Levi's Kids Size Guide
Levi’s Kids
Go by height first, then check the waist.
Levi’s build their kids sizes around height, not age. A child’s age will get you close, but the height row is the one that’s right. Once you have the size, check the waist — that is what decides whether the jeans stay up, and it is why Levi’s make a slim and a husky cut at the same heights.

Same for boys and girls — Levi’s publish one set of figures for both at this age. 2T, 3T and 4T are roughly ages 1–2, 2–3 and 3–4. For toddler girls Levi’s also give a waist: 20″ at 2T, 20.5″ at 3T and 21″ at 4T. They don’t publish a toddler waist for boys.

Body measurements. Levi’s put girls’ letter sizes on a separate chart keyed to age rather than to these numbers, so we haven’t matched letters against the numeric sizes here. Levi’s also publish slim, husky and plus charts at these same heights — if your child is between sizes at the waist, ask and we’ll pull the right one.
We’ve left Levi’s 0–6X girls and 0–7X boys charts off this page on purpose. The two are printed with identical figures, and the girls’ one carries a 7X row on a chart labelled up to 6X. We’re not going to print numbers we can’t stand behind. For that age, use the baby and toddler table above and measure the waist.
