Since there are no numbers, I just went with the size I fit in shirts which is 1X. I didnt choose Large because, if it helps, I'm 5'3 and weigh about 220, African American woman within college/University/job age, pear shaped body. This size is great and holds up at the waist even with filled pockets, and is roomy from the pudge to thighs, and baggy from the knees down. It's comfortable and feels like the soft denim pants you'd wear to church if that makes any sense (y'know, the stretchy blue jeans fit to the body with goldish-yellow stitching and are TOO VERY smooth lol). Highly recommend buying your original size! Nothing is so snug you have to suck the stomach in or can't breathe when you sit down, you're stellar with your genuine size y'stylish goobers ✨️
