🧵 Fit Overview
KanCan jeans and shorts are made with both stretch and structure, depending on the style. Most stretch styles run true to size and hug your curves beautifully. If you're shopping rigid or vintage denim, we recommend sizing up for comfort. For plus-size shoppers, both alpha sizing (1X–3X) and numeric sizes (16W–22W) are available — see below for details.

💡 Fit Tips
- Stretch styles = stick to your usual size.
- Rigid denim = size up for a relaxed fit in the waist.
- 1X = 16W, 2X = 18W, 3X = 20W — they’re the same size, just different labels.
- KanCan's plus styles offer curve-flattering cuts and a comfortable mid-to-high rise fit.
