Find your Forever 21 size
Measure your body (not a garment) with a soft tape, snug but not tight.
Enter your measurements to see your Forever 21 size.
Fit tip: Forever 21 uses junior sizing that runs small and inconsistent, especially tops and jeans, so size up if between sizes.
How to measure
- Chest / bust: around the fullest part, keeping the tape level.
- Waist: around the narrowest part, usually at the belly button.
- Hips: around the widest part of your seat.
- Foot length: stand on paper, mark from heel to longest toe, then measure the line.
Use a soft tape over light clothing, snug but not tight. No tape measure? Scan yourself with the Size AI app.
