Stick with familiar sites. Visit the website of your favorite department store or boutique, so you're familiar with the quality and sizing of their clothes, particularly their jeans.

Step 2
Use the size chart. Jeans can be sized a variety of ways--from juniors to misses, tall to petite, waist size to European size--so use the online size charts as a guide. Measure yourself if you're unsure.

Step 3
Look at the jeans in your closet and think about which styles and colors work best for you. Then look for similar characteristics onliine.

Consider your body type. Avoid high-waisted jeans if you're short-waisted, and stay away from straight-legged styles if you have fuller thighs and hips. Many sites offer a denim guide, which will offer style recommendations for specific body types and tips for getting the best fit.

Check the return or exchange policy, to make sure you can return your jeans or exchange them for a different size if they don't fit properly.
