Pikeur Sizing
Pikeur Breeches Size & Fit Guide
Finding the right pair of breeches isn't just about choosing your usual size. The cut, rise and feel can make all the difference to how comfortable and confident you feel in the saddle.
Pikeur is known for beautifully tailored breeches that combine a flattering fit with the performance riders expect. But with different styles to choose from, it's worth knowing what sets them apart.
How do Pikeur breeches fit?
Pikeur breeches are generally true to size, with a close, tailored fit.
The classic styles tend to offer a little more flexibility, while some of the technical and athleisure styles have a more supportive, compression-style feel and can come up slightly smaller.
If you're between sizes, you can often size down in the classic styles, depending on how you prefer your breeches to fit. For the more fitted technical styles, we'd recommend checking the individual product fit notes before choosing.
Which Pikeur breeches are right for you?
Everyone has their favourite style of breeches, and the difference often comes down to how you feel they fit.
| Candela | Love a high waist? Candela features a beautifully supportive, high-rise waistband with a wider belt area and multiple fastenings. Available in classic, grip seat and denim styles, it's a favourite for riders who like a secure, flattering fit. |
| Luguna | A true Pikeur classic. This best-selling style has a traditional mid-to-high rise and a flattering cut that suits a wide range of body shapes. A great choice if you prefer something a little less structured than Candela. |
| Riding Tights | Prefer a second-skin feel? Pikeur riding tights offer plenty of stretch and freedom of movement, with a close, sculpting fit that's ideal for everyday riding. |
| Amia | The best of both worlds. Amia combines a comfortable, supportive fit with the flexibility you want in the saddle. A lovely option if you're looking for something between a traditional breech and a more technical style. |
Our fit tip: Think about where you like your waistband to sit and how much support you prefer. Often, finding your favourite breeches is more about choosing the right cut than changing your size.
Need a little extra length?
If you're over 5'9", or simply have longer legs, Pikeur's long-length breeches are worth considering.
They offer approximately 1 inch (2–3 cm) of additional leg length, giving you a little more room without having to size up through the waist and hips.
A great option for petite riders
Here's a tip that's worth knowing: if you're petite, don't overlook the Pikeur children's range.
Children's sizes can fit riders up to approximately a UK 10 and may offer a neater fit if you find adult breeches too generous through the thighs or lower legs.
Long-length and children's styles aren't part of our usual stocked range, but we can order them for you.
