To determine if jeans are too big or too small, check the waist and thigh fit. If the waist gaps or you can fit more than two fingers comfortably in the waistband, they're too big. If you struggle to button the jeans, or they cause discomfort at the waist and thighs, they're too small. Additionally, examine the crotch and seat areas; excess fabric indicates a larger size is needed, while tightness and pulling signify a smaller size may be required.
