FINDING THE RIGHT SIZE
Finding the right clothing size can be a real challenge. Sometimes sizes are shown in numbers, other times in letters from XXS to XL. Then there are short and long sizes, not to mention differences from brand to brand and between countries. No wonder it’s easy to lose track!
To help you find the perfect fit and always order the correct size, we’ve put together the most important size charts for you here.
HOW TO TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENTS
A. Chest
Measure around the widest part, under the arms, keeping the tape measure horizontal.
B. Waist
Measure around your natural waist, roughly at navel height. Keep the tape horizontal.
C. Hip
Measure around the fullest part of your hips, about 20 cm below the waist. Keep the tape nicely horizontal.
D. Thigh
Measure around your thigh just below the crotch, keeping the tape horizontal.
E. Knee
Measure around your knee at the widest point. Again: keep the tape horizontal and don’t pull it too tight.
F. Inseam
Stand against a wall and have someone measure from the crotch down to the ankle.
G. Bust
Measure around the fullest part of the bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
H. Height
Stand against a wall and have someone measure from the floor to the highest point of your head, keeping the tape vertical.
J. Arm Length
Measure from the shoulder (upper arm bone) to the wrist.
K. Head Size
Measure around your head about 1–2 cm above the eyebrows, passing over the widest part at the back of the head and slightly above the ears, keeping the tape horizontal.
