How to determine the size of men's shirts and other things

All of us, men and women, women of fashion and those who care about the presence of a large number of outfits in the wardrobe, have to buy their own clothes. The variety of things of different manufacturers creates difficulties in determining its size. For example, the size of US clothing is different from that produced in Russia. This article is about how to deal with these standards and not to molest the sellers with the request: "Show me this thing, please, on me?".

To begin with, you should learn to determine your clothing size in accordance with generally accepted standards in Russia. When measuring, do not pull the tape and draw in the measured parts of the body - any measurements should be taken in a relaxed state. Different parameters are important for different things of the wardrobe, for example, the size of the men's shirts most often depends on the neck circumference.

• One of the important indicators, the incorrect definition of which threatens to turn into very long pants or sleeves on the jacket, is growth. To determine it, it is necessary, as in childhood, to stand barefoot with your back to the wall and accurately mark the place where your crown ends. The distance from the floor to the dash will be the growth index. It is necessary to choose clothes with indication of the marking of growth close to yours.

• The next parameter is the chest girth (OG). The most prominent parts of the chest are measured. It is on it determines the size of clothing for the upper body - jackets, sweaters, blouses, T-shirts. To determine it, you need to divide the exhaust gas into 2. For example, an OG equal to 88 cm corresponds to 44 Russian size, and an OG of 100 cm to 50th.

• Girth under the chest is important for determining the size of women's underwear. Here everything is clear - the measured volume and is written in the marking. For example, 75B, where 75 - the volume under the chest. Letter in the marking - the difference between the volume under the breast and the exhaust. The most common sizes are defined as follows: the difference is 11-13 cm - A, 13-15 cm - B, 15-17 cm - C, 17-19 cm - D, etc.

• Waist circumference (OT) is measured at the narrowest point of the waist.

• The hip circumference (OB) is measured, on the contrary, by the most prominent places of the buttocks. On it, as well as on the OG, the size is determined. Only now - clothes for the lower part of the body: trousers, shorts. Everything is exactly the same as in the case of OG, dividing by 2.

• To determine the necessary length of trousers, including jeans, you need a parameter such as the length of the inner seam. It is worth considering that, for example, jeans look nice, if slightly narrowed to the bottom of the product. By the way, their length is often referred to as the length of the inner seam, but in inches. You can calculate it by dividing the length by 2.54 and rounding the result. For example, the length of 81 cm is 32 inches. The length of trousers is better measured by the already available, suitable for you, comfortable trousers.

By the way, the size of men's shirts is also determined by the girth of the chest. But on the label, as a rule, there are also indicators such as the growth and girth of the neck.

Often on items, you can find out the clothing sizes indicated by letters: "S", "M", "L", etc. These dimensions correspond to the Russian ones: XS - 42 size, S - 44, M - 46, L - 48, XL - 50, XXL - 52.

When choosing clothes of their size, it is necessary to take into account that sometimes it is important that the thing does not fit and emphasize the unprofitable parts of the body. So, for example, paying attention to the size of men's shirts, add a couple of centimeters to the neck circumference.

If any of your measurements do not meet the standards indicated on the markings of things, and most likely, so it is, you should round the size up. For example, if you reduce and do not increase all the same size of men's shirts, taking into account the advice on measuring neck circumference, then, you know, this will not do anything good. A shirt, slightly free around the neck, will tighten the chest, which, in addition to feeling uncomfortable, will also emphasize the unpresentable appearance.
