Size guide
What are common mistakes when choosing clothing sizes?
- Choosing the size based only on your height or weight; both must be accurate.
- Simply choosing the size you normally wear comfortably. Remember, there are thousands of clothing manufacturers. Due to different measurement systems, there may be slight variations in size standards. Both methods can lead to clothes that do not fit properly.
How do I choose the right size?
- Measure your body dimensions correctly.
- In general, clothing sizes are slightly larger than the actual dimensions of the human body. When women buy clothing, the bust measurement of the clothes should ideally be 2-4 inches larger than the physical body size. Similarly, the bust measurement of men’s clothing should be 4-6 inches larger than the body size, and the waist measurement of the clothes should be between 0.8 and 1.6 inches larger than the body size. For winter coats, the size discrepancy should be slightly larger than the numbers mentioned above. (The above information is for reference only, with specific differences depending on personal taste, seasonal style, and fabric of the clothes).
- You can lay out the most comfortable clothes you usually wear, measure the bust, waist, hips, and other areas, and then compare the measurements with the size chart. Simply choose the closest size.
How to measure women’s clothing
To choose the correct size for you, measure your body as follows:
- BUST: Measure around the fullest part of the bust.
- WAIST: Measure around the waist at the narrowest point.
- HIPS: Stand with your heels together and measure around the fullest part of the hips.
TIPS: Always keep the tape measure loose to ensure you get the correct result.
