How to choose the ideal size of women's trousers according to any size chart? Men's pants sizes: how to find out yours? Men's pants sizes table by height

How to quickly and accurately determine your motorcycle pants size?There are several ways.


Similarly:

Take your pants, or better yet two or three. Look at the labels and look for the following inscription on them: W32L34 or W36L33 or something like that. The letter W means your waist size, L - length. I need a size with the letter W, i.e. in this example 32 or 36.

Why do you need multiple pants? For accuracy, since some brands have very specific sizes and can differ very much from the common ones.

With a calculator:

You will need a measuring tape and, again, pants.

Take the pants that make you feel most comfortable. Stretch them at the waist and measure the distance between your arms with a centimeter. Multiply the resulting volume in centimeters by two times. This will give you an approximate waist circumference. To convert to inches, divide your waist circumference by 2.54. The resulting number is the size of your favorite pants.

Difficult:

You will need a measuring tape and yourself.

If you don’t have “example” pants, but you need to determine the size, then take a centimeter and take several measurements. First measure your waist circumference. Make sure that the centimeter does not tighten the skin and at the same time does not dangle. Divide the resulting figure by 2.54. You have a size that is written next to the letter W. It means waist (translated from English as a belt).

The second number that interests you is located on the marking next to the letter L, which means “length” and indicates the length of the inner seam. This is the distance from the groin to the floor. Convert Russian centimeters to inches, and it is in them that the indicators for pants are measured. To do this, as already mentioned, divide the resulting centimeters by 2.54.

When taking all measurements, do not pull the measuring tape too tightly so that the measured values ​​are close to the real ones.

If the size is indicated in Latin letters, then it has the following correspondence to numbers:

28 - XS
30 - S
32 - M
34 - L
36 - XL
38 - XXL
40 - XXXL

Important:

Of course, this does not cancel trying on in a store, because even from one manufacturer, sizes can change. And we try to take this point into account on our website: if pants are listed as size 32, then they are exactly size 32, even if the pants say 34. American manufacturers are especially prone to inaccuracies - they generally have their own labeling system. And you can say “one hundred percent” whether the pants fit or not only after trying them on. Therefore, choose the model of pants you like, check availability on the website and come try it on. See you!

Pants today come in a variety of styles, materials, and brands. All mass-produced clothing is sewn according to patterns cut to a standard figure. However, standards vary, and this is explained by the fact that anthropometric data, that is, the proportions of the figure, differ among different peoples. For example, Asians are much smaller than Europeans, so their sizes are considered small.

In this article we will learn how to determine women's clothing sizes, using trousers as an example.

Determining your size of women's trousers

How to decide on the size so that the trousers, despite the cut, fit perfectly? Let us note right away that there are not only Russian, but also German sizes of women's trousers, European, American and international, but more on them later. Now it is important for us to find out our parameters and compare them with Russian standards.

To do this, you will need a measuring tape (new or old, but unstretched), a piece of paper, and a pencil. The size of standard trousers is calculated by two indicators - waist and hips.

  • The waist size should be measured exactly where you plan to wear the trousers (this depends on their fit).
  • The volume of the hips is measured at the most protruding points of the buttocks.

By taking these measurements, you can find out your size of women's trousers, and the correspondence table, which is attached to the article, will help you with this.

Height, cm Leg length from waist, cm Hip circumference, cm Waist circumference, cm Size, Russia International standard

How to find out the size of women's trousers without a table?

Depending on the style selected, other measurements may be required. This includes: length of the product along the inner and outer seams, width of the trouser legs, seat height and others.

Foreign trouser sizes, whether women's or men's, are measured in inches. Converting centimeters to inches is not difficult. It is necessary to divide the results obtained by 2.54 or take new measurements with the back of the measuring tape, where the measurement scale is marked in inches.

How to find out your size of women's trousers among "strangers"?

To do this, you need to know your parameters in inch equivalent. You can convert Russian sizes of women's trousers into European ones by subtracting the number 6. Above we learned that we are, conditionally, size 52. Accordingly, 52-6=46 European size.

Regarding American, Russian sizes of women's trousers can be determined as follows: 0 USA - 38 Russia; 2 - 40 and so on. Usually sizes are expressed in numbers, but the international system has a letter designation: XS corresponds to sizes 40-42; S - 42-44; M - 44-46; L - 46-48; XL - 48-50, etc.)

More complete information on sizing is presented in the table below.

Knowing how different manufacturers designate clothing sizes for women, it will be much easier to choose trousers. But remember that no number will guarantee a perfect fit. Only trying on will help you choose the perfect pants size.

Most people (especially the male half) prefer to buy clothes in regular stores in their city, even though they are several times more expensive. Why is this happening? It's all about mistrust of brands and manufacturers; a person simply cannot imagine how you can buy something (especially pants) without trying it on.

In fact, you shouldn’t be afraid - if you correctly determine your size, then no problems will arise and shopping in an online store will bring great joy and pleasure.

How to determine the size of men's pants?

The sizes of pants from foreign companies are measured in two directions: in the waist circumference (W) and in the length of the leg along the inner seam (L). This size is usually called inseam, which means “inner seam”. Dimensions, of course, are indicated in inches.

If you know exactly your Russian size in the table/grid of men's pants sizes, then you just need to subtract the number 16 from it. As a result, you will get a “W” waist circumference. For example, you wear size 48 pants: 48 – 16 = 32. Your ideal size is W32.

To determine the second parameter of the men's clothing size line (pants), you need to use a tape measure or a centimeter to measure the length of the pant leg from the groin to the level that seems comfortable to you. Some people like their pants to bunch up a little at the bottom, while others prefer a moderate or short leg length.

The appropriate pant leg length can vary greatly between men of the same build. There is no correspondence between the size and the appropriate length.

We remind you: the length of your pants should not be measured by old and comfortable jeans or trousers, but by your actual figure. The sizes of men's sweatpants are determined much more simply - you just need to measure the circumference of your hips and go shopping with this figure.

Topics of the material

Trousers are an indispensable part of a man's wardrobe and should be in the closet of any member of the stronger sex. At the same time, every man knows how difficult it can sometimes be to choose men's trousers of the right size, especially when you have to buy them without trying them on, for example, when shopping online.

Today we will tell you how to correctly determine your size of men's trousers and accurately choose the model that suits you.

How to determine your pants size

If, as a rule, there are no problems with Russian sizes, then when buying clothes from foreign manufacturers, most people get confused by incomprehensible markings. Most often, other digital or letter designations are used on clothes made by foreign companies.

They are quite easy to understand. You can do this using a table of trouser sizes for men.

In order to correctly determine the size of trousers for men using this table, you need to know your measurements or your Russian size. In this case, the first “guideline” is considered more accurate, since your size may have changed since your last purchase. In addition, it is possible that your parameters correspond, for example, to standard size 50, and the manufacturer mistakenly sewed a label with the number 52 on your trousers.

That is why it is advisable to start any purchase by taking appropriate measurements. To purchase trousers, you need to know your waist and hip circumference, as well as the length of the legs along the inseam.

You can find out the necessary parameters in two ways.

  1. If you have an assistant, ask him to measure the width of your waist, as well as your hips, in the area where your buttocks protrude most. Then, using a measuring tape, you need to measure the distance from the groin to the end of the intended trouser leg. You will not be able to take these measurements yourself, since you must stand straight during fitting. Also, when taking measurements, you should not pull in your stomach, bend over, bend your knees, etc.
  2. In the event that there is no one to help you, you can do differently. Open your closet and choose trousers that fit you well and suit all your needs. Lay them on a flat surface and measure the width of the waistband, as well as the hips, that is, the place where the trousers “sit” on the buttocks. Multiply each number by two. Then also measure the length of the inseam of one of the legs. We do not multiply this indicator, but leave it in its “pristine” form.

Now you know all your parameters and can easily navigate the size tables.

At the same time, do not forget in any case that when purchasing, not only the size of the trousers is important, but also the height they are designed for. As a rule, the markings on them look like this: 52/170, where the first indicator indicates the size, and the second indicates the man’s height. Russian height markings on trousers are set in increments of 4 centimeters. You can also find out which size is right for you using the tables.

Size chart for men's classic trousers by height

When buying sweatpants, you don’t have to use a table of men’s trouser sizes, but determine it using the formula: waist circumference/2+6. That is, if your waist is 97 cm, then, after rounding, it turns out that your size is 54. Looking at the table, you can see that this is the correct result.

However, this method of calculating sizes is only suitable when buying sports pants that are fastened with an elastic band and can forgive a mistake of 2-3 centimeters when determining the required size marking.

How to buy trousers from foreign manufacturers?

Here you can also use the table above to guide you. However, when buying imported trousers, you may encounter a different type of size marking - W30L32.

Initially, this designation was used to determine the size of jeans. But over time, trouser manufacturers also began to use it. Here W is the size of the product, and L is the length of the pants along the inseam.

In this situation, you can determine your size in two ways:

  1. method: Convert your parameters from centimeters to inches by dividing the numbers by 2.54. This way you will get the necessary indicators. W is the waist circumference, and L is the length of the legs along the inseam.
  2. method: Check your data (in centimeters) with a special table of men's jeans sizes.

Size chart by height

When determining your foreign size of men's trousers, keep in mind that size markings may depend not only on the country where they were sewn, but also on the manufacturer.

The problem is that many, especially small companies engaged in the production of men's clothing (trousers, jeans, shorts...) often deviate from the standard sizes in their lines.

Therefore, the surest way to buy the “right” trousers is to study the size charts of their direct manufacturer. Most often, such information can be found on the company’s website or online stores where its products are presented.

What should be the ideal trousers for men?

  • Men's trousers should not tightly fit the buttocks, but at the same time, it is considered wrong for them to hang on a man like a curtain on a curtain rod. Look for the “golden mean”;
  • It is unacceptable for the pockets on your pants to become very bulging;
  • Classic trousers should barely cover a man's heel in length. That is, when he stands straight, the heel of his shoe should be visible. In this case, it is necessary that the trousers “go” exactly along the man’s leg and do not form an “accordion” of several folds at the bottom. Also, socks should not be visible when walking;
  • When buying trousers, you need to take into account your body shape. A tall and thin man should choose a model with cuffs and without arrows. But for short representatives of the stronger sex, on the contrary, it is better to buy pants without cuffs and with clearly defined arrows. For overweight men, it is advisable to opt for fairly wide pants that should not have creases.

And, of course, when putting on classic trousers, we must not forget that, unlike jeans, they oblige a man to have appropriate shoes and a “top”. It is no longer acceptable to wear a T-shirt or a “fancy” pullover with them. And of course, trousers should always be clean and well ironed.

The development of online commerce makes it possible to buy almost any clothing online today. Such a purchase is usually more affordable and there are no problems with the assortment. But not everything is smooth in the Danish kingdom; there are also problems when purchasing from an online store. The main problem is the difficulty in choosing the size of clothes, in particular trousers, because it is impossible to try them on through the monitor.

A table of men's trouser sizes will help you choose the right marking, which indicates:

  1. Russian size,
  2. Waist and hip circumference,
  3. Marking of England, Italy, USA and Europe.

A size chart for men is a good help when purchasing, because with its help you can reduce the likelihood of purchasing the wrong size to zero. In the table, everything is simple: take your waist circumference and select the trouser size according to it, taking into account the marking of the country of the clothing manufacturer. There is a second option - look at the size on your old trousers and select the markings of another manufacturer to match it.

Russian sizes are numbered from 44 to 70, the English marking is marked UK and the size range is 32-62, and the sizes in the USA are marked US and are marked 34-64. There are also international sizes, they are designated by Roman numerals from XXS to 5XL. All this is clearly visible in the size table.

Selecting the markings of trousers

For example, you wear trousers with the English marking UK 36, but want to buy trousers made in Italy. In this case, the Italian marking 46 is suitable for you, but if the trousers are made in the USA, then order US size 38. Everything is simple, because using the table and comparing the markings you can easily select any size of men's pants.

It is somewhat more difficult to find out the markings of pants if the size in old trousers is worn out and invisible. In this case, you will have to pick up a measuring tape and measure your waist (preferably your hip circumference). The waist is wrapped with a tape parallel to the floor, while the stomach should not be protruded or retracted, and the tape itself should not be pulled too tightly.

Suppose your waist has a girth of 94 cm. We look at the table and see that the girth corresponds to the Russian marking 52, UK 40, US 42 or the international standard L.

We figured out how to find out the size of pants by waist, all that remains is to decide on the length of the pants, because everyone’s height is different. Manufacturers indicate the length of the pants on the trousers, and not the height of the person, so you need to measure the old trousers along the length or measure the distance from the waist to the floor. An assistant will not be superfluous here; if he is not there, but you want to make a purchase right now, then proceed in the following way.

Take a tape measure; at the beginning there is a bend that you need to press with your foot to the floor. After this, stretch the tape measure to the waist and look at the length of the pant leg. This option is suitable only as a last resort; it is better to have your wife or friend try you on, this way it is easier to accurately determine the exact marking of the trousers by length.
