How to Choose the Right Men’s Clothing Sizes

When shopping online, it can be challenging to determine if an outfit will fit you well or not. Most manufacturers in the United States use American size standards allowing you to select a suitable size if you are familiar with the one you usually buy.

However, if you don’t have a clue about your clothing size, you can learn that right here.

With a flexible tape measure and a pair of extra hands, you can find the perfect size of jeans, pants, suits, and shirts. Different brands have their own sizing standards, and that’s why your measurements are the best standard for finding a good fit.

Checking the size labels on your clothes won’t always work because your ideal size could be different across various manufacturers.

How to Take Body Measurements for Men’s Clothing

Your body type, posture, and physical size will determine if you get an accurate measurement. You should stand upright but relaxed as someone else takes the body measurements.

Chest measurement – Keeping the tape horizontal to the floor, measure the widest part of the chest. The tape should also go under your arms and around your back. You can have at least an inch of ease depending on the fit you want in your shirt or coat.
Waist measurement – This is the circumference of your natural waistline, below your ribs. If you want a snug fit, you can be shirtless or wearing a close-fitting vest as the measurements are taken.
Hip measurement – Like the previous measurements, measure around the widest part of your buttocks while keeping the tape parallel to the ground.

After recording the measurements, the next step is to compare the values with what’s in the charts. This is the easiest way to get an accurate size for your outfits.
