Clothing sizes, tables for selecting women's, men's and children's clothing

The main parameter when choosing a new item is its size range. To correctly determine the size of clothing, tables provide a correspondence between the parameters of the human body and the necessary numbers on the tag. Moreover, knowing your standard of one country, you can draw a parallel between different digital series. This article provides many tables for determining the size.

When taking measurements, do not pull in your stomach;
the measuring tape must have clear divisions into centimeters and millimeters;
the position of the tape near the body should be free;
the tape should not dig into the human body;
no need to hold your breath;
when establishing the torso data, the arms must be raised upwards;
It is not allowed to take measurements while dressed;

Main dimensions

The data that determines the main parameter include those that determine the sizes of outerwear, jeans, T-shirts and other things. In this case, the parameters of the figure are taken into account. The numbers are measured in millimeters, centimeters or inches. The section provides tables of clothing sizes and their correspondence to the parameters of the human body.

Men's

Men's clothing sizes will help you avoid making mistakes when choosing things. The main value is the chest circumference. However, when choosing a thing for a man, you should also focus on the hip and waist circumference.

Women's

The table of correspondence of clothing sizes to physical parameters and their different numbers (correspondence to countries) are given below. Having carried out the correspondence, you can choose the right thing regardless of the country of manufacture.

Russian standard	European standards	Chest circumference	Waist	Thighs
40	XS	800	650	900
42	XS	850	690	950
44	M	890	730	980
46	M	930	770	1010
48	L	970	810	1040
50	L	1020	850	1080
52	XXL	1070	900	1120
54	XXL	1130	950	1160

Having calculated your Russian number, you can draw a parallel and calculate the required item from a foreign manufacturer. It is not necessary to take measurements again for this. The data from the tables will be correct provided that the measurements are taken correctly.

Children's

Children's clothing sizes differ from those for adults. The children's size chart assumes, first of all, the measurement of height or body length, as well as the child's age. Since the circumference of the head, neck, waist, chest, and hips of children often corresponds to standards, when determining the number on the tag, attention is first paid to the child's height.

Age	Height (length), in mm (maximum)	Norm
1-2 months	560	36
3 months	620	40
6 months	680	44
9-12 months	800	48
1.5 years	920	52
2 years	980	56
3-4 years	1040	60
5-6 years	1160	64
7 years	1220	68
8 years	1280	68
9 years	1340	72
10 years	1400	76
12 years old	1460	76
13 years old	1520	80
14 years old	1580	84

For headwear

To determine the sign on the headdress tag for its compliance with the Russian one, it is necessary to measure the head circumference. It is measured at a level of 1 cm above the eyebrows. The length of the head circumference corresponds to the Russian number, it is possible to find out the international parameter using these tables.

At the shoes

When choosing shoes, the main parameter is the length of the foot. It is measured in millimeters, then converted into centimeters (if necessary). The foot must be measured standing.

At the gloves

To measure the circumference of the palm, you need to measure the palm at its widest point with a tape measure. The thumb is not captured by the tape measure. When measuring, the tape measure cannot be pulled tight - it should lie freely on the hand. The decoding is given in the table below.

Standard	Palm circumference, cm
4/XXXS	9.5-12
5/XXS	12-14.5
6/XS	14.5-17.5
7/S	17.5-20
8/M	20-22.5
9/L	22.5-26.5
10/XL	26.5-28
11/XXL	28-31
12/XXXL	31-33.5
13/XXXXL	33.5-35

You can determine your size range by taking precise measurements. Standards may differ in different countries. The tables provided in this article will help you make the right choice.
