Take your measurements

• To make choosing trousers less difficult for you, you will need to take measurements from your waist.

Take the measurement without clothes, press the tape firmly against your body, but do not squeeze, even if you would like to see a smaller number. Focus on your waist measurement, which is two fingers' width above your navel.

• Don't forget that you will also need length measurements, then the second number will mean exactly that.

Also consider what shoes you will wear these pants with. Measure the length of the heel or platform, and only then remove the length if necessary.

• If you have a disproportionate figure, most often wide hips, use a measuring tape to measure them as well.

If you want to choose pants or jeans that will hug your figure, take it more seriously. Try to get the clearest and most accurate result possible.

Centimeters to inches

Since all parameters are measured in inches, you will have to convert your measurement. This is not difficult to do; you just need to multiply the number you saw on the centimeter by 0.39. In this case, the number you receive will correspond to the size.

1. For example, your waist is 75 cm.
2. 75*0,39=29,25

if this number is 30, then the size you need will also correspond to this number.

Size ratio

American system implies a letter designation of sizes. The Latin letter W stands for waist size, and L stands for length. As for clothes of our production, everything is much simpler here - 38,40,42 and so on. In order to use this figure to determine the size of the waist and hips, you need to multiply the size by two and add another four centimeters. For each fashion designer, this figure may vary by several units.

If you come across sizes 22,24,26 in a store, do not be alarmed, these are foreign marks. Knowing your size according to the domestic system, it will be quite easy to decide. Subtract 16 from the size you know. That is, jeans with size 46 correspond to size 30.

More and more often, some manufacturers are starting to produce clothes with labels on which they indicate sizes for residents of different countries.
There is another system for designating sizes in American clothing: XS - if your hips are 86-88 centimeters, S - 88-94, M - 94-98, L - 98-102, XL - 102-104.

How to determine your pants size by height

When choosing trousers or jeans, pay attention to such an important parameter as human height. The length of the trousers depends on the height of the man. To calculate accurate height measurements, stand with your bare feet on a hard surface near a wall, straighten up, and straighten your shoulders.

Many clothing manufacturers do not adhere to a common numbering system and set characteristics according to their interests. This leads men to confusion when determining the appropriate parameters of the model.

How to find out the size of trousers from foreign manufacturers

Manufacturers of branded men's clothing in foreign countries use their own size charts, which are unknown to Russian consumers.

European models men's jeans(Montana, Boss, Mustang) and trouser products are identical to Russian ones, so there is no need to compare the values ​​​​in the table. For example, Euro size 50 is identical to Russian size 50.

Manufacturers of foreign trouser models(Levis, Lee, Wrangler) use a grid based on two important parameters: the length of the pants with the designation L and the waist circumference with the designation W. Since all parameters are expressed in inches, computer technology should be used. You need to subtract the number 16 from the Russian size. The resulting figure will be the required size. For example, the Russian 56th corresponds to the foreign 40th, i.e. from 56 we subtract 16.

International letter markings are used on dense products. To correlate a domestic parameter with an English letter, use the table.

How to choose the right trouser model

When choosing trousers, the man's height and physique are taken into account. Tall men with a thin build will want styles with cuffs that will visually shorten their legs. You can purchase models with pleats on the waistband. They will make a man look voluminous.

Those with a lot of weight and a dense body structure are better off wearing wide-cut pants without creases with a low rise.

In classic models, pay attention to the sewing of pockets. They should not protrude or puff up. Pants legs should not be too short or long. The ideal length ends between the back of the shoe and the beginning of the heel. Socks should not be visible when walking.

Sweatpants sizes

When buying sweatpants, it is not at all necessary to use a table of volumes and parameters; it is enough to use the formula: waist circumference/2+6. For example, the waist is 96 centimeters, divide this figure by 2 and add 6. The resulting value is the 54th size.

The major sports brand Adidas has its own brand designations, which are based on waist and hip circumference. The Adidas company is engaged in tailoring a men's clothing line with a waist size of 71-145 cm and chest circumference from 82 cm to 145 cm.

When you decide to make a purchase through an online store, you must first determine your size. Since each brand has its own size chart, it is better to adhere to its guidelines. If you follow the measurement rules, you can easily purchase the perfect trousers that you will enjoy wearing.

The most accurate way to determine the size of trousers is to try them on. Unfortunately, there is no try-on option when you order clothes from an online store. When purchasing online, you need to know exactly what your markings are, otherwise the pants will take up an eternal place in the closet, because no one wants to experience discomfort when wearing a piece of clothing.

The table will help solve the problem and accurately determine the sizes of men's pants, because it is easy to compare international and Russian markings. In addition, the table contains sizes in inches, which is useful if you are buying English-made trousers.

Instructions for the table

The men's trouser size chart is easy to use and will help you accurately choose your pants size without trying on. You can use it in two ways. The first option is a comparison of Russian and international sizes, as well as English markings in inches. Let's say your Russian size is 48. See the Russian column size range with the number 48 and you see that it corresponds to the international marking M or waist circumference in inches W 33-34.

You don’t need to do any complicated calculations, just choose exact size pants using the table in a minute. All you have to do is find models in the online store that have your markings and make a purchase. If previously you didn’t know how to find out the size of your pants, then you can stop at comparing the markings.

Waist circumference

For more precise definition size, you will have to pick up a flexible centimeter and measure your waist circumference. There are two measurement options here. The first is measuring old trousers, the second is measuring the waist. In the first case, take old trousers, pull them across the width at the waist and measure the distance between the extreme points. After this, multiply the result by 2, get the waist circumference in centimeters and compare it with the dimensions of the table. Waist circumference 81-86 corresponds to Russian size 46/48, English marking 32/34 or international designation M.

If you're measuring old pants, either don't stretch the width too much when measuring, or subtract one size because the pants are already stretched. Without doing this, you will buy trousers that will fit you too loosely and the belt will not be used as an accessory, but for its intended purpose.

Determining size by height

As for choosing a size based on height, you need to measure the length of the inner seam of the trousers. Manufacturers indicate it in inches or centimeters, but there may also be a designation in words, for example, Short is a seam length of 76 cm or 30 inches. To select a size based on your height, measure the seam length on old pants or ask your wife to measure your leg from groin to floor.

The size chart for men is a lifesaver for those who want to shop in online stores. It’s easy to use, and the likelihood of buying the wrong type of pants is minimized.
