MAKE SURE EVERYTHING measures up
It’s easy to take sizing for granted. But styles, fabrics, and even bodies can change from one year to the next. In order to make sure you get the best fit possible, take a few minutes to get a proper measurement.
MEN Neck. Measure around the base of the neck, where a collared shirt would fit. Chest. Measure across the fullest part of the chest, under the arms and across the back. Waist. Measure over the shirt at the waistline, where pants are normally worn. Tighten the tape as snug as you prefer your pants to fit. Inseam. After adjusting pants to the position they’re normally worn, measure from the inseam to the top of the shoe (or desired length). WOMEN Bust. Measure under the arms and around the fullest part of the bust. Waist. Measure around the narrowest part of the natural waistline ( just above the hip bones). Hips. Measure around the fullest part of the hips (normally 7” to 8” below the natural waistline). Sleeve length. Measure from the center of the outside collar over the shoulder, around the elbow, to the point where the sleeve should end (usually the bottom of the wrist bone).
