How to determine your pants size?

When choosing trousers in an online store, it is very important to determine your size correctly. Yes, and when shopping in a regular store, it would also be good to immediately take trousers that fit the size from the shelf, and not measure the entire size range.

Taking measurements to determine the size is very simple, for this we need to take a measuring tape and measure the girth at the widest point of the hips, at the most protruding place in the buttocks and the waist at the narrowest point, without tightening the measuring tape.

The sizes on trousers are often indicated European, German, American, in this case a table will help us, with the help of which we will find the size that matches the desired one. The determining parameter when choosing women's trousers is the circumference of the hips, since the fit of the trousers at the waist can be adjusted with an elastic band or a belt.

What is a step seam?

On the labels of trousers of well-known brands, to simplify the choice, not only the size is often indicated, but also the height and length of the crotch. The crotch is the seam of the trousers along the inside of the leg from the groin to the ankle. This measurement determines the length of the product. The crotch length can come in handy if you are choosing pants or jeans without trying them on.

There are pants with low crotch. These are trousers cut in shalwaras, afghanis, aladdins, baggies.

Additional dimensions

Depending on the height and length of the legs, the following additional sizes exist:

K - trousers for girls and women of small stature, approximately up to 165 centimeters, the length of the crotch is approximately 75 centimeters.
N - average height from 165 to 172 centimeters, the length of the inner seam of the trousers is about 81 centimeters.
L- for tall ladies from 172 centimeters, the length of the crotch is about 88 centimeters.

The presence of additional parameters in the form of size and leg length greatly simplifies the choice, buying trousers of the desired length can save you money and not hem the trousers in the atelier.

Selection Tips

It is better to prepare for a trip to the store for trousers in advance, for this we take all the measurements that may be useful to us: waist, hips, length of the product. We select the model of interest and then study the label or ask for help from a consultant.

Tip: take trousers in two adjacent sizes to the fitting room at once, so you can immediately assess which one fits the figure better and is more comfortable.If you prefer to order clothes in online stores, pay special attention to taking measurements and determining the size according to the tables of a particular store, they may differ from the generally accepted ones.
