Jeans sizes
Jeans are a versatile item that every girl should have in her wardrobe. They help to create stylish and practical images in which you feel very comfortable. It is important that jeans fit well on the figure, hide flaws as much as possible and emphasize advantages. To do this, you need to accurately select the size.
In this article, we will talk about how to find out your size, share tips for choosing and tell you how the size charts of different countries of the world differ. This will make the selection process a pleasant and hassle-free process for you.
Size systems
Russian
First of all, consider a domestic manufacturer. We are accustomed to the Russian classification, so most girls have no difficulty with it. But let's remember its main differences and features.
To determine the Russian size, you need to measure the circumference of the hips and divide the resulting number by two. For example, if the volume is 96 centimeters, then size 46 will suit you. But remember that different brands may work according to different patterns, and sizes may have some differences. Therefore, it is best to try on, so you definitely will not make a mistake with the choice.
If you want to make a purchase on the Internet, then carefully study the site and the dimensional grid offered by it.
American
As practice shows, often the sizes of pants from the USA are indicated by the letters L and W. Some American brands use the size designations XS, S, M, L, XL. The letter "X", located in front, means "extra" - that is, very much. Therefore, XS is the minimum size and XL is the largest size. For very large jeans, XXL, 3XL, and so on are used. It is extremely rare to find sizes from 0 to 20 that will fit XS - XL.
In order not to miscalculate and make the right choice, it is better to use a special table that greatly simplifies the task. Often girls have a question: “How to use the table correctly?”. To do this, you need to know two indicators - waist (W) and length (L). Remember that the length is measured at the point where the seams of the product converge. The table contains several columns, which will not be difficult to decipher.
Also, many are faced with the problem of translating Russian sizes into American ones and vice versa. In order to determine the American one, you need to subtract 16 from the domestic one. For example, if you have a “52” size, then as a result you will get 36. This is important to know, because a huge number of modern stores provide products from the USA.
European
European sizes differ from all others in that they are measured in inches. If you understand how to correctly convert inches into centimeters we are used to, then the process of selecting the right size will not cause you much difficulty. So the number next to the W and L designations is the length of the leg and the waist. Let's look at an example: if your waist is 72 cm, then the European size is 29 (73/2.5 = 29.2).
The length is determined without exact measurements: for girls with a height of 161 to 171 cm, the designation L30 is suitable, if your height is from 171 to 181 cm, then L32, taller - L34. But remember that the proportions are different for everyone, so if you are not sure about the correctness of the data, and there is no way to try on the product, then it is recommended to measure the length at the seams on your jeans in centimeters. After that, the figure that you got must be divided by 2.5. As a result, you will choose for yourself the most optimal model in size.
To determine the European size, you just need to understand these two designations - W (waist) and L (pants length along the inside seams). With this information, you will definitely be able to buy the right option for yourself. Pay special attention to the volume, because this is an indicator of whether the jeans will sit on you in a way that emphasizes your dignity. The length of the trouser leg does not play such an important role, since the product can be cut.
Chinese
On the territory of China there is no single system for designating sizes, which can lead to a dead end. But you should not avoid these products, because the website of almost any company has its own size chart. As a rule, on Chinese jeans, the size is indicated by the letters S, M, and L. So they fully correspond to the Russian 40-52 and the European 32-54. Many experts say that the Chinese sew clothes a little less, so you should not choose jeans without a table. This is due to the fact that the average height of Asians is much lower than Europeans. When buying these jeans, you need to be especially careful.
How to know your size?
To understand what size you have, if there is no table at hand, you can do it using simple mathematical calculations.
Girls who wear domestic size 42 need to be subtracted from 16 and we get 26. This will be your size, which is worth trying on. If your height is about 165 centimeters and the length of the seam is 76 centimeters, then the label should indicate "L30".
Today, many brands publish entire instructions on their websites in order to explain to customers how to choose their size correctly. This is very useful information that should not be ignored and bypassed.
How to choose women's jeans
The main advice that all stylists give is to try on as many different models as possible to make it easier to make the final choice. Remember that good jeans should adorn the figure.
Many high-quality jeans tend to stretch a little, so it's best to order a little less.
When choosing, be sure to pay attention to the fittings, it can tell you a lot about the production process and quality. Buttons should be strong and well sewn, and the seams should be even. It is good if the lightning is made of high-quality metal.
On high-quality jeans, the labels are made of genuine leather. It is necessary to evaluate the quality of the seams: they must be neat and as even as possible. No protruding threads or other even small errors are allowed.
What measurements are needed to determine the size
If you need to accurately determine the size of jeans, then first you need to measure the waist and hips. It is better to do this at home, where no one will rush or push you. It is not always enough to know these indicators. Sometimes it is worth considering the fullness of the legs and, of course, height.
It is very important to pay attention to the material from which the jeans are made.
If you are not thin, then it is better to give preference to models with a minimum amount of stretch threads. Cotton products are the best option. If we are talking about pure cotton, then you need to take those models that fit perfectly on you in the store. This material does not deform and does not stretch during wear.
Well-stretched jeans create the appearance of stretched shapes only at first. After a short period of time, in places where the greatest load is applied, stretched fragments will begin to appear. This greatly spoils the appearance of products and is striking.
When choosing jeans, the model is of great importance. Girls with chiseled forms will suit almost any option. But the owners of magnificent forms need to work a little. In this case, it is better to bypass tight-fitting options. Otherwise, you risk showing your flaws. You should also avoid jeans with a lot of decor and shiny elements. They not only cheapen the appearance, but also add extra centimeters to the hips.
It is better for full representatives of the fair sex to give preference to options with a high fit. So all the flaws of the figure will be hidden as much as possible. These models are at the peak of popularity today. Jeans with a high waistline are presented by almost all the leading designers in the world.
For jeans to last a really long time, they must be washed exclusively in warm water, preferably turned inside out. The process should be done only by hand, refuse machine washing. It is not worth squeezing them, so as not to damage the structure and color of the product.
Remember that you also need to iron jeans only from the wrong side.So they will serve you for many years and will shine with their beautiful appearance.
Selection Tips
Choosing the right size is an important and responsible task that requires some knowledge.
Almost all manufacturers add a little elastane or lycra to jeans, which help the product to sit well on the figure. These additives allow the material to stretch. In the process of choosing the right model, keep in mind that they may be slightly deformed. It is for this reason that all measurements taken must be rounded down.
Earlier we told you how to find your size correctly, but there are some important subtleties. In the process of measuring, try to apply the centimeter tape as close to the body as possible. The result must also be converted to inches, that is, divided by 2.5. This will come in handy when shopping. If you can’t decide on a choice during the fitting process, then try to walk around in them a little and squat. After a while, you will definitely understand which jeans you are comfortable in.
