Why is the right clothing size important?

Choosing the right size is not just a question of comfort, but also of style. Clothes that fit well will make you feel confident and show off your outfit perfectly. Plus, knowing your size will help you avoid returns and make your shopping experience less stressful.

What do I need to determine my clothing size?

To determine your clothing size accurately, you only need a few basic tools and a little time. You should have the following ready:

1. A tape measure

   A flexible tape measure is the most important tool for taking your body measurements accurately. It should fit snugly but not cut in. Alternatively, you can use a piece of string and measure the length later with a ruler.

2. A mirror (optional)

   A full-length mirror will help you place the tape measure correctly, especially in hard-to-reach areas such as the back.

3. Tight clothing or underwear

   Wear tight-fitting clothing or underwear to avoid distorting measurements. Loose clothing may produce inaccurate results.

4. support (optional)

   If possible, get another person to help you. This way, measurements such as your chest circumference can be taken more accurately.

How and where do I measure my measurements correctly?

Once you have prepared everything, it's time to measure! Here are step-by-step instructions on which areas of your body you should measure and exactly how to do it. Use the feature image above as a guide.

1. head circumference (for hats and caps)

   Measure the circumference of your head at the widest point, about 1 cm above the ears. Make sure that the measuring tape is horizontal and not too tight.

2. chest circumference

   Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest. The measuring tape should be parallel to the floor and should fit loosely without cutting in. Breathe normally to get a realistic result.

3. waist circumference

   Find the narrowest part of your waist (around belly button level) and place the measuring tape horizontally around your body. Make sure you don't suck in your stomach.

4. hip circumference

   Measure the circumference of your hips at the widest point, usually above your buttocks. Make sure that the measuring tape is straight and horizontal. Stand as relaxed as possible without pulling in or tilting your hips.

5. inseam (for pants and leggings)

   Measure the length from the inside of your leg to your ankle. To do this, place the tape measure on the inside of your leg, starting at the crotch, and bring it down to the floor or to the desired pant length.

6. arm length (optional)

   To find the right length for jackets or long-sleeved tops, measure from the shoulder joint to the wrist, keeping the arm slightly bent to allow for natural movement.
