When you are shopping clothes in the shops offline, you can simply try it on to check whether it fits. However, when you purchase clothes in these online shops, the number on the tag means nothing without knowing your true measurements. Finding clothes online that actually fit your shape starts with accurately measuring your unique proportions. But many of us guess at clothing sizes or rely on outdated metrics leading to poorly fitting fashion frustration.

In this post, we'll walk through a simple at-home process for measuring your body properly. With a soft tape, a helper, and our guide to recording each dimension precisely, you'll unlock your complete clothing size numbers. Read on to learn how to capture your true size and dimensions for a tailored wardrobe that hugs you in all the right places.

 

 

Start by Suiting Up for An Accurate Measurement

To get accurate body measurements, remove bulky outer layers and only wear fitted underwear. Choose underwear that is form-fitting but not overly tight or compressive. Loose-fitting or stretched out underwear could impact the accuracy of your measurements.

Remain relaxed and naturally posed as you measure yourself. The goal is to get an honest assessment of your body shape and size proportions. Focus on how your frame and musculature are proportioned, rather than any particular muscles being flexed.

Arm yourself with a flexible cloth or plastic measuring tape, not rigid metal that can bend awkwardly. Work with an assistant to document your objective size rather than reaching around yourself. And stand in a neutral position without flexing, inhaling deeply, or arching your back. Measurements should represent your relaxed posture.

Take each measurement snugly without pinching skin and round to the nearest half inch. Double check a couple times to average for the most precise value. With the right simple preparation, you'll be ready to capture your body size.

 

 

Chest, Shoulder, Sleeves - Key Upper Body Measurements

When measuring your upper half, be sure to capture:

• Chest - Wrap the tape under your arms around the fullest part of your chest.
• Shoulders - Measure from edge to edge of each shoulder across your upper back.
• Sleeves- To measure your sleeve length, place the measuring tape from the center of your neck along the inside seam of your arm straight down to your wrist bone with your arm relaxed by your side.

Tracking these four torso dimensions will give you an accurate starting point for selecting tops, including shirts, Polos, sweaters, jackets, jackets and more.

Hips, Outside leg, Waist - Essential Lower Body Sizing

Turning to your lower half, these key measurements are needed:

• Hips - Measure around the widest part of your hips and rear.
• Outside leg - To measure your outside leg length, have someone measure from your crotch down the outside of your leg to the floor while standing up straight with closed feet.
• Waist- To measure your waist, find the narrowest part of your abdomen, usually around the belly button, wrap a measuring tape securely around that part without restricting breathing, and record the measurement where the tape meets without slack.

Understanding your own measurements enables you to choose the correctly sized clothing.

 

 

Using Your Measurements for online shopping

Armed with all of your unique size metrics, you can now easily find clothes that fit your frame. Use your measurements to find your optimal size on most clothing brands' sizing charts for each garment type. Here are some tips for using your measurements when shopping for clothes online:

• Check size charts - Most online clothing retailers provide detailed size charts that list the actual garment measurements (length, bust, waist, etc) for each size of that item. Compare these measurements against your own to determine what size should fit best. If you are ordering from Coofandy's official website, you can always refer to our size chart below.
