Underwear is one of the most important parts of clothing we wear, even though it's not visible. It can lift your mood and confidence, ensuring a feeling of comfort and ease. To make this piece of clothing flattering and comfortable, it's important not to underestimate its selection. The key to success is determining the suitable cut and material, but now let's look at how to measure correctly, as this is the absolute foundation when choosing underwear. If you're looking for a guide on how to choose the right bra size, click here.
Fitted clothing/underwear that does not compress or shape the body
Chest circumference
This measurement is taken at the widest part of the chest - for men, usually measured under the armpits and for women across the nipples. When taking the measurement, stand straight, relaxed, and hold the tape horizontally. It's better to check this in the mirror or ask someone else for help. For women, this measurement, along with the underbust measurement, helps when choosing the right bra.
Waist circumference
This circumference is measured at the narrowest part of the body. It is usually located just above the navel. Women generally have a more clearly defined waist than men, which is an advantage. Another guide is that the waist is roughly halfway between the top of the hip bone and the bottom rib. Measure the waist during a calm exhale without pulling in the stomach.
Tip for you: Measured sizes may vary at different parts of the cycle, for example, due to water retention during premenstrual syndrome. Therefore, it is ideal to measure in the first half of the cycle.
Hip circumference
Run the tailor's tape measure over the widest part of the buttocks and hips. Again, be careful not to hold the tape at an angle. When measuring, keep your legs together and stand straight with weight evenly distributed on both feet. The tape should fit snugly against the body at each measurement but should definitely not constrict. For accuracy, measure twice to ensure the measurements are correct.
Height
When measuring your height, you'll definitely appreciate the help of another person. Measure without shoes, standing naturally straight against the wall, with feet slightly apart (10 to 15 cm) and head held upright. Make a mark at the top of your head and then measure the distance from the floor to the mark with a tailor's tape measure or any other available.
Foot length
Even now, it's beneficial to have someone assist you with the measurement - take a clean sheet of paper, place it on the floor with the shorter side directly against the wall, and stand on it so that your heel is touching the wall. Then make a mark in front of your big toe. It's important that the foot is evenly weighted. This is best achieved standing and having the marking done by another person.
