The current level of development of the market economy in Russia has made it possible to strengthen international economic ties with other countries. Today, a huge number of various consumer goods, including fashion branded clothing, are imported into our country. However, the pleasure of shopping for many is overshadowed by the inability to find the right thing for themselves.
The fact is that not all of our fellow citizens have yet mastered the definition of the parameters for matching each other with the sizes of clothing produced in different countries. And there really is something to understand. Not only does the seemingly same size have its own parameters in each country (adapted for the local population), but also the names of the sizes themselves are different. For example, Russian 42 is approximately 34-36 German size (depending on the model and material of each particular item). To clearly determine which sizes are right for you, you need to have at least a general idea of \u200b\u200ball existing sizes.
Dimensional grid for clothes in each country has its own. In order to choose the right size for men's or women's clothing of a foreign brand, each person needs to know their type.figures and individual parameters, determined by elementary measurement with a centimeter. When determining the sizes of branded clothing from different countries, it is easiest to start from international standards that have a letter designation - XS, M, S, L, XL, etc. The smallest size for adults is the XS size marked with international letters. Based on the parameters of the figure and follow the measurements, then the size XS corresponds to the Russian size 40 and sometimes 42 (depending on the characteristics of each particular clothing brand). For an accurate definition, you should use special correspondence tables, for example, this one:
Characteristics of Russian and international sizes for women
International standard |
XS | S | M | L | XL | XXL |
Russian size |
40 to 42 | 44 | 46 to 48 | 50 | 52 to 54 | 56 |
Chest (in cm) | 81-85 | 86-92 | 91-95 | 96-102 | 103-109 | 110-114 |
Waist (in cm) | 61-65 | 66-70 | 70-75 | 78- 83 | 84-90 | 92-97 |
Hips (in cm) | 88-93 | 93-98 | 97-103 | 104-109 | 110-115 | 116-122 |
It is known that the male and female figures are very different, so the parameters of these sizes will be absolutely unacceptable for men. This means that according to the parameters that the women's XS size corresponds to, you should not judge what the men's XS size should be. If you ignore this rule, then you may be able to determine, in this way, only the size of unisex T-shirts made from viscose, but even here no one will guarantee that you will not be mistaken. Cotton T-shirts do not stretch as well as viscose. To determine the size of men's and women's t-shirts, you should also follow the general standards for sizing. In order to determine which modern Russian size the international men's XS size will correspond to, you need, as in the case of women's sizes, to use a special table:
Characteristics of Russian and international sizes of men's clothing
(for men of average build)
International standard |
XS | S | M | L | XL | XXL |
Russian size |
42 | 44 to 46 | 48 | 50 to 52 | 54 | 56 |
Chest (in cm) | 83-86 | 87-92 | 95-98 | 100-105 | 106-110 | 110-114 |
Waist (in cm) | 72-76 | 75-80 | 80-85 | 85-93 | 93-96 | 95-102 |
Height (in cm) | 163-168 | 168-172 | 172-176 | 176-180 | 180-185 | 183-190 |
It's quite simple! The main thing is to follow the recommendations!
