How to measure yourself
Measure yourself in your underwear, with a soft tape, standing and relaxed. Get someone to help with your back: a measurement taken alone is almost always too tight.
- NeckAround the base of the neck, where the collar sits. Slide one finger between the tape and your skin.
- ChestAt the fullest point, arms by your sides, tape level across your back.
- WaistAt the narrowest point, above the navel, without pulling. Breathe normally.
- HipsAt the fullest point of the hips, feet together.
- Inside legFrom the crotch to the floor, barefoot, or on a pair of trousers that fits you well.
- Foot lengthStanding, heel against a wall, on a sheet of paper. Use your longer foot.
Between two sizes, take the larger for a jacket or coat, the smaller for knitwear.
Tops
Start with the chest measurement: that is the one that decides.
| Size | Chest | Waist | Neck | French size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 90 – 94 cm | 78 – 82 cm | 37 – 38 | 36 – 38 |
| M | 94 – 100 cm | 82 – 88 cm | 39 – 40 | 40 |
| L | 100 – 106 cm | 88 – 94 cm | 41 – 42 | 42 |
| XL | 106 – 112 cm | 94 – 100 cm | 43 – 44 | 44 – 46 |
| XXL | 112 – 118 cm | 100 – 108 cm | 45 – 46 | 48 – 50 |
| XXXL | 118 – 124 cm | 108 – 116 cm | 47 – 48 | 52 – 54 |
The neck column applies to shirts only. For a jumper worn over a shirt, go up one size.
