Uk what size. English clothing sizes

Chest girth is determined as follows: the measuring tape is applied to three main points: on the upper border of the side line of the bra, under the armpit and at the most protruding place of the chest. It is important that when moving the tape up or down the bra cup, the size does not increase, but only decreases - in this case, the measurements will be correct. Waist circumference is the minimum length of the tape, that is, as you move up/down, the figure only increases. Not all women's waists are located at the level of the navel; the natural curve may be higher or lower, and your task is to find the smallest size. Hip circumference - the measuring tape is not applied in the middle of the buttocks, but along the most protruding part of them, while in front it should not fall or be too high - the circumference should be parallel to the floor.

All measurements are taken in underwear, in a standing position.

How we measure things

To make it easier to understand the size selection of women's clothing, we offer a breakdown of the size table:

Chest circumference - the distance from one sleeve armhole to another along the bust level. Waist circumference - for shoulder items - the value in centimeters between the extreme points of the item along the waist level, and for waist items - the length between the side points of the upper cut. Hip circumference - the number of centimeters at the level of the maximum volume of the buttocks. Length is a parameter measured from the shoulder so that the line passes through the most protruding part of the chest to the edge of the item. Back - measured from the bottom vertebra of the neck in the middle of the back to the edge of the item. Sleeve length is determined along the outer edge from the shoulder to the very bottom. Shoulder length - determined from the neck seam to the sleeve edge. The length of the inseam is from the crotch of the jeans to the bottom of the seam. The length of skirts and shorts is determined from the top cut to the edge of the product.

Previously, England could hardly be called a trendsetter. They focused on fashion houses in Italy, France and Spain. Over time, everything changed. Nowadays it is difficult to find a person who has not heard of Burberry, Topshop or Paul Smith.

Fashionistas and fashionistas from all over the world are eager to buy elegant English clothes. Usually these are discreet suits, dark raincoats or plaid clothes. The British are famous for their quality and thoroughness, so you need to choose the right UK clothing sizes to carry them for several seasons.

To date, there is no single standard for designating sizes. In Russian production, for outerwear, sizes are set according to height and chest circumference for women, and for men - according to height, chest circumference and waist circumference. For the lower part of clothing, sizes are set for both women and men based on the volume of the hips. The half-circumference in centimeters is your size. Here you can familiarize yourself with tables of clothing sizes from different manufacturers.

Today we will talk about metric and weight markings. European and Russian shoe sizes correspond to each other with a slight amendment. Read more about all the nuances in this article.

European shoe size in Russian, table

All labeling systems shown in the table below are officially recognized.

  • Metric - the length of the foot from the tip of the big toe to the edge of the heel, in centimeters. The value step is 5 mm. Today it is used mostly for children's products.
  • RU (shtikhmass). These are the same designations that we are used to seeing in domestic stores. It is equally often used for both children's and adult models.
  • EU (European Stichmass). The grid is similar to the Russian one, only it is 1 order of magnitude smaller - this is clearly visible in the table below.

The correspondence between shoe sizes in Europe and Russia is shown in the table below.

Not all manufacturers differ in completeness of the model, and few people follow the GOST rules today, so this parameter is not indicated in the tables.

Size chart for women's shoes, European and Russian

The differences from the men's net are only in the number of orders - in the women's there are 1 more - and in the lengths of the feet for which they are intended. And the parameters that determine each position are the same for both men and women. The whole difference is in the pads of the models, but we’re not talking about that today. This is what the shoe size ratio looks like (Europe and Russia) in the “ladies’” version.

European sizes of children's shoes in Russian, table

Everything said at the beginning of the article about the metric and mass calculation systems is also true for children's shoes. Below is a table for children from 0 years to adolescence. It ends at 36 (for a foot 22 cm), but if your child’s foot has outgrown this value, you can safely use the adult scale.

How to determine the correct parameters

The most important thing is to find the length of the foot. This is done like this:

  • Place a sheet of paper on the floor.
  • Place your foot on this sheet and transfer your weight to it. This transfer must be done, because only in this position will the correct measurement be obtained.
  • We mark with dots the top of the big toe and the most protruding part of the heel.
  • We measure the distance between the points.

If you only need a metric measure, then you don’t need to do anything else; we use the results already obtained. And to convert from the metric system to RU (dimensions) you need:

  • The number obtained after measurements is multiplied by 1.5.
  • Add 1.5 to the result. Ready.

These instructions can be applied to both an adult's foot and a child's foot.

What is the difference between European shoe sizes and Russian ones?

The metric system has no differences: in both cases, the unit is the length of the foot in millimeters or centimeters (more often). Step - 0.5 cm. True for the countries indicated and a note that metric values ​​​​are used primarily for children's models.

It is also necessary to clarify that Russian and foreign weights, although calculated according to the same principle, do not coincide 100%. In other respects, this difference is even convenient - the transfer from system to system is elementary. How to determine the European shoe size, knowing Russian: simply add 1 to the first one. In the opposite direction, subtract.

For example: European shoe size 38 is Russian? We add 1 to 38, we get 39 - this is the desired result.

Or again: 42 European size, what kind of Russian (shoes) is this? We add 1 to 42, it turns out 43 - ready, we have completed the translation.

Sometimes deciding on clothing size is very difficult. The fact is that there are many different factors that influence the correct determination of size.

This includes its type, the specific size chart of the country of origin, gender, age, and even the characteristics of a particular brand. If a person decides to order any type of clothing in an online store (for example -), then he should be especially careful about choosing the right size and find an exact match in the Russian system. This is not so easy to do, but we will help you do it!

  • Men's sizes;
  • Type of clothing
  • Age:
    • Children's sizes of different ages
  • Country or region:
    • European sizes
    • US sizes
    • English sizes
    • Russian sizes
  • Special sizing systems for clothing brands

Look! This is useful to know: and their Russian equivalents

In addition to gender, the type of clothing also matters. Don't blindly choose an XL size for pants just because shirts in that size fit your body type. Each type of clothing has its own specific measurement criteria.
Depending on the country where a particular product is produced, its size may differ from the usual size for a resident of another country.

Thus, when determining the size, it is necessary to take into account the following criteria and features:

  • What gender is the product intended for?
  • What age group is it suitable for?
  • What specific type of clothing is measured by this size;
  • In what country are the clothes made?
  • Which local size corresponds to this or that foreign size.
  • Are there any peculiarities in the sizing chart of a particular clothing brand?

Size charts for different countries and regions

Some countries have their own special sizing system. First of all, this diversity is due to which measurement system (metric or English) is used in this country. Depending on the measurement system adopted in the country, clothing sizes vary greatly.

Also, there are unwritten sizing rules for different countries, for example:

  • American sizes are often 1-2 sizes ahead of Russian ones
  • Chinese sizes, on the contrary, are 1-2 sizes behind the Russian system
  • But clothes made in Turkey, as a rule, exactly correspond to Russian ones

The most common dimensional systems that you can often encounter are primarily American, Russian, Japanese, English, Italian, European and Unified International types. For example, clothing measurements for women in Russia start from size 38, in Japan - from 3, in the USA - from 0, in England - from 4, in Europe - from 32, the smallest international size is XXS.

It is very difficult to understand the numerous sizing systems. It will also be difficult to remember how each one fits into its own measurement system. Therefore, in order to facilitate this task, it is convenient to use special correspondence tables.

Sizing system for different types of clothing

Different types of clothing are measured using a special sizing system. And this is quite natural - after all, for different types of clothing you need to take into account different body parameters.

So, to measure women's clothing, the following body data are taken into account:

  1. Chest circumference;
  2. Waist circumference;
  3. Hip girth;
  4. The length of the sleeve.

If to determine a short blouse, the chest and waist circumference, sleeve length data will be sufficient, then for trousers and jeans, measurement data of the waist, hips, and leg length are required.

The following types of clothing most often have their own sizing systems:

  • Men's:
    • men's coats, jackets, sweaters, suits (one size chart)
    • Shirts
    • T-shirts
    • Pants and shorts
    • men's underwear
    • men's socks
  • Women's:
    • sweaters and blouses
    • dresses
    • underwear
    • t-shirts
    • jackets

➡Sometimes on various types of clothing you can find a size mark with two numbers (Russian size), for example, 50 - 52. Typically, this size is characteristic of products that are very elastic and can easily stretch. Depending on how tightly the clothing can fit, it will immediately fit wearers of two similar sizes.

One of them is the division of sizes into four groups in depending on the man's physique.

➡ Useful information: translated into Russian correspondences

  • U-size - sizes for men with a stocky figure; height below 162 cm, chest volume is standard, but the waist may be wider than that of the N-group. Size numbers - 24-38.
  • B-size - sizes for men with a large waist circumference and height above 162 cm. Size numbers - from 51 to 75, odd numbers.

Size confusion in children's clothing

Children's sizes are also ambiguous. Up to 1 year, sizes are determined in accordance with the child’s monthly age. Usually the size is indicated on one product at intervals of 3 months. You can often find marks 0 – 3. This product is intended for both a newborn and a 3-month-old baby. However, it should be noted that in terms of height and weight, a newborn and a 3-month-old baby are quite different from each other.

More specific is the product size for children over 2 years old. On many clothes the height of the child to whom the product corresponds is written. In such cases, it is much easier for the parent to decide.

➡ To summarize, to select the right size for children’s clothing, first of all you need to look at the child’s height

It's easy to buy clothes yourself if you can try them on. For online purchases, you should first of all be guided not by the size marks, but by the indicated centimeters or inches. This way there is the least chance of making a mistake.

Brand sizing charts

Despite the fact that recently the trend towards standardization of sizes has been clearly visible throughout the world, there is still such a thing as clothing brands’ own size charts. What does it mean? This means that many brands develop their own sizes for their clothing, which can be a little confusing when choosing a product. In order to find the correct fit, companies usually post detailed size charts on their websites. And this, in general, is the solution - to try on clothes on their websites. Difficulties can only arise when shopping in online hypermarkets, where there may be no indications about the specific size of each product, but only standard international and regional grids are presented.

For example, here is a table of correspondence between men's sizes for brands Grostyle, Weibberg, Ferrero Gizzi, Perry Meyson, Greg Horman and Primen. (in centimeters)

How to take measurements correctly and select the size - life hacks

  • When it is not possible to accurately determine the size of clothing for yourself, it is better to take the product 1 size larger. In any case, it is always easier to sew in than to embroider
  • It is recommended to take measurements on the most developed side of the body. For right-handers on the right, for left-handers - on the left, respectively.
  • Measurements should be taken in a natural, relaxed body position. This is why it is difficult to take your measurements yourself - it is better to have another person do it.
  • Due to the symmetry of the body, half-girth measurements are often used - primarily neck, waist and chest, back width, chest width.
  • To take more accurate measurements, use several measurements of one part of the body - for example, the first, second and third half-circumference of the chest, the first and second width of the chest.
