Proper Fitting Clothes | Knowing Your Body Measurements | Fit Guide

EDIT: Audio is muted in the non talking portions of the video since YT flagged the bg music. All the steps are still displayed and is audible.

It's important to have proper fitting clothes. Here's a quick video I made on how I measure my body for the proper fit. This sizing guide will help with you figure out your body measurements, that way you will always find the right size when it comes to most basic clothing you find at any retailer (H&M, UNIQLO, J. Crew, etc.).

Measurements should be taken directly on your body:
Chest - Measure over the fullest part of your chest.
Arms - Measure from the top of your shoulder down to your wrist.
Waist - Measure at the most narrow part of the waist.
Hips - Measure around the fullest part of your hip.
Legs - Measure from the inseam region which is from your crotch to your ankle.

Focusing on these 5 areas will help you find your correct size at most retailers.

Meraki is a Greek word often use to describe what happens when you leave a piece of yourself (your soul, creativity, or love) in your work.

Right now the channel focuses mainly on fashion, style tips, with clothing and sneaker reviews. More diverse content is planned for the future as well.

the sound makes me feel like this is going to be a psychological horror film

Chest measurement: make sure you're breathing normally, and taking the measurement at the biggest point in your breath cycle. (lung volume changes chest size)

Hips: feet should be together, having feet apart will make an artificially large hip measurement

This feels like a relaxing video for anxiety.

Nice, its very important to know that when buying clothes

[benchatterton]

Thank you - ive measured myself before, I used these mearements, ill have to do it again though.
I seem 2 be 2xl but somtimes there 2 big, sometimes xl fits bet then I have grown abit becouse of training.
I wish clothes came in standard sizes instead of different brands having there version of of whatever size phhh!

[haasgrover]

Thanks buddy this helps a lot genuinely. 😊 👍

What I find confusing is that us guys have 3 different measurements when it comes to buying pants:

1 - waist (typically measured from ~ belly button - mine is 74cm or 29")

2 - hips (widest point lower than your belly button/pelvis - mine is 82cm or 32")

3 - backside/ass circumference (peak/fullest point - mine is 92cm or 36")

When ordering, it's sorted by 'waist size' but your pants sit on your 'hip measurement' rather than waist. I'm always like, which measurement do I stick to before buying online?

Loved the concept and the content, keep it up! 👌

So informative! It seems silly in hindsight, but I was surprised that this is *exactly* the same as taking measurements on women.

PS: I wanted to say something #thirsty about helping with your inseam (lol, too late), but I respect your work!

I always have to return clothes when buying online so annoying it's a size issue
Maybe I was measuring incorrectly

What measurements do you need to make when buying a hoodie for example? Thanks👍

[nightwolfyt]

It would've been useful to read out your measurements to get an idea .. I have a body similar to yours

[manuelvallet]

Helpful but how do I measure the bust and outwear lenght?

[sherx]

Is it really helpful to measure clothes I already own, and then compare the measurements to a size chart of the same type of clothes I'm going to buy online?

[Capronice]

where is the top of your shoulder? That is why I was watching this video.

[rizl_ini]

Generally my waist is smaller(26.5 inch) than my hip(around the hip bones 28 inch)
If i want to buy a jean, should i follow the waist size?

When you say from your top shoulder do you mean where your neck meets your shoulder ?? Or right at top of your armpit ?
