Above all, we advise always having a detail-oriented friend to help you carefully take measurements to ensure accuracy. With the measurements, you can check our sizing chart on the item's product page or the image gallery to determine the correct size.
Step 1: Know Your Body Measurements
Before you can begin measuring your pants, it is essential to know your body measurements. Grab a tape measure and measure your waist, hips, and inseam. Your waist measurement should be taken at the narrowest part of your waist, while your hip measurement should be taken at the widest part of your hips. Your inseam measurement is taken from your crotch to the bottom of your ankle. Knowing these measurements will help you determine what size pants you should try on and give you an idea of how different cuts and sizes may fit your body.
Step 2: Measure the Waistband
To measure the waistband of your pants, lay them flat on a surface and use a tape measure to measure straight across from one side of the waistband to the other. Make sure you do not stretch the waistband while you measure it. This measurement will help you determine how tightly the pants will fit around your waist. If you have a specific waist measurement, compare it to the waist measurement of the pants to ensure they will fit comfortably.
Step 3: Measure the Length
Next, you'll want to measure the length of the pants. Start by placing the tape measure at the top of the waistband and measure straight down to the hem of the pants. This measurement will give you an idea of the pants' length to decide if the pants will be too long or too short for your body. If you need more clarification on the length, please consider the style of the pants and how they will be worn. For example, if you plan to wear high heels with pants, choose a longer inseam than you would if you wore flats.
Step 4: Measure the Hips
To measure the hips of the pants, lay them flat on a surface and measure straight across from one side seam to the other side seam at the widest part of the hip area. This measurement will give you an idea of how the pants will fit around your hips. If you have a specific hip measurement, compare it to the hip measurement of the pants to ensure that they will fit comfortably.
Step 5: Compare Your Measurements
Once you've measured the pants' waistband, length, and hips, compare your measurements to our sizing chart on the item's product page or in the image gallery. Remember that different brands may have various sizing charts, so checking our sizing chart for each brand you're interested in purchasing is essential. It's always best to size up for comfort and fit if you're between sizes. With this information, you can confidently shop for pants online and in-store, knowing your measurements and how different styles and cuts may fit your body.
