How to choose the size of a men's shirt. European sizes of men's shirts

An integral element of a man's wardrobe is a shirt, which helps to create and emphasize the style and image of a man. Shirts can be worn both in everyday life and for important meetings. Undoubtedly, in the wardrobe of every man there are several shirts that have a different style, color, style, material. Such clothes are considered multifunctional and suitable for all occasions.

The most important rule when choosing a shirt is that it should fit perfectly on a man. Therefore, in order not to be mistaken with the size, style and make the right choice, you should know how to correctly determine the size of the shirt.

Types of men's shirts

There are several types of men's shirts, but the most common is the classic and sporty style.

Classic shirt- multifunctional, it gives formality and elegance, it can be worn with or without a tie, under a sweater or jacket. This type of shirt is suitable for men with any figure and height. The choice of color and material depends on the taste of the man.

sporty shirt look- differs from the classical style in that such clothes are made from dense and coarse materials, including jeans. Such shirts can have various patterns, decorative fasteners, metal buttons, and many pockets. They can be worn under jeans, shorts, non-classic pants. In addition, such shirts should not be tucked into pants, the main thing is that it fits well in size.

Rules for taking measurements

But how to determine the size of a men's shirt by the collar? This is pretty easy to do. You will need a tailor's meter, with which you need to take only two measurements: the volume of the neck and the length of the sleeve. The girth of the neck must be measured at the very base, where the most voluminous part is located. It is important that the tailor's meter does not squeeze the neck too much. Also, there should not be a very large distance between it and the neck. Otherwise, the chosen shirt may turn out to be very tight or, conversely, too loose.

To measure the sleeve, it is better to use outside help. To do this correctly, the man who is being measured must stand up straight with his arms down along his torso. The tailor's meter is applied in the middle of the neck. The measuring tape should go down the shoulder, across the elbow to the wrist. The resulting distance in centimeters is the sleeve length, that is, the second value in the shirt size. These two measurements are quite enough for the collar size chart to help you choose a new thing. These data already take into account both the growth and fullness of a person.

Size chart for men's shirts

Dimensional grids adopted in different countries sometimes differ both from each other and from the numbering system that is used in our country. Because of this, the exact determination of parameters is often difficult. But nothing is impossible, and in this case, the first step is to calculate the usual Russian size.

To do this, we compare the number obtained as a result of taking measurements with the shirt size table and determine the appropriate one. For example, the neck circumference is 39 cm, then a product made in our country should be bought with the marking "40" or even "41" (39 + 1 or 39 + 2).

your size shirts	Girth neck (cm)	Russian size clothes	Europe EUR/GER/FR	USA England	Letter International
36	36	44	36	14	XS
37	37	46-48	37	14,5	S
38	38	46-48	38	15	S
39	39	48-50	39	15,5	M
40	40	48-50	40	15,5	M
41	41	50-52	41	16	L
42	42	50-52	42	16,5	L
43	43	54-56	43	17	XL
44	44	54-56	44	17,5	XL
45	45	56-58	45	17,5	XXL
46	46	56-58	46	18	XXL

The shirt size for men when shopping in European boutiques or online stores is determined in the same way as the domestic one, and completely coincides with it.

If the model you like is made in the USA, then most likely its size is indicated in inches and to find out, you need to divide the result of measuring the neck circumference by 2.54 and add 0.5-1. Let's say 39 / 2.54 = 15, then US size 15.5 or 16 will be considered suitable.

On shirts of domestic brands, a standard size is often indicated, the basis for which is the measurement of chest girth. In our example, according to the table of sizes for men's shirts, with a neck girth of 40 cm on the label, you need to look for the marking "48-50". Sometimes on Russian models you can also find the designation of growth.

Another way of numbering shirts, international, is the letter designation of sizes (S, M, L). Making a choice in this case is the most difficult thing, because no formulas are applicable here, however, using the correspondence table, you can easily find that with a neck circumference of 40 cm, the product should have the inscription "M".

What to look for when choosing a shirt

In order to choose the right men's shirt, you need to pay attention to the following points:

When buying a shirt, you need to try it on, otherwise there is a high probability of making a mistake. Below are common and standard shirt sizes that can be selected, knowing the size of the chest, neck, waist, and height of a man.

How do you make sure a shirt fits well?

Considering the individual physique of each man, how the shirt fits is equally important. To do this, you need to pay attention to the following points:

• Sleeves should be long enough to cover the wrist. Therefore, you need to bend your arm, the cuffs should not squeeze your wrist or ride up.

The shirt cuff should be tight, but not press on the wrist or hang over the arm, even when the button is split.

The shirt should not be tight around the chest and waist. Unless it's a sporty shirt style.

The shirt should not slip out of the pants. Raise your hands to check.

Between the neck and the collar should be free, so that 2 fingers fit.

Men's shirt, shirt: how to choose the right one

Soft cotton is considered the best material for the production of men's shirts. It perfectly passes air, allowing the body to "breathe", and is pleasant to the touch, however, it is quite wrinkled. The way out is to buy a product of the same cotton, but with a small addition of synthetics. This shirt is easy to iron, washable, does not wrinkle and will last much longer. In addition, stains and stains from sweat or drops of rain or water that have fallen on the product are almost invisible on it. Knitted shirts were invented for long trips, you don’t even have to iron them, but in the warm season they will be hot, and they lose their shape after several washes.

Teenagers are suitable for men's shirts in small sizes, starting from 37 at the collar. Men's dimensional mesh of suit shirts is different from children's. Firstly, for each width of the gate there are several sizes for growth. Secondly, the classic and fitted cut of shirts differs.

This dimensional grid for men's shirts is accepted in Russia and Europe. The size of the shirt corresponds to the width of the collar in centimeters. Height is also in centimeters.

The size of a men's shirt has two parameters: neck circumference (size) and height. Thus, the size 37 shirt collar actually corresponds to three shirt sizes:

R.37 for height 164-170,

R.37 for height 170-176,

R. 37 for height 176-182.

Dimensional grid for gate 41 and no longer given.

You can often find international letter, American, English numbering of sizes. For convenience, we provide a table of correspondence between the sizes of suit shirts in Europe, Russia, shirt sizes in the USA, England, the international letter size grid and Russian clothing sizes, including for non-suit shirts.

Size Europe, Russia corresponds to the width of the collar in centimeters and is measured by the girth of the neck and an increase of 1.5-2 cm for freedom of movement.

The US, England size corresponds to the width of the collar in inches (“in” in the English abbreviation) and is measured by the girth of the neck in inches plus 3/4-1 inch for freedom of movement (1 inch = 2.54 cm).

The Russian clothing size corresponds to the half-girth of the hips in centimeters.

Size charts for branded shirts for boys

How the parameters of the dimensional grid are measured Height - neck circumference - chest circumference.

Measure the circumference of the chest, waist and hips strictly horizontally. The bust circumference is measured at the high point of the bust. Waist circumference is measured at the level of the narrowest part of the waist. The circumference of the hips is measured at the level of the highest part of the buttocks, allowing a slight deviation from the horizontal to cover the widest part of the hips. If you need to measure the half-girth of the chest, waist, hips, then always measure the girth first, then divide its value by two.

When choosing shirts and shirts, men often miss many nuances, depriving themselves of the pleasure of looking elegant. It is possible that the difficult choice of the required size is due to the fact that many men pay attention to only one parameter, and as it turned out, there are many more of them.

To choose the right size for a men's shirt, you need to focus not only on the chest circumference, but also on the neck circumference, height and sleeve length.

How to determine the size of a man's shirt?

As it turned out, choosing the perfect shirt is not so easy. Before you go to the store or place an order on the Internet, you need to make a lot of measurements. To do this, take a measuring tape and, preferably, a partner or partner who will help you take measurements.

To determine your bust shirt size, measure your chest circumference and then divide the result by 2. The final figure will be your size. For example, if the chest circumference is 100 centimeters, your Russian clothing size is 50th. In addition, each size has a “fork”, that is, both the 50th and 52nd sizes can suit you.

Different sizing brands certainly don't make the choice easy either. Many are faced with international sizes, European sizes, a dimensional grid of a certain European country, Asian sizes, and so on. How do you figure out your shirt size?

International clothing sizes are usually denoted by the letters: S (small), M (medium), L (large) and the additional letter X (additional). In order to "translate" the international size into the usual Russian one, use our table.

When ordering a shirt from an American online store, please note that sizes in the United States are usually indicated in inches. To convert US size to Russian, simply multiply the number by 2.5.

How to determine the size of a shirt by the collar

Some brands in their dimensional grid of shirts indicate only one parameter - neck circumference in centimeters. Sometimes this indicator can even be the size itself.

To determine the size of the shirt collar, measure the circumference of your neck with a centimeter, and then add a couple of centimeters to the result, so that later the collar of the new shirt does not press or rub. So, if the neck circumference is 38 centimeters, then the collar size of your shirt will be 39-40 centimeters.

Important: when the shirt is fully buttoned, between the neck and the collar there should be a distance equal to the thickness of one finger, no more. If this rule is neglected, then when tightening the tie, the shape of the collar may change, and this, in turn, will negatively affect your appearance.

In order to choose the right shirt size, do not be too lazy to take a couple of ties with you to the store. This will allow you not only to successfully choose the color, but also determine the size.

For a more accurate result, get someone to help you. If you measure yourself, the measurements will be incorrect due to incorrect body position. You must stand upright.

How to measure a shirt at the shoulders: stand straight and loose (without bending or straightening your shoulders). After that, your "partner" needs to measure the distance from one shoulder to the other. You can also take your old shirt or T-shirt that fits you perfectly and measure the distance between the shoulder seams.

The wrong length of the sleeves can pretty spoil the overall look. Therefore, we advise you to pay special attention to the sleeves when buying a shirt.

How to choose the size of a men's shirt by sleeves:

1. Bend your hand.
2. Measure the length of your arm from shoulder to wrist.

Determining the size of a men's shirt by height: Your shirt should be of the optimal length so that it can be tucked into jeans or trousers, but at the same time it does not jump out with any careless movement.

There are many shirts in every man's wardrobe. Contrary to the stereotypical opinion, they differ from each other not only in coloring. Shirts are made from different fabrics. They can have a different cut, which depends on their style and the figure of the man. For the owner of a slim figure who is looking for a shirt for a business suit, fitted models are recommended. Leisure models have a looser fit.

To purchase a shirt of the required size, it is absolutely not necessary to go to the store yourself and try on the ones you like. There is a table on the collar, according to which you can easily choose the right size.

How to determine the size by two measurements

To choose a new thing, you need to understand what a collar shirt size table is and what values ​​\u200b\u200bare indicated in it.

The shirt size is usually marked with two numeric values, which are indicated through a slash. The first number is the volume of the neck, the second is the length of the sleeve. Both values ​​can be in centimeters or inches.

Rules for taking measurements

But how to determine the gate? This is pretty easy to do. You will need a tailor's meter, with which you need to take only two measurements: the volume of the neck and the length of the sleeve.

The girth of the neck must be measured at the very base, where the most voluminous part is located. It is important that the tailor's meter does not squeeze the neck too much. Also, there should not be a very large distance between it and the neck. Otherwise, the chosen shirt may turn out to be very tight or, conversely, too loose.

To measure the sleeve, it is better to use outside help. To do this correctly, the man who is being measured must stand up straight with his arms down along his torso. The tailor's meter is applied in the middle of the neck. The measuring tape should go down the shoulder, across the elbow to the wrist. The resulting distance in centimeters is the sleeve length, that is, the second value in the shirt size.

These two measurements are quite enough for the collar size chart to help you choose a new thing. These data already take into account both the growth and fullness of a person.

Why measurements are needed

There are different sizing systems in different countries around the world. In order for, for example, the English table of shirt sizes to be understandable to a Russian person, size comparison tables were invented. Knowing the neck circumference and sleeve length will always help determine the right one.

It happens that on a shirt instead of a digital size, an alphabetic one is indicated: S, M, L, XL. For some reason it is impossible to try on a shirt, but this is not a reason to refuse a purchase. You just need to know what digital parameters are hidden in these letters.

Size S implies that the volume of the neck is 37-38 centimeters, and the sleeve has a length of 81-84 centimeters. Large men's shirts come in sizes from XL. So, for example, it is intended for a man with a neck circumference of 45-46 centimeters and a sleeve length of up to 92 centimeters.

You can also determine the necessary knowing Russian. Owners of size 46 will fit 48 means M, European L is 50 according to the Russian size system, and XL is 52.

Thus, knowing only a few simple parameters, you can always choose the right shirt size.

When trying on, be sure to pay attention to the following details.

gate

The collar of the shirt is framing. If it is chosen unsuccessfully, it will break the whole image. If the collar is too tight, it will compress the neck and cause discomfort. Too loose collar (when four fingers are placed between the neck and collar) also looks bad. The ideal option is when two fingers fit freely between the collar and neck.

Shoulder seam

If the shoulder seam is too high, then the shirt is too small for you. If it hangs too low, then the shirt is too big. Ideally, the shoulder seam should be located where the arm meets the shoulder joint to allow for freedom of movement.

Landing

If the fabric on the chest is very stretched, then the shirt is small for you. If the tucked-in edges of the shirt hang over the belt or the shirt looks baggy, then it's too big for you. Look for a smaller size or another brand. An ideal shirt should taper towards the middle, repeating the outlines of the figure.

Sleeve width

Sleeves should not be too tight, otherwise they will restrict freedom of movement. Too loose sleeves, the fabric of which hangs down, is also an unsuitable option. The sleeves of the ideal width fit close enough to the arm, while no more than 2.5-5 centimeters of fabric remain free.

cuffs

If the cuffs are very tight around the wrists, the shirt is too small for you. If the arm passes freely through the buttoned cuffs, the shirt is large. In both cases, you can change the button, but first try on a shirt in a different size. If you normally wear watches, find the perfect cuffs for them.

Sleeve length

If the sleeves end above the knuckle of the wrist, they are too short for you. Try on shirts from other brands. If the sleeves partially cover the palm, they will have to be shortened. Ideal sleeves cover only the wrist.

Hem length

If the shirt barely covers the belt, it is short for you. If the hem also covers the fly, then it is long, try on a smaller size. Ideally, the hem should end a few inches below the belt so that the shirt won't come out when you raise your arms.

Just remember that no ready-made shirt from the store can fit perfectly. For her to sit, you have to take her to the studio.
