The most popular phrase in all clothing and shoe stores is the question: “What size are you?” And here, very often, pitfalls are hidden, since instead of the usual “48”, the tag may say size 6, 8, 10, 12 and so on. Even those who perfectly know their parameters can fall into a stupor and be puzzled, not to mention those who purchase clothes on the Internet or as a gift for someone. In order to avoid getting into such a situation, you just need to familiarize yourself with the labeling of different countries in advance.

How can the size be indicated?

At least once a year you need to update something in your wardrobe. How not to get confused? There are several types of clothing parameter markings:

International standard;

Russian labeling;

European sizes;

American designation.

As a rule, several options are indicated on the tags, but sometimes there is only one. The International Standard uses a letter designation. European and Russian ratios of parameters are indicated using numbers, and are the most used in our country and the most familiar to buyers.

The most difficult thing to understand is overseas markings: what is American size 6? In fact, one of the most popular is 44. By the way, the British also use the same system, so you can find the following inscriptions: UK 6, UK 8, UK 10. The only difference is in the letters, the parameters are the same. By the way, clothes for adults are indicated only with even numbers, and odd numbers are used for children's and teenage items.

How to determine

If you know approximately your parameters, then it will not be difficult for you to decide on the size. They depend on three indicators:

chest girth;

waist circumference;

hip volume.

Nothing complicated, but if you measure yourself with a tape measure, you are unlikely to correctly determine size 6. The problem is that the Stars and Stripes don't use metric system, they use inches. It’s easy to imagine the consequences of such a mistake if you don’t know this nuance. And yet, what is size 6 US in Russian? This is a standard clothing parameter - 44.

How not to make mistakes when buying

If you buy clothes at a market or in a store, then there should be no problems with translation, since every seller or consultant always has a table at hand, where everything is clearly written out on a piece of paper.

And you can always try on what you have chosen and see if the thing fits. What if you make a purchase online?

At first, it’s quite difficult to navigate someone else’s markings. In order to be sure that you buy exactly 6 sizes of clothes, and they will exactly fit your figure, follow the following simple rules.

As mentioned above, it is necessary to take into account the circumference of the waist and chest, and the volume of the hips. This is the main detail you need to pay attention to.

Translated into domestic units of measurement, size 4 is the smallest, 14 is the largest. Accordingly, Russian size 6 is somewhere in the middle, closer to a slimmer figure.

Be sure to pay attention to whether this product is small. Based on this information, you will be able to understand whether you should definitely take size 6 US, or whether you need a slightly larger one.

Of course, there is a difference between women's and men's clothing. IN Lately girls quite often purchase wardrobe items for themselves strong half humanity, which look quite sexy on a slender body and, often, well emphasize femininity. If you are one of these young ladies, remember that a women's US size 6 will be much smaller than a similar men's size.

Use tables that indicate all the ratio formats of your body parameters that are needed to choose clothes. US size 6 clothing will be marked US.

Also, it's worth Please note that the numbers in the table may not always correspond to reality. For example, there may not be a need for chest to hip ratio. What to do in this case? Everything is very simple: you focus on the parameter that is more important for a given thing. For example, when buying a blouse, consider the volume of the chest, and when buying trousers, consider the volume of the hips.

Online shopping

It is not always enough to know what Russian size is 6. When purchasing clothes on the Internet, you need to be several times more careful, and be prepared that not always, what is shown in the picture will correspond to reality. Very often, clothes on Aliexpress in size 6 may actually be a little larger than they should be. But this should not be considered a defect; American manufacturers often make their products with slightly larger parameters. Especially if these are items from fairly inexpensive brands.

There is one more detail that is worth paying attention to: the labels may contain the letters “P” and “L”, small and long, respectively, since very often the parameters do not match the height.

In order not to be disappointed in the purchase, carefully study every nuance, i.e. all mm of your body and written on the label. If you pay due attention to all the details, then your shopping experience will truly bring not only benefits, but also pleasure.
