Men's sizes: how can I find the right size for me?
We all know that finding the right size for men's underwear, shirts, or pajama pants isn't easy. Should it be an M or an L? An XL or an XXL? These questions apply whether it's the man buying or the woman wanting to buy him a gift. That's why we've created a simple guide for both women and men to help you easily find the right size for men's clothing: briefs, boxer shorts, shirts, or pajama pants.
Who knows how many times you've searched for a specific product guide or a size guide, but without the desired results. Don't despair! We know that finding the right size for products such as briefs, boxers, men's T-shirts, pants, or pajamas is not easy. Sizes can vary depending on the brand, which creates confusion. What's more, the search becomes even more difficult when ordering online: the size chart that is supposed to serve as a guide is not always easy to read, and sizes are often expressed differently: on some websites with S, M, L, XL, XXL, on others with numbers 4, 5, etc.
How to choose the right size for briefs, boxers, and other men's clothing?
In this guide to sizes for men's underwear, knitwear, and pajamas, you will find all the measurements you need to consider depending on the item of clothing you are interested in: boxers and briefs, sweaters, T-shirts, and pajama pants. All you have to do is discover them with us, point by point. Let's get started!
Briefs and boxers: how to take measurements
If you want to be sure you are buying the right size of men's briefs or boxers, measure your waist and hips. The waist, or the circumference between the hips and the ribs, is the narrowest point and should be measured while standing upright with your abdomen relaxed and breathing normally. To correctly measure the hip circumference, measure the widest point while standing, at the height of the buttocks, keeping the tape measure horizontal.
What are the right sizes for sweaters and T-shirts?
To choose the right size for a men's sweater or T-shirt, you need to know your chest and waist measurements. Take a tape measure and wrap it around the fullest part of your chest, then measure the circumference of your waist around the narrowest part of your back. Alternatively, if you are shopping with someone else, you can check the size by placing the sweater/T-shirt on his back and checking that the shoulder edges fall perfectly in the same place as the one he is wearing.
Beyond underwear: the right sizes for men's pants
For men's pants sizes, you can use the same measurements taken for underwear as a guide; therefore, as with briefs and boxers, you need to take your waist and hip measurements. Remember that the waist is measured at the narrowest point of the ribs while standing upright and relaxed, breathing normally; while the hips are measured by taking the circumference of the widest point of the buttocks, keeping the tape measure horizontal.
What about men's pajama sizes? Here's how to choose them
Men's pajamas are a complete garment consisting of a top and bottoms. Therefore, to be sure you choose the right size, you need to consider several measurements: specifically, chest, waist, and hips. Since we've already discussed this in the men's underwear section, you should already have a clear guide on how to measure your waist and hips. For the chest, you need to place the tape measure just above the chest and under the armpits. Make sure your body is upright, with your arms relaxed at your sides and your palms facing your thighs.
