Many people don’t have a clear idea of whether clothes fit, especially boys, who are less sensitive to the fit of clothes and only know sizes such as S/M/L/XL or 170/175/180.
If you buy clothes in a physical store, you can try them on one by one. If you buy them online, most people buy them in the sizes they usually wear. It’s easy to find things that don’t fit properly. Then the more I bought, the more confused I became, and I had no idea what size would fit me.
It is too one-sided to only look at the size. Each brand has a different style of each piece of clothing, so the size of the clothes will be different, especially items from European and American brands, which are also M size clothes. , items from Asian brands are just right to wear, while items from European and American brands are particularly loose to wear.
We don’t have a very specific definition of “fit”. Some people like it to be tighter and think it fits, and some people like it to be looser and think it’s just right. Today we will not use personal preferences as the basis for selection, but only talk about how to choose based on the fit of the human body structure.
Mastering various body data
Understanding your body shape is the most basic. If you have been with your body for ten or twenty years, you You don’t know how thick your waist is and how long your hands are. Are you ashamed?
We select various types of items based on these data. Examples are given so that everyone can grasp the method clearly and quickly.
Short-sleeved T-shirt
The most important factors for short-sleeved T-shirts are shoulder width, chest circumference, length and arm circumference. For most people the main things to pay attention to are bust size and length.
Take this model as an example. The short-sleeved T-shirt on this model is relatively loose. Let’s take a look at the model’s specific data. The bust is 84cm. His trial size is L. The corresponding bust size corresponding to L size is 106cm. The difference between the bust size and the clothes is 22cm. This is the amount of girth relaxation.
Because the relationship between each part of the clothing and the corresponding parts of the human body is not tightly consistent, but a certain size of gap is maintained to give the human body a certain space for movement. This activity space is the amount of circumference relaxation.
So when buying clothes, it’s not that your bust is exactly 86cm, you just buy based on this data. Choose the appropriate amount of relaxation based on your usual dressing habits. We can see that the amount of relaxation is relatively loose when ≥20cm.
This model is 185cm tall, and has a slim body shape. According to the bust size, if he chooses the smallest size, it will fit better. However, due to his height, if he chooses the smaller size, the clothes may appear. Too long or too short. The length of the clothing he is currently wearing in size L is 2~3cm below the waistband and in the middle of the buttocks, which is the appropriate clothing length. If it is any shorter, it will become a umbilicus leaking garment.
For most people, choosing a short-sleeved T-shirt mainly depends on the bust size, but everyone’s figure has different characteristics. For example, some people have wider shoulders, so when choosing a single product, You should first consider shoulder width. The numerical difference in shoulder width between clothes is generally relatively small, so you must accurately understand your shoulder width data.
For example, if your shoulder width is exactly 43cm, then which size should you choose based on the picture above? It is recommended that you choose L size to allow your shoulders to have room for movement, which means to give your shoulders a certain amount of relaxation.
Let’s analyze a case to enhance our understanding. The model’s bust is 89cm, and the one she is trying on is size L. The bust of size L is 104. The amount of relaxation of this dress is 15cm. This piece If the clothes are a little loose on the upper body, then it can be estimated that when the amount of relaxation is 10~20cm, the upper body will be slimmer or slightly looser. If you like a particularly tight fit, you should choose a piece with a loose fit of ≤10cm.
These data are for your reference. The specific effect should be based on the actual trial effect. Try it a few times to get the slim/fit/loose amount of relaxation you need. By recording the data, you can be more efficient and less error-prone when selecting items.
In addition to considering body data, you also need to consider the style of clothing. Single items such as short-sleeved T-shirts, even solid-color T-shirts, have different designs on the shoulders. The above case They are all explained based on the normal shoulder line design. But if it is a dropped shoulder or a large dropped shoulder, it is easier for most people to choose a dropped shoulder that is two to three centimeters looser than the shoulder. Large dropped shoulders can easily make thin people appear thinner and fat people appear fatter.
Long-sleeved T-shirt
Long-sleeved T-shirt only needs to be based on short-sleeved T-shirt, and then consider the issue of sleeve length. That’s it.
At the same time, when choosing, you should consider whether to wear it inside or outside. The amount of relaxation for inner wear should be small, the cuffs should not be too long, and the best position is from the wrist to the tiger’s mouth. When worn outside, the amount of relaxation is large, and the sleeves are basically made longer, which has a stacking effect on the wrist.
There is generally no arm length data in the model picture information, so you need to infer this based on the model’s height and the length of the item’s clothing and sleeves. Of course, the first thing to consider is the bust and shoulder width, and then the length of the dress. The length of the dress should be long rather than short. If it is too long, it can be tucked into the waistband of the trousers, and the cuffs can also be rolled up.

Shirts are available in long-sleeved and short-sleeved styles, formal and casual. The selection method for casual shirts is the same as above. Formal shirts, on the other hand, are more particular and will be more precise in their required fit.
For the fitting standards of formal shirts, please refer to the picture above. For specific articles, please refer to my Junior Guide to Boys’ Business Shirts I Basic Style! I won’t repeat it here!
Sweaters/sweatshirts
Sweaters/sweatshirts are generally worn as a mid-layer, with a T-shirt/shirt underneath and a jacket outside. Consider the thickness of the sweater/sweatshirt. When choosing a sweater/sweatshirt, you need to add a few centimeters of relaxation based on your well-fitting inner wear, so that the sweater/sweatshirt you choose can fit you better.
Outerwear
Compared with the inner layer, the outer layer should be more relaxed. The outer layer of the item needs to be looser so that it can be accommodated inside. More inner wear. Therefore, if you usually buy M size for inner wear, the jacket cannot be the same size as the inner wear. You may choose L/XL size. We have also mentioned this in the previous layering skills.
What you need to pay special attention to is the length of the coat. The length of a short coat is best to be a few centimeters longer/shorter than the inner layer, so that when wearing it, you can create a short inside and long outside/long inside and outside. Short layers.
Be very careful about the length of mid-length and long coats. Short boys should try not to wear long coats. They can completely control it by choosing mid-length coats above the knee.
In my online shopping skills, I have taught you how to choose the length of a coat by looking at the model’s picture. Based on the model’s height and position, you can roughly guess what length it will be on you. Of course, if you want to be more precise, you also need to consider the changes in clothing length for different sizes.
For a mid-length coat, a 180cm model is wearing size L, which should be worn just above the knees. If I am 170cm tall, size S will fit me based on my bust and shoulder width. The length of size L is 106cm, and the length of size S is 102cm. The difference in length is 4cm. Then the approximate position I wear may be a little lower. If this jacket does not reach the length that I think is more suitable, I should buy it with caution.
Through the above, it is not difficult to slowly find the most suitable clothes for you through various comparisons and speculations based on various body data and your own existing clothes. When shopping online, you can also reduce unnecessary troubles such as returns and exchanges.
