How To Measure Pant Size For Men

How to Measure pant size for men:

To determine your correct pant size, you’ll need to know two measurements: your waist and inseam. Here’s how to find them (using a flexible cloth tape measure):

Know Your Waist & Inseam Measurements

1. Lay your best-fitting pair of pants out flat on a table or bed.
2. Make sure the pants are buttoned or zipped up completely.
3. For Inseam: Measure from the top of the inner pant leg seam (the crotch) to the opening at the bottom of the pant leg.
4. For Waist: Measure the waistband of the pants from the inside. (If you measure the waistband from the outside, its thickness could distort your true size.) If you find this difficult, you can simply measure around your exposed waist where your pant waistband rests.

Note: Always make sure the measuring tape lies flat or snugly against your body or the pants when taking these measurements.

Pant Leg Cuts:

Different pant leg shapes are referred to as "cuts," a term that is governed by the pattern design. The cut generally describes the actual shape of the pants and should be selected to flatter your unique body shape. Pant details like color, pocket placement and other embellishments are important, but they can't disguise a bad cut.

Below is a list of common leg cuts for pants and jeans, together with their descriptions.

• Straight Leg: Pants with a straight, narrow leg that does not flare at the ankle.
• Flared Leg: Pants that are narrow at the knee with an extra-wide flare from calf to ankle.
• Boot Cut: Pants that are cut to skim over the thigh and flare slightly at the lower leg.
• Tapered Leg: Pants that narrow toward the ankle.
• Capri: Pants that end anywhere between the knee and mid-calf.
• Cropped: Pants that end at any length from the mid-calf to the ankle.
• Relaxed Fit: Pants that are relaxed and full from hip to ankle.

Researchers found that men preferred the shape of ordinary women, equivalent to dress size 14, than so-called super-attractive models, according to a study that compared the body shapes of ordinary women, Playboy centerfolds, models from the 1920s and 1990s and glamour girls.

Professor Rob Brooks at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and colleagues, asked 100 male students to judge the attractiveness of 201 line drawings of female torsos with different hip, waist and shoulder measurements.

They discovered that men preferred the average body size of women aged 25 to 44 to so-called "superattractive models".

"The orthodoxy says that you will be attractive with a certain waist-hip ratio no matter how the rest of your body varies," Prof Brooks told the New Scientist. "Our study shows this is not the case,".

When compared with groups of real women, including Playboy centrefolds, Australian escorts advertising on the internet and average Australian women between the ages of 25 and 44, the latter group most closely matched the preferred body shape.

That is equivalent to a size 14 dress, or 36-28-38 and 5ft 4in tall, the average size of women in both Australia and Britain.
