Here's how (finally) to know your pants size and the right length?

Too tight, not long enough, too short, gaping at the buttocks or (far) too wide at the waist… Finding the perfect pants is not an easy task. Moreover, redoing your jeans wardrobe can even turn out to be a real ordeal when you don't know its exact size and the current nuances in terms of tailoring. We didn't believe it anymore, but here are the secrets of the perfect pants and how to FINALLY determine our size.

Determining the right trouser size:the importance of measurements

You must have noticed it, but at Zara you often wear a 40 while at Mango the 38 fits you like a glove. Don't panic, you haven't gained a few pounds that will force you to change all your pants. From one brand to another, the sizes can vary and be completely different. To be sure of making the right choice, it is essential to take your measurements , but not just anyhow. The measurements are taken by the circumference of the hips, the circumference of the waist, and the length between the crotch and the ankle. Thanks to these measurements, you will be able to choose the right size according to the guide of each brand.

Determine the right size of pants:Tall, Standard, Petite, how to choose?

Depending on our size, the pants will not have the same rendering, and the brands have understood this. To allow each woman to find what she is looking for, many fashion brands have set upappropriate ranges . No more ending up with "fire-on-the-floor" pants when you're 36 and 1m78, or pants that drag on the ground when you're 46 and 1m61. Now, to each their own 40 and to each woman the power to flaunt a crazy silhouette.

If you are part of the team less than 1m62 , the "Petite" collections are made for you. Thus, you will have your size and a length that will fit you perfectly. In another case, if you have a long silhouette that exceeds 1m74 , the "Tall" collections, will be your allies. And if you're in between, well, you're in what's called the "Standard" collection. Clearly, no matter our morphology, it is possible to find the perfect pants that will show us the most. For the fashion fans that we are, these collections can only seduce us.
