How to Measure Your Size Before Buying a Suit Online (Quick Guide)

Buying a suit online is easy — but only if you know your correct measurements.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a simple guide to help you measure yourself at home and choose the perfect size.

1. Measure Your Chest

Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest.

Keep the tape straight and relaxed — not too tight.

Tip: Stand normally and don’t hold your breath.

2. Measure Your Shoulders

Measure from one shoulder bone to the other across your back.

This helps you choose the right jacket fit.

3. Measure Your Sleeve Length

Start from the top of your shoulder and measure down to your wrist.

This ensures your sleeves are not too long or too short.

4. Measure Your Waist

Wrap the tape around your natural waist (just above the belly button).

Keep it comfortable — not squeezed.

5. Measure Your Inseam (Pant Length)

Measure from the top of your inner thigh down to your ankle.

This decides how long your pants should be.

6. Compare With the Size Chart

Every brand has different sizing.

Always compare your measurements with the store’s size chart to pick the perfect size.

Final Tip

Accurate measurements make online shopping easy, and your suit will fit perfectly without needing alterations.
