How to determine the size of something for your son

Boys are less picky about clothes than girls. But there are also many stores for them and a large selection of new items for the wardrobe. Sweatshirts, trousers, sweatshirts. Fashion designers don't offend boys. They create wonderful collections. Nowadays appliques and prints on T-shirts with cartoon characters are fashionable.

Bright colors have also become fashionable for boys. Previously, they only wore subdued colors. In recent years, even teenagers will not refuse salad or yellow. Any thing should be great «sit», be comfortable, fit in size.

Parents of small children update their wardrobe themselves. Teenage boys They like to order the things they like via the Internet. Moms better control such purchases. To avoid sizing problems. If your son is completely independent, teach him to take his own measurements and use size charts.

Basic measurements — height, age and breasts. But you also need to take into account the size of your waist, hips, and arm length. For example, buying trousers, shorts, and outerwear requires knowledge of these parameters.

Height. Mothers always know their son's height. They are measured in clinics and schools. But there is no need to rely on an indicator with a statute of limitations. Children grow up quickly. That's why It’s better to calculate your height before purchasing new things. The child should stand near the wall on the floor. With an even body position, in a relaxed state.

If your son is small, plays around and can’t stand still, turn the measurements into a game. Or, offer him an encouraging sweet. And, he will happily stand for a minute. Use a pencil to mark on the wall where the back of your head ends. Then, measure the distance from tags to the floor.

Chest circumference. Boys' chests are measured by passing a measuring tape under the arms. If your son is active, you can carefully take measurements while he sleeps.

Waist circumference. Boys rarely wear clothes around their waists. But, when buying pants, you need this value. For boys, the waist is where the elastic band goes through the panties. Just above the hips. Wrap the tape around this area.

Hip girth. Hip line — the widest part of the body. Visually identify a line a few centimeters below the abdomen. Along the protruding points of the butt.

The length of the sleeve. It is also rarely required, and this indicator is not in the table. But parents need to be able to take such measurements. Place your son straight. Ask to raise either arm and bend it at the elbow. Using a tape, measure from shoulder to wrist.

After determining the parameters, carefully look at the table. In addition to Russian standards, it includes markings of European, English and American companies.After establishing the Russian size, they can be recognized without difficulty.

Let's say my son is 8 years old, height 126 cm, A girth chest 63 cm. According to the diagram, its size is 34. If company manufacturer foreign, look further at the horizontal line. Europe – 5, England – 6, USA – 7.

Children develop differently. It happens that a boy’s age does not correspond to his height, and vice versa. Don't be upset if the registry data doesn't match your son's parameters. Look carefully and choose a larger size.
