EDIT: Audio is muted in the non talking portions of the video since YT flagged the bg music. All the steps are still displayed and is audible.
It's important to have proper fitting clothes. Here's a quick video I made on how I measure my body for the proper fit. This sizing guide will help with you figure out your body measurements, that way you will always find the right size when it comes to most basic clothing you find at any retailer (H&M, UNIQLO, J. Crew, etc.).
First you need Body Measurement Tape: bit.ly/Body_Mea...
Measurements should be taken directly on your body:
Chest - Measure over the fullest part of your chest.
Arms - Measure from the top of your shoulder down to your wrist.
Waist - Measure at the most narrow part of the waist.
Hips - Measure around the fullest part of your hip.
Legs - Measure from the inseam region which is from your crotch to your ankle.
Focusing on these 5 areas will help you find your correct size at most retailers.

This feels like a relaxing video for anxiety.

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bondanoz]

Chest measurement: make sure you're breathing normally, and taking the measurement at the biggest point in your breath cycle. (lung volume changes chest size) Hips: feet should be together, having feet apart will make an artificially large hip measurement 😊

[@shinigamibs8773]

Should we increase the chest size while buying hoddie

[@Tex_Killer]

Nice, its very important to know that when buying clothes

[@EricTMeraki]

Thanks for watching

[@benchatterton2525]

Thank you - ive measured myself before, I used these mearements, ill have to do it again though. I seem 2 be 2xl but somtimes there 2 big, sometimes xl fits bet then I have grown abit becouse of training. I wish clothes came in standard sizes instead of different brands having there version of of whatever size phhh!

[@EricTMeraki]

Thank you for watching. Glad it was helpful. I agree, too many brand vary in sizes.

[@marcellocapone4925]

What I find confusing is that us guys have 3 different measurements when it comes to buying pants: 1 - waist (typically measured from ~ belly button - mine is 74cm or 29") 2 - hips (widest point lower than your belly button/pelvis - mine is 82cm or 32") 3 - backside/ass circumference (peak/fullest point - mine is 92cm or 36") When ordering, it's sorted by 'waist size' but your pants sit on your 'hip measurement' rather than waist. I'm always like, which measurement do I stick to before buying online?

[@33billbert]

I find that bit confusing. I don’t wear jeans at the narrowest part of my waist?

I always have to return clothes when buying online so annoying it's a size issue Maybe I was measuring incorrectly

[@EricTMeraki]

Check out my other video on measuring for shoes too. It helps in this regards as well

[@Setsunako6587]

So informative! It seems silly in hindsight, but I was surprised that this is *exactly* the same as taking measurements on women. PS: I wanted to say something #thirsty about helping with your inseam (lol, too late), but I respect your work!

[@EricTMeraki]

Lol thanks, this was one of my first informative how to videos. Glad you thought it was useful. This video isn't getting as many views as I hoped it would. Thx for watching!

Those jeans fit you really well.

It would've been useful to read out your measurements to get an idea .. I have a body similar to yours

Chest: 36 Waist: 29 Hips: 35

[@EaZy_7]

When you say from your top shoulder do you mean where your neck meets your shoulder ?? Or right at top of your armpit ?

[@EricTMeraki]

Yes where neck meets shoulder.

[@Capronice]

where is the top of your shoulder? That is why I was watching this video.

[@EricTMeraki]

You can see in my video. It's slightly before the bottom of you neck.

Generally my waist is smaller(26.5 inch) than my hip(around the hip bones 28 inch) If i want to buy a jean,should i follow the waist size?

[@EricTMeraki]

Go with hip size if you think it fits you better.

[@magicalashleigh]

Always size up, never down. So hip measurement, if that is bigger. The area that is loose can always be shrunk by a tailor or you add a belt.

[@manuelvallet888]

Helpful but how do I measure the bust and outwear lenght?

@@EricTMeraki how come no one likes to include the Shoulder width, can you tell me your shoulder width? or is that irrelevant? Thanks

[@EricTMeraki]

The arms, chest will actually cover it to give you want idea and unless you're going for a suit it may not matter for most clothing. I'm sure you could look up how to do it though. My guide was mostly for regular clothing sizing charts.

[@buffaloaf8205]

If you measure your waist your jeans sit below your waist how does that help?

[@EricTMeraki]

That's because your jeans cut are based on the waist size and not hip size.

The problem I found is that some companies don't put a size chart up on their site

[@EricTMeraki]

Makes me less likely to shop at one of those companies

[@sher1x165]

Is it really helpful to measure clothes I already own, and then compare the measurements to a size chart of the same type of clothes I'm going to buy online?

[@EricTMeraki]

Some brands sizes will vary if you compare their size charts but usually not by too much.

[@FredForestArt]

I have been searching the web for answers for too long now, and I don't know who to ask... Now I know how to take body measurements, but what now? How do I apply these measurements? How do I translate my body measurements into tailored clothes? Would love to see a tutorial on how to apply this newly acquired knowledge

[@EricTMeraki]

Thanks for watching! These measurements are meant to be compared to a clothing size chart since different brands will use different measurements for their size charts so if you know your measurements you'll always find the right size to buy.

Based on height and weight probably small or even xs depending on the type of fit you want to go for.

@@EricTMeraki what about shoulder circumference?

[@EricTMeraki]

Start the end of the tape measure on the outside edge of the shoulder. This is where the horizontal part of the shoulder meets the vertical part of the arm. Measure up over the curve of the shoulders and to outside edge of the other shoulder. It'll be easier with another person to help you.

I measured my chest and it showed 41.73 inches ( 106 cm ) is that medium or large??

Thanks for watching. Try comparing it to a clothing size chart from the place you plan to shop at. Check their website. It will vary based on brand.

Yes technically

What you're measuring is your natural waist area for shirts. You lower waist/hips would be for pants.

@@EricTMeraki Body length for T-shirt duh. Neck to buttocks?

[@EricTMeraki]

Most companies will not display their t-shirt length so you will not need to know your back length. That's why I did not include it. If you're curious here is how you measure your back. Bend your head forward to find the most prominent bone in the back of your neck and measure from here down the spine to the bottom of your back waist.

[@eunhaneunanae8497]

@@EricTMeraki Oh thanks for the Info. When it comes to clothing, I am very particular with the length than width, I hate it when my shirt is short.
