The popularity of the foreign trading platform Aliexpress today is incredibly high. For men who want to look stylish for little money, it is important to understand men's sizes on Aliexpress so that the purchase is successful. And the catch here is that Asian sizes are quite different from the usual European ones, so you need to learn how to select a certain size.

Dimensions men's clothing on Aliexpress they are exhibited in a very wide range, since they are presented in the Chinese format. They should not be confused with European sizes. Moreover, you should not choose, for example, a jumper and jacket of the same size, sold by the same company. After all, products from the same seller can differ greatly in sizing.

Asian and european sizes, although they have letter designations, they clearly do not correspond to each other. Before making a purchase on Aliexpress, it is better to familiarize yourself with the table of correspondence of these sizes.

Usually on the Chinese Internet site you can see the following letter designations for the sizes of men's clothing:

• S, means small;
• M, means medium;
• L, means large;
• XL means extra large;
• XXL means huge.

Specifics of selecting men's clothing

So, you should not rely only on the letter designations of things. Asian manufacturers clearly don’t bother with adhering to a single size grid when sewing. To determine the required size, you must use a special correspondence table men's sizes on Aliexpress. This table will be your main assistant in choosing standard sizes for a jacket or jumper.

The specifics of any wardrobe items from Chinese manufacturers are very important. Since the inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom themselves are shorter and narrower in the shoulders than European men, therefore, you almost always have to add one unit to the size selected on the website. For example, you wear L clothes - in this case it is better to order an item in size XL.

How to use size charts?

Almost always, in addition to the letter designation, clothing sizes are presented in measurements in centimeters. Sometimes they are the ones who prevent you from making a mistake in choosing when making a purchase. Almost always, a grid indicating centimeters can be found on the page of the product being sold.

To determine men's size in Russian on the Aliexpress website, you need to correctly measure your parameters using a centimeter tape. Here's what needs to be measured and how to do it correctly:

1. Height. You need to take off your shoes and lean against the surface, making marks at the top of your head. That is, you need to measure from the top of your head to your heels. Apply a measuring tape to the mark and find out your exact height.
2. Bust. Measure around the body, along the most convex point of the horizontal line.
3. Waist circumference. Measure along the narrowest part of the torso. It is approximately located in the navel area.
4. Hip girth. To measure, the legs must be taken together. Measure along the most protruding parts of the hips.
5. Inseam length of trousers. The crotch seam is measured. You can use old trousers for this.
6. Side length of trousers. Measured from the waist to the heels.
7. Neck circumference. This option is especially necessary when buying shirts.
8. Shoulder length. Measured from the neck to the beginning of the shoulder.
9. The length of the sleeve. Measurement is taken from shoulder to wrist.

You can also determine your weight to get a more complete picture of your size. The most accurate weight is determined in the morning, when the man has not eaten anything yet (you need to measure on a naked body).

The picture shows how to take measurements for men in order to quickly determine your size for the selected product.

When ordering winter or autumn clothes, measurements should be taken after dressing in a thick sweater and pants. If we are talking about choosing a summer or spring wardrobe, then it is better to take measurements while wearing only underwear.

What to do if the size chart is completely unclear?

If the seller’s size chart looks suspicious and has some inconsistencies, then it is better for the customer to write to the seller and request a normal size chart. The buyer should also inform them about their parameters - in this case, an honest and willing seller can advise the right size.

If the seller is deceitful, turns out to be not too honest, recommends the wrong size or sends the completely wrong one, then the correspondence can be used in the future when opening a dispute - it will serve as evidence and help win the controversial issue.

How to determine the size of a jacket?

To select the appropriate size men's jackets on Aliexpress, it is important to consider that all jackets presented on the Chinese online site can be divided into 3 categories:

1. Products from the Chinese and other Asian countries located nearby. This includes Chinese clothing of good quality, created for small figures (for example, for men with a thin build). But this does not mean that they will not be represented here big sizes. Again, it is important to study the product page well to make the right size choice.
2. Jackets belonging to original Chinese brands. This includes clothing created specifically for the European consumer. And, as a rule, the sizing chart for jackets in this category fully corresponds to the international one. For fashionistas from Russia, sellers specifically provide a table of correspondence between international and Russian sizes, and also give their recommendations regarding the choice of product.
3. Things of popular American or European brands (their copies). In this category, the size chart of different brands does not match (despite being from Europe and America). Therefore, you can make the right choice of size only by carefully studying the size chart in the product card.

Men's jackets from these three sections can differ significantly in their sizes. For some items, sellers indicate in the description that the item is small or large. This helps customers a lot right choice and enjoy the things you have purchased. You can make sure the size of the jacket matches by reading existing customer reviews.

In order for a man to be satisfied with the purchased item, it is better to measure not only the parameters of the figure and compare them with the indicated sizes in the tables on the product card, but also measure an old jacket that fits perfectly to the figure. In the photo you see what measurements need to be taken and how to do it correctly.

After all the measurements, you should carefully read the description of the desired jacket and look at all the photos provided to see all its details (accessories, pockets, trim, etc.). If the photos on the product page do not seem to be enough or they are unclear, you can write to the seller and ask him to send even more detailed photos. At the same time, you can get advice on a specific jacket size if you have any difficulties with this.

How to determine the size of jeans and underwear?

Size men's jeans On Aliexpress, as a rule, it corresponds to international sizes. You can also select jeans after measuring your waist and hips. Here is a sample table that makes it easy to choose jeans and trousers for men from different countries.

The same parameters (hip and waist measurements) will be the main ones when determining the size of men's briefs on Aliexpress.

The description of men's briefs on the website contains a table of suitable sizes. The seller can also indicate the length of men's underpants. Almost always, international men's underwear sizes correspond to clothing sizes. Using this table, you can select men's underpants on Aliexpress.

How to choose men's shoes?

When choosing the right size men's shoes On Aliexpress, it is important to pay attention to its manufacturer. After all, the shoe sizes of Americans, Chinese or Europeans are very diverse. The same shoe size in the same size chart sometimes has some differences. Therefore, it is important to focus on the length of the foot in centimeters and compare the measurements with the table presented by the seller on the website. To determine the correct shoe size, you can use the international size chart.

To avoid disappointment from purchasing any product on Aliexpress, it is better to give preference to trusted sellers who have a high reliability rating.

Thus, L from one manufacturer may be XL from another, and the size of the items will be exactly the same.

The choice of shoes and their size is a separate issue: the feet of Russian and Chinese women are noticeably different in size. Plus, by our standards, you are unlikely to find women's shoes larger than size 39 among Chinese products.

If we brought you exactly the size you ordered, you cannot refuse and get a full refund - therefore, when choosing clothes, you need to pay Special attention per size.

If the size of clothes or shoes from your order does not suit you, you can get 25% from its cost to the account provided that the same item is re-ordered in the correct size. To do this, you need to write to the site support the number and position of the unsuitable item and the position number of the reordered item.

The most accurate way to determine size is to look for size charts in the specific product description.

The tables contain measurements of the things themselves, not human measurements! This means you need to take your item, measure it and compare the data obtained with the tabular ones.

For example, you choose a jacket. Take your jacket, measure it and compare what you get with the table in the product description. The same should be done with any other clothing.

Often, information about sizes is uploaded by the seller in the form of a picture, which does not allow automatic translation of the specified information. To make it easier for you to decide in such cases, you can find and click the “Show sizes” button on the left - a list of size translations will open and you can find which hieroglyphs correspond to what. See the example below:

Sometimes you may come across a "one size fits all". Most often this applies to hosiery, bodysuits, overalls, negligees, panties, dresses, etc. The items themselves are often made of stretchy material. This size corresponds to sizes "S" and "M" and is suitable for height 155-170 cm and weight 45-70 kg.

Sometimes you may come across tables like this:

where, horizontally (the hieroglyph "体重") indicates the person's weight multiplied by 2 (multiply your weight by 2), and vertically (the hieroglyph "身高") - height in cm. For example, according to this table for a person with a height of 180 cm. and weighing 80 kg. You need to choose size "M".

We also suggest using the following pictures. Print or save these pictures:

Once you've visited Aliexpress, it's hard not to return. A literally unlimited assortment and the lowest prices (sometimes things literally cost pennies) will be remembered for a lifetime. But is it possible to buy everything on Aliexpress? For example, does it make sense to buy clothes there? Costs! Why? For the same reasons why you should buy everything you need from this online store. The advantages are obvious:

1. Price. It cannot be said that any things on Aliexpress are cheaper than in other stores. But when retailers have sales, you can fill your entire closet with nice new clothes for just one dollar.
2. Diversity. Thousands of sellers and hundreds of thousands of items. There is nothing more to say.
3. Reliability. The rating system quickly sorts sellers by integrity, and goods by quality. Be careful and you will never be disappointed with your purchase.

The only disadvantage of buying clothes from Aliexpress is that you do not have the opportunity to try on the desired item. But don't worry - you won't have to play the lottery. Items are photographed and sometimes even videotaped by sellers and then by buyers. You almost always have the opportunity to take a closer look at a particular item and make sure that it suits you. And with sizes it’s even easier. Almost every seller places a universal sizing grid on their product page so that buyers from anywhere in the world can make the right choice. In 90% of cases, you can easily determine the size on Aliexpress for women and girls.

How to find out women's clothing size

Before buying clothes in an online store, it is advisable to take new measurements each time, since body shapes sometimes change completely imperceptibly. In addition, each store may have its own size table on Aliexpress with its own characteristics.

In most cases, four measurements are enough: chest, waist, hips. The chest circumference is measured at the most convex points. The hip circumference is measured in a similar way. Waist circumference is measured at the narrowest part of the body between the shoulders and pelvis. In some cases, additional measurements may be needed. For example, to determine your bra size, you need the girth under the bust.

When buying clothes in Asian sizes, you should take into account the features of the pattern. As a rule, with the same chest/hip circumference, the length of the sleeves/pants of clothes in Chinese sizes is several centimeters shorter.

If you are going to buy winter clothes, take measurements wearing a sweater and warm tights (socks, etc.). For other clothing, measurements are taken in underwear.

With these measurements you can determine clothing sizes on Aliexpress for women in most cases.

How to convert foreign sizes to Russian ones

Despite the fact that Aliexpress is an international store, sometimes Russian sizes are not available on the product page. But don't be embarrassed. We have prepared several tables for you that will help you convert Chinese, British and other unfamiliar sizes into convenient and familiar Russian ones. However, it doesn’t hurt to check with the seller each time whether a particular item will fit your measurements. Now that you know and understand the clothing sizes table for women, China with its ocean of cheap goods is waiting for you with open arms.

When buying clothes in the Chinese online store Aliexpress, the most difficult task is choosing the right size, since sellers use size charts for different countries of the world (USA, Europe, Asia). You should also consider the integrity of the manufacturer and seller in order to avoid undersized and oversized models.

We'll talk about it briefly below:

How to determine your clothing size

In the main product card on Aliexpress, the size is most often presented according to the international grid (XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL). This list is for placing an order.

Below in the model description, the seller places a size chart for a specific model, which should be used for selection.

Table of men's and women's sizes in different countries

To determine the right size, you need to take your own measurements. To do this, it is better to invite an assistant, since when taking measurements from yourself there may be significant errors. Depending on the type of clothing, the following parameters will be required:

• Height- measured standing against a wall, from the floor to the top of the head.
• Bust- the measurement is taken along the most protruding parts of the chest and chest as you inhale. When purchasing women's underwear, this parameter is measured with the torso tilted forward at 45 degrees.
• Underbust circumference (measurement for women)- the centimeter should pass under the arms along the widest part of the chest.
• Waist circumference- measured along the thinnest part of the abdomen.
• The length of the sleeve- size from the edge of the shoulder to the middle of the hand at arm's length.
• Back length- the distance from the base of the neck to the intersection with the waist line along the axis of the spine.
• Shoulder width- measured from the back horizontally from the extreme point of one shoulder to the other.
• Neck circumference- line along the base of the neck.
• Hip girth- the centimeter should pass along the most protruding parts of the hips.

Using individual measurements, according to the table provided by the seller, you must compare the parameters and choose the closest clothing size. In this case, depending on the model, the nearest larger or smaller one is selected. So, when choosing a dress according to your figure from a non-elastic fabric, if the chest circumference is size L, and the waist circumference is M, the final choice should be L. For knitted materials and loose-fitting clothing (T-shirts, T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweaters), under similar conditions You should choose size M.

The sizes of clothes for children on Ali in the product cards are focused on the age of the child. They also need to be checked against dimensional grids, where the main parameters will be height and sleeve (pants) length.

How to choose the right trouser size

The most difficult category to choose clothes for is trousers, jeans and shorts. Here it is necessary to take into account the waist circumference, fit (the distance from the middle point of the seat seam to the top level of the trousers), weight, hip circumference, thigh circumference (measured 5 cm below the subgluteal fold), calf circumference (for models that fit the figure) and the length of the product. For greater accuracy, when choosing jeans, it is recommended to measure not your size, but the jeans you wear.

Most women's trousers on Ali are made of stretch fabric and in this case the size closest to the smallest is selected. This rule also applies to denim products, since they tend to stretch when worn.

If the material is not elastic, which is typical for men's clothing, the selection is carried out exactly according to the measurements, which can be further clarified with the seller in personal correspondence.

How to choose outerwear

The choice of outerwear size should be made taking into account what you will wear underneath it, and therefore measurements are taken in everyday clothes.

It should also be taken into account that Chinese sizes run small compared to European ones, which is especially typical for men's outerwear. You can find out by studying the comments on the product, choosing reviews from residents of the CIS countries.
