The sizes of shorts (size charts)

The sizes of shorts

The shorts sizes are calculated using two parameters:

waist circumference; hip girth.

The sizes of shorts:

The calculation of the women shorts size is different from the men shorts:

in order to find the size of men shorts the producers take into the consideration the waist circumference, considering the allowance for a protruding belly;
the basis for the size of women shorts is the hip girth parameter minus 2-4 (cm).

Important: the common size charts are not accurate enough in determining the sizes, as different brands use their own calculating methods. Often the size equals the waist semi-circumference or hip semi-girth.

Sizing systems of European, Japanese and American producers:

In the USA there is a big gap in between women and men’s size ranges:

for women shorts in the USA only even numbers from 0 to 16 are used;
for men shorts the difference of the size range comparing to european is 10 units, for example, 48 (European) – 38 (American).

The size range of the Japanese system is determined by odd sequence of numbers from 3 to 19.
