Men’s Shirt Size to Women’s

Getting a 1:1 ratio for shirt sizes is a bit less straightforward than measuring for men’s pants. Ultimately, there’s no one-size-fits-all rule. Your best bet is to measure the chest and the waist of a women’s shirt that fits you well, and then compare it to the measurements on a men’s shirt. 

Men’s Pants to Women’s Sizes

Whether you’re in the market for denim, fleece joggers or cargos, you’ll want to use the following measurements: 

Women will subtract 21 inches from the men’s pant waist measurement to get their best fit. That means a 33-inch men’s waist will roughly equal a women’s size 12 pant. Inseam measurements are the same for both men and women.
