Chest:

Measure just under the arms across the shoulder blades, holding the tape firmly and level. If your chest size is between two sizes, choose the larger size.

Hips:

Stand up straight, feet together and measure around your natural waist, ie halfway between the last bone of your ribs and the bone of your hips, keeping the tape measure horizontal. For a casual look and great freedom of movement, add a few centimeters otherwise take the precise measurement for a slimfit cut.

Crotch:

Measure your favorite pants. Lay it flat so you can easily calculate the length. Measure the length from the inseam to the base of the leg hem. Or, you can also measure directly on your legs by taking the measurement from the crotch to the desired trouser length.
