Introduction
Shopping for unisex clothing can feel more straightforward than navigating separate men’s and women’s size charts—but only if you know how to read the measurements correctly. Since unisex sizes are designed for all genders, understanding chest, waist, hips, height, and weight makes it much easier to choose the right size.
What Is Unisex Sizing?
Unisex sizing uses a single standard measurement chart instead of gender-specific cuts. Most brands base unisex sizes on men’s measurements, which means:
- People used to women’s sizes may find unisex clothes slightly roomier.
- People used to men’s sizes may find unisex clothing true to size.
- The fit is designed to accommodate many body shapes.
How Unisex Sizing Works
Unisex items—like hoodies, tees, and bottoms—typically follow a straight, relaxed fit. The measurements matter more than the size label itself, making it important to know your body numbers.
Key Measurements to Know
Chest/Bust
Measure around the fullest part, keeping the tape level.
Waist
Wrap the tape around your natural waistline.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of your hips and butt.
This measurement is crucial for unisex bottoms. If your hips are wider, you may need to size up even if your waist is smaller.
Height
Stand straight without shoes. This helps determine how long tops and bottoms will fall.
Weight
Useful when brands provide recommended weight ranges for size guidance.
Inseam
Helpful for full-length bottoms like joggers or sweatpants.
Tips for Choosing the Right Unisex Size
Use measurements first, not your usual size
Your chest, waist, hip, height, and weight measurements offer the most accurate sizing.
Prioritize hips for bottoms
If your hips fall into a larger size than your waist or chest, size up for comfort.
Consider the fit you prefer
- Size up for an oversized or relaxed look
- Stay within your measurement range for a fitted look
Check the fabric
Stretchy fabrics offer more flexibility; woven materials require more precise sizing.
Review brand notes
Some items run small or large—reviews help avoid surprises.
Final Thoughts
Starting with the unisex size chart makes finding the right fit much easier. With your chest, waist, hip, height, and weight measurements, you can confidently choose unisex clothing that feels comfortable and fits well. Unisex sizing is designed to be inclusive—your measurements simply help you get the best possible fit.
