Body height Measurements for men’s pants – body height Body height is the vertical measurement from the crown of the head to the floor, taken without shoes. If you are configuring trousers with a wide hem that should fall over high heels, wear the heels during the measurement to ensure all length measurements are adjusted accordingly.

Side length to waistband topedge Defines the outer leg length from the floor to the desired waistband height.

Measure along the outside of the leg from the floor, without shoes and with feet slightly apart, up to your intended waistband position.

A lower waistband results in a shorter measurement, while a higher rise increases the value. This point also defines where to measure the waist circumference.

Waistband circumference Defines the circumference of the waistband at the chosen waistband height.

Measure around the body exactly at the height you defined for the waistband top in the previous step.

Ensure the measuring tape lies flat against the body and is not twisted. For mid- to low-rise trousers, measure the waist slightly snug—firm, but still comfortable—so the waistband stays in place without a belt.

Hip circumference Defines the circumference at the fullest part of the buttocks.

Stand in front of a mirror with your feet about hip-width apart.
Wrap the measuring tape around your hips and adjust it slightly up and down until you find the widest point.

Ensure the tape runs horizontally and lies smoothly against the body without being too tight.
Then read the measurement.

Take inseam measurements Defines the inner leg length from the crotch to the floor.

Measure vertically from the lowest point of a close-fitting pair of underwear down to the floor, without shoes and with feet slightly apart.

To locate the crotch point precisely, place a right-angled object (such as a narrow book) between your legs until it sits snugly against the body and flat against a wall.

If measuring alone, fix a measuring tape or ruler vertically to the wall with the zero point at the floor, and read the value at the top edge of the object.

Mid-thigh circumference Defines the circumference of the thigh at its midpoint.

Measure horizontally halfway between the crotch and the top of the kneecap.
Ensure the measuring tape lies flat against the body and is not twisted or too tight.

Measure both legs and use the larger value

Buttocks shape Defines how far the buttocks project backwards when viewed from the side.

A value of 1 indicates a very flat seat with minimal projection.
A value of 5 indicates a very prominent seat with strong outward curvature.

Stand sideways in front of a mirror and compare your profile to the reference images.
If unsure, choose the default value 3.

Waistband slope Defines the height difference between the front and back of the waistband when viewed from the side.

A value of 1 means the waistband runs almost straight and level.
A value of 5 means the waistband is significantly higher at the back and lower at the front.

Choose a higher value if your trousers tend to sit lower in the front or if you have a more prominent seat or stomach.
If unsure, use the default value 3.
