So find out if a pair of pants fits? without trying on them

Women know: shopping can sometimes be really exhausting. Especially if you are in a shop where the snakes in front of the dressing rooms once again protrude through the half shop. Worse, there are no changing rooms, like a flea market. For those of you who are just looking for a matching pair of pants, we have two ultimate tricks to figure out if it suits you. And without that you have to try them on.

Trick # 1: The elbow hack

In this trick, the collar should be completely closed at the front by buttons and zippers. If this is the case, hold the trousers with one hand and place the other hand and the entire forearm in the waistband. If the diameter of the jeans and forearm are identical, the pants will probably fit.



How exactly that works, you can see again in this short video.

Trick # 2: The "frill"

This trick is just as inexpensive as the first. For this hack the waistband of pants must be placed around the neck from behind. If the ends of the pants touch the front, the jeans should supposedly fit. If the ends overlap, the pants are too big. If they do not touch, the pants are too small. You do not believe that? We have subjected this method to the editorial test and lo and behold: There is actually something in the method!

The only important thing is that you pay attention to which model you want to measure. If it is a high-waisted jeans, it may be that the ends of the waistband are just touching. This is because the waist where the pants are supposed to sit is naturally narrower than the hips and therefore narrower. It's different with a hip jacket. The measurements should be optimal for this test.



Conclusion:

For every pair of pants, it should be noted before a test, which model it is. Is it a hipster or a high-waisted jeans, should the pants fit snugly or rather have a wide-cut boyfriend style? It is also important not to rely solely and 100 percent on these tests. Trying on is still the safest alternative. BUT: Does not fit the jeans around the neck, you can save the walk to the dressing room in any case ever.
