Women's Activewear Measurement Guide

General body measurement reference
Use this guide to learn how to measure your body for women's activewear, including coordinated tops and leggings.
Important: The ranges below are illustrative estimates, not a universal sizing standard or a verified size chart for any product. They are not supplier measurements and do not confirm which size will fit a particular item. Size labels and fit vary between styles. Use a product-specific, verified size chart whenever one is available.
How to measure
Use a flexible measuring tape over light clothing. Keep the tape level and comfortably close to your body without pulling it tight.
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waist, keeping your abdomen relaxed.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat with your feet together.

Before choosing a size
Do not treat these reference labels as US, UK or EU size conversions. Stretch, garment construction and personal fit preferences can affect comfort. For a two-piece set, check both upper- and lower-body measurements against the specific product's verified measurements rather than relying on a size letter alone.
