Many travelers like to buy clothes abroad. In another country, certain types of clothing may be much cheaper, and you can often find things you can't find in your home country.
When buying clothes abroad (or from foreign online stores), you may come across many different clothing size systems. In some shops (not to mention in outdoor markets and similar places), there are no facilities for trying on clothes, so it may be useful to refer to the local sizing system.
In some cases, clothes are marked with letters such as S (Small), M (Medium), L (Large), XL (Extra Large), etc. For example, souvenir T-shirts are usually marked in this way. However, these practices are different in practice: for example, clothes of a certain size sold in the Asian market are usually smaller than equivalent clothes in the United States. Finally, clothing markings may be defective or completely missing.

Tall man, but also has a bust of 89 cm. In addition, there is a set of age-based waist adjustments. For example, a dress sold by someone in the 1960s may be 9 cm larger than a dress of the same size. These dresses were sold in their 20s. The adjustment based on age will increase the life circumference by 3 cm every ten years.

The standard British/U.S. size for men’s trousers is the "comfortable" waist circumference of an inch minus 3 inches, so the belt size of a "30-size" trouser is about 33 inches of a human waist. In contrast, due to differences in the US sizing chart, medium-sized women's clothing will not exceed "size 12"-so "size 30" ladies will be great.
