How to Measure Your Chest Size
In this guide, we're going to explain how to measure your chest size in three simple steps. This way, the next time you go shopping for a bra, you'll have a clearer idea of what to look for when trying to find your best-fitting bra.
#1 Measuring Chest Size for Women
Begin by finding a fabric tape measure. This type of tape measure is flexible and ideal for wrapping around your body to accurately measure curves. If you don't have one, you can alternatively use a string, wrap it around your body, then measure the string with a ruler.
For an accurate measurement, it's best to enlist the help of a friend. If that's not possible, take extra care to ensure the tape measure doesn't slip in the back. Keep your bra on for the measurement but remove your shirt, as any extra fabric will add a few centimeters to your measurement.
Wrap the tape measure around your chest, positioning it so that it's horizontal to the ground and just under your armpits. Bring it around your back so that the ends come together in front, across the widest part of your breasts. Maintain a normal posture without puffing out your chest or exhaling. Make sure the tape measure is not twisted and check the mirror for your measurement. The place where the end of the tape measure meets the other side is your chest size.

#2 Measuring Chest Size for Men
Like the women's measurement, start with a fabric tape measure. If you don't have one, you can use a piece of string and then measure it with a ruler. Consider asking someone to help you measure for the most accurate measurement. If you're measuring alone, do it in front of a mirror so that you can ensure the tape is parallel to the ground all the way around.
Remove your shirt for the measurement, as clothing adds extra width. Wrap the tape around your torso, just under your armpits and around the widest part of your chest, which is often above or at the nipple line. Keep the tape parallel to the ground and make sure it's not twisted. Don't puff out your chest or flex your muscles as this will affect the accuracy of the measurement.
Hold the ends of the tape with both hands in the front of your body so that you can see the measurement. Look in the mirror at the place where the beginning end of the tape measure and the remaining portion meet in the front of your chest. This number is your chest measurement.
