i am ordering work uniforms and they dont have a good selection for ladies pants....I want to order mens?

Question

uniform pants but not sure how to convert my size to mens pant sizing. Anyone know?

Answer 1

uh...I think it depends. go to a store and try them on and then do it if thats what it takes. also call your aunt or mom or something they tend to know these things. lol

Answer 2

There's no good way to convert. My wife wears a men's 32, but in women's sizes, she wears anything from a 8 to a 12 depending on who makes the pants to the style and cut.

Women who are more athletic generally will find men's pants to fit them well. Women's pants are generally much wider in the hip, which for slender or less curvy women can be a problem. Check your body type to see if they will work.

Finally, check your waist size and your inseam; that's how men's pants will be sized. A good rule of thumb is to add an inch to the stated waist size to account for hips. You can have them tailored in at the waist if necessary. Also, look at pleated front pants; they have lots of space if that's needed.

I work in a job that requires uniforms, and most of the women I know "cross dress" and wear men's pants. They claim that they fit better, and are handier, with bigger pockets, etc. Good luck.

Answer 3

ask if you can try some on. i wear the mens uniform pants as well. they run in inches like mens jeans. i wear size 5 or 6 in womens and 28 in mens.

Answer 4

If you want to wear men's pants, remember that the waist will be much to big for you since men have bigger waists than hips and we, ladies, the opposite.

Answer 5

uh bad idea better to choose the best of ther worst

Answer 6

they should know(the uniform co.) just tell em what you want and they should handle it for you...

Answer 7

i wouldn't recommend doing that...

women have HIPS, men don't.
