These categories ensure that clothing is designed to accommodate varying heights, providing better proportions for individuals of different statures.
Based on data collected from six Indian cities across North, West, South, Central, East, and North-East regions, the population can be categorised intoFive distinct body types.
These classifications are determined by the difference between chest and waist measurements.
For Example:
Chest of body type A is 15-20 cm bigger than waist.
- Body Type A: 20-15
- Body Type B: 15-10
- Body Type C: 10-5
- Body Type D: 5-0
- Body Type E: 0-(-5)
By considering these height and hip measurements, India Size moves beyond traditional size labels to create a more personalised and accurate fitting experience, catering to the unique body types found across India.
Understanding your body type, especially within the context of Indian body shapes, can help you find the perfect pair of jeans that not only fits well but also enhances your natural shape.
