With the onset of cold weather, almost every modern person uses gloves. They help to protect his hands from frost and strong wind. In addition, they are a stylish accessory that complements the image of the owner. That is, gloves, like shoes, a scarf hat or other clothing, help to diversify the image. However, it should be borne in mind that in order for gloves to look perfect on hands and to be comfortable, it is necessary to correctly select their size and style.

It should be understood that the narrow models will limit the movement of the fingers, and large ones, on the contrary, with a sharp swing, can fly off their hands. Therefore, in order to choose the right size of such a thing as gloves, you must first familiarize yourself with the existing sizes and methods for determining them.

Hand size

To pick up gloves of the right size, you need to measure your hand. Measurements should be carried out on the writing hand, as it is leading and will be slightly larger than the second hand.

Also, when measuring it is necessary to take into account that the measuring tape on the one hand has an inch scale, and on the other - a centimeter. But since the marking of gloves is often carried out in centimeters or millimeters, it is necessary to make measurements using the centimeter scale.

To determine the size, you first need to measure the circumference of the palm in the widest part.

To obtain the most accurate parameters, the measurement should be performed in the following sequence:

• female - from the sixteenth to the thirtieth size;
• male - from the twentieth to the thirty second size.

Also, many experts carry out individual orders of non-standard values ​​(from 32 to 38 sizes).

As for children, there is also no single standard for them, and therefore the measurement and selection of the necessary thing is done similarly.

There is another option for calculating the appropriate size of gloves - measuring the length of the hand. Usually such measurements are made by people who have a brush of non-standard width or length.

To implement such a procedure, you need:

1. Spread the fingers of one hand.
2. Then raise your palm up.
3. Attach one end of the measuring tape to the top of the middle finger.
4. Measure the distance to the base of the brush.
