How to Measure
- Bust/Chest: Measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust or chest, keeping the tape measure parallel to the ground. Do not pull tight.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline (the narrowest point) while standing relaxed. Keep the tape comfortably loose.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks, approximately 20 cm below your waist, keeping the tape level.
- Bra Band: For bra sizes, measure snugly (but not tightly) under the bust in a straight line around your ribcage.
- Bra Cup: Measure around the fullest part of your bust over a non-padded bra, ensuring the tape is level and not stretched.
- Height: For menswear, note your height in centimetres, as Hanro tailors sizing to height ranges for optimal proportions.

Product-Specific Guidance
Lingerie & Bras: Hanro offers precise bra sizing across multiple international standards (UK, EU Germany, EU France). When selecting a bra, measure your band size snugly under the bust and your cup size over the fullest part of your bust. Hanro's Soft Bra collection features relaxed, flexible cup options—consider sizing down if you prefer a more comfortable, less structured fit. Band sizes range from 32 to 38 (UK) with cup sizes A through DD/E. If you are between sizes, Hanro typically recommends choosing the larger band with a smaller cup rather than a smaller band with a larger cup for optimal comfort.
Camisoles & Knickers: Hanro's camisoles and brief collections follow the main women's sizing (XS–XL). These pieces are designed to layer seamlessly under clothing, so refer to your standard dress size. The Touch Feeling range features special sizing tailored to a more fitted silhouette; consult the dedicated Touch Feeling chart for accurate measurements in this line.
Nightwear & Loungewear: Hanro's pyjamas, nightdresses, and robes use classic lingerie sizing (XXS–XL in some collections). These garments are cut generously for comfort; if you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down by one size. Always check the individual product description, as some collections run large.
Men's Underwear & Basics: Men's sizing at Hanro accounts for height as well as chest and waist measurements. For the best fit, note your height in centimetres and use it alongside your chest measurement. Hanro's men's collection emphasises premium comfort in everyday essentials; if you fall between sizes, choose based on chest measurement first, then waist.
Men's Loungewear & Nightwear: Men's pyjamas and loungewear follow the standard men's size chart and are designed with a relaxed, comfortable fit. If you prefer a more tailored look, you may size down by one size.
Sizing Tips
- Always measure yourself in the morning when your body is at its natural size, and avoid measuring immediately after exercise or a large meal.
- Hanro's European sizing (Germany, France, Italy) differs across markets; verify which standard applies to your specific product before ordering.
- Bra band sizes can vary slightly between collections. If you are a borderline size (e.g., between 34 and 36), order both if possible or consult Hanro's customer service to confirm the best fit for that particular style.
- Women's lingerie collections such as Touch Feeling are designed with a more tailored fit; refer to the dedicated Touch Feeling chart rather than general women's sizing for accuracy.
- Men's height is a critical dimension in Hanro's sizing. If you are significantly taller or shorter than the stated height range for your size, consider contacting customer service for personalised guidance.
- Hanro fabrics are premium and often designed to mould slightly to the body; allow a gentle break-in period of 1–2 wears before assessing whether a size is correct.
- Wash Hanro garments in cool water and lay flat to dry to preserve elasticity and prevent shrinkage, which may affect fit over time.
- If you are caught between two sizes, choose the larger size for underwear and bras; Hanro's premium fabrics hold their shape, and a slightly looser fit is preferable to one that is too tight.
