You need to know the tricks, like put your arm inside the waist band, from your fist to your elbow, that is pretty close to your waist size. Or grab the waist with one hand on each side and pull it tight, and then wrap it around your neck, the two ends will probably barely touch.
More or less, depending on how big your waist is. But once you figure it out, you'll be able to better approximate without trying on.
