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.
Let's face it--guys have it much easier than women in buying clothes by size that predictably fit "off the rack".
I know my waist size and inseam and it's been many, many year since I've bought something that doesn't fit.
How does your trick work for buying clothes online? But at age 65 I think I've got it down well in choosing clothes that fit me.
