I'm still pretty new to women's clothing. I found this on the board "20(38) 41/42-1/2 32/33 1/2 43/44-1/2 42(L)" what does it mean? I am a size 42 in men's jeans and I get that the sizes all the way to the left are women's but there are two different sizes 20 and 38. This confuses me. Am I a size 20 or a size 38? Also what would be my belt size? Any help would be appreciated. :)
You would try a size 20 first.
As always each has there own fit and flare.
unfortunately there's not a WHOLE lot of consistency with women's clothing. i would try to find a sizing chart from the brand that you're trying to buy pants from and compare your measurements to that. like mrs izzy said, i think 20 would be a good place to start too (if we're talking US women's sizes)
