Dickies Size Guide for Men
Classic Fit:
The Classic Fit is tailored for a more traditional, relaxed fit, allowing room for natural curves. This style is ideal for those who prefer a comfortable and professional look without compromising on movement or style. Tops and pants in this fit offer a balanced, figure-flattering silhouette.
- Sizes: XXS-5XL
- Best For: Those who prefer a comfortable, relaxed fit.
- Sizing Tip: If you fall on the lower end of the size range, consider sizing down for a more fitted look. If you’re between sizes or prefer a looser fit, opt for your regular size.
Contemporary Fit:
The Contemporary Fit is a more modern, slimmer fit, designed to hug the body more closely. This style is perfect for those who prefer a more tailored, contemporary look. The tops are narrower and shorter, while the pants provide a sleek, streamlined fit.
- Sizes: XXS-5XL
- Best For: Those who prefer a snug, form-fitting style.
- Sizing Tip: Due to the snug fit, if you are on the borderline of a size, consider sizing up for comfort, especially around the bust and hips.
How to Measure Yourself:
To ensure you choose the right size, we recommend using a tape measure and having a friend assist you for accuracy.
- Chest/Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, making sure the tape measure is snug but not tight and is level around your back.
- Waist: Measure around the natural waistline, the smallest part of your waist. Keep the tape measure relaxed, allowing for some movement.
- Hips: Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips, ensuring the tape measure is level and snug.
- Inseam: Measure along the inside of your leg from just below the crotch to 1 inch below the ankle. This will ensure the correct pant length.
Dickies Size Charts by Collection:
Understanding US vs. AUS Sizing:
When shopping for Dickies scrubs, it’s important to note that US sizing can differ significantly from Australian (AUS) sizing. Typically, US sizes run larger than their AUS counterparts. For example, if you usually wear a size 10 in Australian sizes, you might find that a US size 6 or 8 provides a more accurate fit. This is particularly true for Dickies scrubs, where the measurements for chest/bust, waist, and hips can vary noticeably between the two systems. We recommend using the provided size chart and measuring yourself accurately to ensure the best fit. Keep in mind that if you're between sizes, it's often better to opt for the smaller size, especially since US sizes can be more generous in their fit. Always refer to the size chart specific to the product you’re interested in for the most accurate comparison.
