| Meta Title | Video: How to Measure Shoulder Width - wikiHow |
| Meta Description | wikiHow Quick Video on How to Measure Shoulder Width. To do a standard shoulder width measurement across the back of the shoulders, first put on a shirt that fits well. A tailored dress shirt will work well for this. Stand with your back straight and your shoulders relaxed. Locate the points at the tips of your shoulders where your shoulder meets your arm. If you’re wearing a well-fitting dress shirt, there should be seams that cross these points on both sides, where the arm attaches to the body of the shirt. Have someone measure the distance between these points with a soft tape measure. Ask them to make sure that the tape measure follows the natural curve of your back for a more accurate measurement. Your shoulder measurement should be the widest distance between your shoulders, and it usually falls about 1-2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) below the neckline of the shirt. Either you or your helper should write down the measurement so you don’t forget it. |
