Casquettes et bonnets
Measure your head circumference with a soft measuring tape, one centimeter above your eyebrows and ears. Caps with adjustable straps, snapbacks, or metal loops cover 54 to 61 cm: that's the one size. Fitted models, without adjustment, should be taken to your exact head measurement. Wool or cotton beanies stretch and work across the entire range.
Chaussettes
Socks are chosen by shoe size, not clothing size. A single pair generally covers three to four shoe sizes. If you're on the high end of a size, take the next size up: a sock that's too short will slip down into your shoe after a few hours.
Sacs et sacs à dos
No size to choose, it's the volume that matters. A backpack of 20 to 25 liters holds a 15-inch laptop and a change of clothes, a crossbody bag or fanny pack sticks to the essentials. Check the shoulder strap length and adjustability instead, that's what determines high or low carry.
Ceintures
A belt is sized to your waist measured over your pants, not your body waist. The usual rule is to add 5 cm to your pants size. US sizes engraved on the buckle are in inches: 32 US corresponds to about 81 to 86 cm.
Montres
Measure your wrist circumference just below the bone. A wrist of 16 to 18 cm wears well with a case size of 38 to 42 mm, beyond 20 cm a case size of 45 mm remains proportional. Silicone and nylon bracelets adjust over several centimeters, steel bracelets sometimes require removing a link.
