How Long Is Every Piece? The RQFashion Length Guide

Every length on this page is real: each number comes from the factory size chart of the exact piece it describes, measured flat in centimetres, with a stated tolerance of 2 to 3 cm for manual measurement. Knit tops here run 51 to 61 cm from shoulder to hem. Cardigans and sweaters run 52 to 63 cm. Jackets run 55 to 66 cm, and the two camp shirts run long at 71 to 72 cm. Every pair of pants is cut with a 100 to 106 cm side seam and is meant for women 160 cm and taller. This length guide covers all 48 pieces currently live on rqfashion.com, and each row below links to the piece it describes, so you can go from number to product in one tap.

How Were These Lengths Measured?

All measurements are garment measurements, not body measurements. Each piece is laid flat and measured from the highest shoulder point down to the hem, which is the same method we walk through in how to measure yourself for womenswear. Pants are measured along the side seam from the waistband to the hem, which is why our numbers sit near 100 cm rather than the shorter inseam figures many US brands print.

Two things make these numbers usable rather than decorative. First, every chart pairs its length with a recommended height band, so you can check a piece against your frame instead of guessing from a photo. Second, the charts themselves carry an honest note: manual measurement can vary by 2 to 3 cm, and we would rather print that on the chart than pretend tailoring is machine-exact. The same charts live on every product page under the Size Chart button, so the number you see here is the number you will see at checkout.

How Long Are the Knit Tops?

Knit top length is where most of the range lives. The shortest knits in this guide are two 51 cm tops, and the longest is a 61 cm V-neck that reads closer to a tunic. Tops from 51 to 56 cm end at or just below the high hip on a 160 to 175 cm frame, which is the untucked sweet spot we break down in what top length works at 160 cm. Everything from 57 cm up gives you enough fabric for a front tuck without pulling out when you sit.

How Long Are the Cardigans and Sweaters?

Cardigan length decides what a layer can go over, and our range splits into three families. The short crew-neck cardigans at 52 to 53 cm button up neatly and work as tops in their own right. The 55 to 59 cm band is the high-hip workhorse zone, ending just below the hip bone so straight and wide-leg pants both stay balanced. The long sweaters and the lambswool cardigan reach 60 to 63 cm, which on the charts still clears the fullest point of the hip rather than stopping at it. If you layer for cold offices, the aircon-office cardigan guide pairs these lengths with what goes underneath.

How Long Are the Jackets and Shirts?

Jacket length in this guide runs from a 55 cm notched-lapel layer to a 66 cm minimal lapel jacket that reaches low hip. Between those poles sit the 56.5 to 58.5 cm stand-collar utility jacket, the 59 to 61 cm tailored notch-lapel, the 61 to 62 cm new-Chinese collar jacket and the 62 to 64 cm belted utility jacket. The two shirts are the outliers: relaxed camp-shirt cuts at 71 to 72 cm, designed to be worn out over pants, not tucked. On the charts, every jacket and shirt here carries a 160 to 175 cm height band.

How Long Are the Pants?

Pants length here means the side seam: waistband to hem, measured flat. Our cuts sit between 100 and 106 cm, sized for a 160 to 175 cm frame to wear full length at or just above the ankle bone. The faux-leather pair is the shortest at 100 to 102 cm; every other pair runs 103 to 106 cm with a relaxed, stretch-backed waist between 64 and 74 cm depending on size. If a straight-leg 106 cm side seam sounds long, it is the same geometry we unpack in what pants length works for petite women.

One thing we will say plainly: under 160 cm, these pants are not your friends. The charts recommend 160 to 175 cm because the waist-to-ankle drop these cuts are built on simply is not there below that band, and a finished hem on lined trousers is a tailor job rather than a quick fix. Most tops in this guide can still work below 160 cm with a front tuck; the pants will not. We would rather lose the sale than set up a return.

How Do the Two-Piece Sets Measure Up?

Both live sets are measured the same way as separates. The knit set with trousers runs a 57 to 59 cm top over 104 to 106 cm trousers with a 65 to 73 cm relaxed waist, so you can mix its pieces back into your own rotation and know exactly where each hem lands. The one-size outer-layer set is cut as a single size with a 53 cm outer layer, and its chart recommends 160 to 175 cm like everything else in this guide.

Which Length Works at Your Height?

The charts sort into three height bands. Most pieces recommend 160 to 175 cm across every size. Several knit tops and sweaters start S at 160 to 170 cm and move to 160 to 175 cm from M up. The lambswool cardigan asks 165 to 175 cm for its XL, the only 165-floor in the guide. Treat those bands as the contract they are: a 61 cm top that ends at high hip on a 168 cm frame will end nearer the waistbone on a 175 cm one, and the same number reads differently by a hem-point either way. For the full body-position framework behind that shift, see the 160 cm hem-point guide above, and for the numbers on your own frame, the self-measurement walkthrough takes about two minutes.

What If You Are Between Sizes?

Use the height band first and the weight band second. On the charts, S on tops generally carries 80 to 115 kg and M carries 105 to 135 kg; on pants, S carries 80 to 105 kg, M 105 to 115 kg and L 115 to 135 kg, with the exact band printed on each chart. The pieces run a petite-leaning cut against Western sizing, which is about the sizing running small, so if you sit between two weight bands, size up for pants with elastic waists and stay true to size for buttoned cardigans where the placket needs to sit flat. The full decision tree lives in our between-sizes guide.

How Do I Find the Chart on a Product Page?

On every product page, look under the size selector for the Size Chart button with the ruler icon. It opens the same chart this guide transcribes: sizes across the top, garment dimensions in centimetres, recommended height and weight bands, and the 2 to 3 cm tolerance note. One-size pieces show a single F column with the measurements for that one cut. Nothing on the chart is hidden behind a tab or a collapsed accordion.

Why Do We Publish Every Length?

Because fit is the most honest thing a store can publish. A photo cannot tell you whether a hem will clear your hip; a number can. We maintain this length guide as a living page: it covers all 48 pieces live today, and it gets updated as pieces come in. Pair it with the size conversion page for letter-size mapping across US, UK, EU, SG and MY labels, and the measurement walkthrough if you are building your own reference card.

Length Guide FAQ

Are these garment measurements or body measurements?

Garment measurements. Each piece is measured flat, shoulder point to hem for tops and outerwear, waistband to hem along the side seam for pants. To compare against your own frame, measure a piece you already own the same way and line the two numbers up.

What does the 2 to 3 cm tolerance mean for my size choice?

It means two sizes 1 cm apart on paper are effectively the same garment, and it means you should not choose between M and L on a 1 cm difference. Use the height and weight bands printed next to the length instead; they absorb the tolerance.

I am 158 cm tall. Can I wear the pants in this guide?

Honestly, we recommend against them. Every pants chart here recommends 160 to 175 cm, and below that band the waist-to-ankle drop the cut is built for is not there, so the hem pools and tailoring a finished hem costs more than the difference is worth. Most tops can still work with a front tuck; we would rather tell you this straight than process the return.

Does RUIJIN sizing run petite?

The sizing runs small against typical Western labels, which is why the charts give height and weight bands in centimetres and kilograms instead of vague letters. Many customers who wear M in US brands take an L here. Check the band, not the letter.

Will this length guide be updated?

Yes. It covers all 48 pieces live today and is updated as new pieces land, with each addition transcribed from that piece's own factory chart under the same tolerance note.
