Depends - body frame: Also important is your body "frame" - small/medium/large: you can refer to body normograms. A simple trick: wrap your thumb and middle finger around your wrist - if they cross you're a small frame, if they touch you're "medium, " and if they cannot touch you're a "large" framed individual.
