Extra Large (XL) is a size classification in clothing that typically refers to a garment that is designed to fit individuals with larger body frames. XL clothing is often used as a size category for both men and women and is typically considered to be the largest standard size in a clothing line. The exact measurements for an XL garment may vary between brands, but generally, it is designed to fit individuals with a chest size of around 42-44 inches for men and a dress size of around 16-18 for women. The purpose of the XL size is to provide comfortable and well-fitted clothing for people who may have difficulty finding clothing in smaller sizes.
