The size on your favorite item's label may not match another brand's size. Use your body measurements in centimeters.
Every brand publishes its own chart. Find it on the product page and compare with your measurements.
If your measurements fall between two sizes:
For fitted clothes — choose the larger size
For loose fit — the smaller one will work
Real buyers often share their measurements and the size they chose.
Cotton shrinks 3-5% after washing
Synthetics keep their shape
Wool may stretch
| Material | Shrinkage | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| 100% cotton | 3-5% | +1 size |
| Cotton/polyester | 1-2% | Standard |
| Synthetics | 0% | Standard |
