Fit and body

Start with the fit problem you want to solve.

Brand sizes are not standardized. Use these guides to compare measurements, proportions, support, coverage, and comfort.

Use current measurements

Measure the areas requested by the brand and compare them with the chart for the exact item. Rise, inseam, torso length, band construction, and fabric stretch can matter as much as the size name.

Check fit through normal movement

During an allowed indoor try-on, breathe, reach, sit, bend, and move gently. Look for rolling, slipping, pulling, rubbing, or restricted movement, and keep tags attached until you understand the seller's return policy.
