We need to talk about size
Finding the right size for your clothes can be tricky, especially with so many brands having different size charts for their styles. Easily someone can be a size 4 in one brand, but an 8 in another. But remember, the number on the tag doesn’t define you. You deserve to have clothes that fit you properly and make you feel amazing, and sometimes you may need to size up or down to achieve that. I want to guide you in how to find your perfect size and why it’s about more than just a number.
Be kind to yourself
I understand how frustrating it can be to need a larger size than you're used to or expect. Remember, the only person who sees the tag number is you; others only notice how well your clothes fit. Be kind to yourself and realize you're more than just a number. It might be tough, but once you embrace the idea that you're more than your size, you can enjoy all the benefits of wearing clothes that truly fit you.
Size charts are your best friend
When it comes to figuring out your sizing, think about a piece of clothing that fits you really well. For example, if you have a blazer that fits nicely, check the size chart on that brand's website. Next time you're shopping for a blazer, choose the size that matches the measurements of the blazer that fits you well. This will make shopping much easier because you won't be fixated on sizes anymore; you'll know the measurements that work for you and ensure you get the same fit every time. The same applies to pants. Remember, if you're going for a high waist or low waist fit, the measurements will change. Some people have a smaller waist than their hips or vice versa, so make sure to prioritize the larger measurement for the best fit. For instance, I have a larger waist compared to my hips, so I always focus on the waist measurements when shopping for pants. Also, pay attention to the length; the inseam is important too. It's better to have it slightly longer than too short because you can always get it hemmed, but you can't add fabric to make it longer.
So Remember:
Be kind to yourself.
You are more than the size number on your clothes.
The size chart is your best friend.
Clothes should primarily fit on the larger part of your body. You can always adjust something that’s too big, but you can never adjust something that’s too small.
What number will you work on?
