Size Reference Guide
Your Guide to an Effortless Fit
Shopping should be fun, not stressful! We've ditched the guessing game and created this friendly guide to help you find your perfect fit. Every body is unique, so we pair your measurements with real team profiles so you can shop knowing your new favorites will feel amazing.Step 1: Find Your Baseline Measurements
Before looking at our brand charts, grab a soft measuring tape and use our quick checklist below.
-
Bust: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest. Tip: Wear your favorite everyday bra (not a sports bra or a push-up) for the most accurate fit.
-
Waist: Measure around your natural waistline (the narrowest part of your torso, usually about an inch above your belly button). Tip: Breathe naturally—don't suck it in! We want you comfortable all day long.
-
Hips: Stand with your feet flat and completely together, then wrap the tape around the widest part of your hips and glutes.
-
The "Two-Finger" Rule: Don't pull the tape tight against your skin. You should easily be able to slide two fingers flat underneath the tape. If it’s pulling or digging in, loosen it up just a bit!
-
Keep it level: Always look in the mirror to make sure the tape is flat and level all the way around your back.
- Check the size charts: Each brand has their own size chart in the product info
Between sizes? If your measurements fall right between two sizes on our charts, think about how you like your clothes to fit. Prefer a tailored look? Size down. Love a cozy, relaxed vibe? Size up!
Step 2: Meet Our Hometown Style Models
The best way to find your size? See how it looks on a real person! We use our own team to test-drive every single piece that comes through our doors. Find the model who closest matches your frame to use as your personal sizing reference.
Step 3: Check the Product Description "Fit & Sizing" tab
Once you know your measurements, always check the specific product page description before hitting checkout!
Because fabrics and cuts vary, we add custom Fit Notes to every single item on our website. Find the tap in the description which will tell you:
-
The Vibe & Cut: Whether it's a tailored fit, a relaxed everyday staple, or meant for versatile layering.
-
The Fabric Stretch: High-stretch, structural denim, or lightweight and flowy.
-
Our Real-Life Tweaks: We will explicitly note if an item runs perfectly True to Size, or if our team recommends sizing up or down for the best fit.
