Understanding Clothing Fit
Clothing sizes are not standardized — a US Medium at H&M, Zara, and Nike can differ by several inches in chest, waist, and length. This is called "vanity sizing," where brands label garments with smaller numbers to make customers feel good.
The most reliable way to find your size is to take your measurements (chest, waist, hips) and compare against each brand's specific size chart. A tape measure and two minutes is all it takes.
If a garment fits well in one area but not another, alterations may be a better solution than changing sizes. A tailor can adjust the waist, hem sleeves, or take in sides for a fraction of the cost of a new item.
