With the development of the Internet, people’s food, drink, housing and transportation are increasingly dependent on e-commerce. Even parents in their sixties are becoming popular with online shopping. In my online shopping list, the most purchased items are all kinds of snacks and clothes of different styles.

When I first started shopping online, I didn’t have a good grasp of my body shape, so I just looked at the size chart on the details page or consulted based on my height and weight. Customer service, it turned out that the clothes I bought often turned over: the sleeves were too long, the bust was too small, or the waist was just too small for the hips… In the end, I had to return or exchange it, which was very troublesome.

As the number of online shopping increases, I have also summarized some tips on how to choose the size of online shopping clothes. Although there are occasional overturns, most of the purchases The sizes that came back were all correct. To sum up, there are probably the following points:

01 / Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you reduce the size of online shopping clothes

The so-called knowing yourself and your enemy, It means to accurately understand your body characteristics and dimensions such as shoulder width, chest circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference, thigh circumference, etc., rather than simply using height and weight as parameters for online shopping. For example, under normal circumstances, a fat girl with a height of 155cm and a weight of about 110-120 pounds will be able to wear an XL size shirt, but if the bust is too large, it is estimated that she will need to increase one size to XXL. If you buy the XL size based on the average body size, the shirt buttons on the chest will appear too tight.

So when you usually buy clothes online, there are usually two reference data on the details page. One is the length, shoulder width, bust, etc. of the clothes. For specific parameters such as waist circumference, one is a size reference table for different heights and weights. Once you know your shoulder width, chest circumference, waist circumference and other data, combined with the specific parameters of each part of the clothes and the body and weight size reference table, you will be able to choose the right size with a high probability.

02 / Increase or decrease the size appropriately according to your body shape characteristics

If you are a girl with a relatively large bust, when other parameters are slightly loose, the bust If the size is just right, it is recommended to buy a larger size directly, because although a tight bust may look sexy, it will be tight if you keep wearing it. Wearing clothes must be comfortable first, followed by sexy and other aspects of needs.

If you are a girl with a thin waist and your hips are just right but your thighs are a little tight, just buy a size larger because A slightly larger hip circumference won’t make much difference, but if your thighs are tightly hooped, it will be uncomfortable.

03 / Measurement data card code or buy the larger size between the two sizes

Sometimes we are shopping for clothes online and checking the details of the clothes. When selecting parameters, you may encounter code jamming. It means that your measurements happen to be stuck at a certain critical point of a certain size. Although it can be worn, it may not be that comfortable. So if you encounter a stuck size, just buy a larger size and it will be more comfortable to wear.

Or if your measurements happen to be between the two size parameters, don’t hesitate to buy a larger size so that you are more comfortable.

04 / Choose clothes of appropriate length according to your height

The same clothes of the same size, even if the measurements are similar, can be worn by people of different heights , the effects are also different.

For example, a dress or a mid-length coat with a skirt length of about 88cm will look taller and slimmer for girls over 165cm tall, but for girls under 158cm tall If a girl wears it, her legs will appear short.

05 / You can consult human customer service

Remember, it is human customer service, not the kind of online robot customer service, because it will only repeat settings The snake oil reply does not solve the problem.

If it is a seller who has the goods in hand, some may help you measure the size with actual objects and give you a reasonable suggestion, but they will usually make a statement. This is for reference only, as they cannot help you determine whether it is suitable.

If it is a drop-shipping seller, they don’t have the goods themselves. They don’t know the specific size and whether it will be off-size, so they ask at this time. They generally give formulaic answers and cannot provide much reference value.

06 / Make good use of the buyer show, buyer reviews and question functions

In the buyer show and buyer reviews, some buyers will truly comment on the clothes The actual situation, you can also learn some size-related information from the side. Also availableUse the question function to inquire about sizing from previous buyers. Of course, this can only be used as an auxiliary method, because everyone basically makes an answer based on their own actual situation, and it may not be suitable for you.

To summarize, everyone’s body characteristics, height, measurements, etc. are different. The above-mentioned precautions for selecting sizes for online shopping are for reference only. There is no guarantee that rollover will not occur 100%, but it can greatly reduce the probability of rollover.
