One of the coolest things of today’s digital world has got to be online shopping. You have a world of designs and styles right at your fingertips!
Instead of looking for hours at a retailer, you can just navigate on your favorite brand, pick your garment and have it right at your door!!
(Let’s not forget the excitement of waiting for your clothes to arrive).
But let’s talk about the not-so-great part of shopping online:
Finding the perfect size!
It’s like playing the guessing game; sometimes you base your decision on how the garments look on the model, sometimes you just pick randomly any size without noticing the fabric, and sometimes you just stare blankly at the garment and don’t make a move at all.
It can be overwhelming and sometimes frustrating, but don’t give up just yet!
We have some tips when buying your ragwear piece online to help you choose the right fit and avoid the hassle of returning a garment.
Keep them in mind and hopefully, it will help you in the future.
MEASURE IS KEY.
The best way to know your fit is to grab a soft measure tape and measure yourself! After having your measures, visit our special size guide to help you, and keep in mind the following details:
For chest: Measure around the fullest part.
Waist: The slimmest part of your waist.
Hips: The strongest part of the buttocks (usually 20cms below waistline).
KNOW YOUR MATERIAL.
There are two things that you should know before choosing your ragwear piece:
Your style preferences and the fabric of the garment.
If you prefer a loose, oversized fit is better to choose garments with less elasticity. They are usually jersey styles or fabrics like viscose, cotton, or linen. The measure is usually bigger than your body size because they are made to make you feel the most relaxed ever.
Our MASCARPONE DRESS is perfect if you are looking for a more breathable, oversized style dress.
MALLORY ORGANIC top with linen and cotton is a relaxed fit as well.
TALIN trousers, made with 100% viscose give you the ultimate comfort.
Our classic MINT top is perfect for you if you like a more straight, regular style.
NEDIE tee fits with your body shape, without being too tight.
SOFFY ORGANIC shorts made with recycled polyester and cotton are also a good choice.
Our GINY CHEVRON and LESKY leggings mix of polyester and elastane are the best example.
CHECK THE MODEL
We all have different body shapes, and that’s beautiful! That’s why we recommend you look for the measurements of the model as a guide to see if your fit will be the same as theirs.
If you are shorter than the model, and you see that garments are a bit cropped to the model, then they will fit you perfectly fine, if you are curvier, then some garments will fit a bit tighter. Just remember that whatever you choose must make you feel good!
WHAT YOU LOVE IS THE KEY
When you are in front of a garment, ask yourself first:
Will I wear it more than once?
Does it fit my style?
Can I make many looks with it?
Always keep in mind that buying a garment requires the use of resources and time, so asking yourself these questions will help you stay focused and make a conscious decision that will lead you to a happy online shopping experience.
(And when you are happy, we are happy 🤗).
Have fun!
