How to choose the right coat size?
Choosing outerwear by size is not an easy process, especially if there is no opportunity to personally try on a thing. If in everyday life you wear M-ku, this does not mean at all that the size M indicated by the coat manufacturer will suit you. How to be?
Of course, you need to focus on the size tables presented on the site. They usually indicate which measuring system is used, which body parameters correspond to one or another designation. But in addition to digital or letter marks, it is also necessary to take into account the style, material of the product, and features of the figure. If you have a large bust, a coat that fits at the shoulders may be narrow at the chest. For wide hips, products that fit perfectly on the figure at the top may not be suitable.
How to understand that the size of the coat is chosen correctly?
As soon as the opportunity to try on a thing arises, it must be done. You can determine that the size is suitable by the following signs:
- The thing does not sit tight. Outerwear should never be tight-fitting, even if it is a silhouette fitted coat. It should also be borne in mind that in the winter season a sweater will be worn under the coat, and there should be free space between it and the coat. A thing that is too tight not only looks strange, but also warms worse.
- The sleeves are the right length. The best indicator is considered to be a sleeve to the middle of the palm, but not shorter than the base of the thumb. In this case, even when the arm is bent, the sleeve does not become short and does not open the wrist.
- The width of the back is not tight. This indicator can be easily checked in practice by raising your hands to the chest line and closing them in front of you. If you feel like the fabric on the back is too tight, then the size is not right. You should also avoid the reverse scenario - a coat that is too dangling, forming folds and waves.
- Shoulders in place. In different styles, the shoulder seams can be in different places, so you should not be guided by them. An indicator that the coat is too large is frankly hanging shoulders. In this case, the whole image will take on a haggard and “unhappy” look. If the top of the sleeve is wrinkled and puffy, then the thing is definitely small.
- The collar is loose. In winter and in the off-season, a scarf, stole, and scarf are used to protect the most delicate area. If the collar is too tight, it will not work to pry off the accessory.
Don't choose a coat a size smaller in the hope of getting a visually beautiful figure. The effect will be the opposite. Also, a product one size larger will not work - instead of a stylish and fashionable oversized, you will get an out of place looking thing "from someone else's shoulder".
