Good fit is not a single number. In co-ords and long shirts, the right size should balance clean proportion with enough ease to move, sit and live comfortably.

Measure before choosing a size

Use a soft tape to measure bust, waist, hips and shoulder width. Keep the tape level and comfortable, then compare your measurements with the size guide for the specific garment.

Understand garment ease

Body measurements describe you; garment measurements describe the finished piece. The difference is ease. Relaxed co-ords need room without looking oversized, while a long shirt should fall cleanly without pulling across the bust or hips.

Check the most important area first

Choose the size that best fits the widest or least flexible part of the silhouette. A tailor can often refine a loose waist or sleeve, but adding room where fabric pulls is more difficult.

Use length intentionally

Shirt and trouser length affect the entire proportion. Consider your height, preferred footwear and whether you like a straight, cropped or elongated look.

When between sizes

If your measurements sit between two sizes, review the fabric and intended cut. Non-stretch cloth and tailored shapes may benefit from the larger option; relaxed silhouettes can offer more flexibility.

Frequently asked questions

Should a co-ord fit loosely?

What if my top and trouser sizes differ?

Check whether separate sizing is available, or choose for the less flexible area and alter the other piece if needed.
