Navigating sizing for your style upgrade
Understanding clothing and shoe size conversions can be incredibly useful, whether you’re shopping at international boutiques or brands in Australia, or shopping in Australia as a visitor from abroad.
It's no secret that Australian sizing lacks consistency. You might find yourself fitting into a size 12 in one brand and a size 16 in another. The variations in sizing can even extend within the same brand, making the process of finding the right fit quite challenging.
Navigating sizing becomes more manageable when you have the assistance of a personal stylist who can help you find the best size and shape that complements your style. A personal stylist can offer invaluable guidance in choosing the right size and ensuring the perfect fit.
It's crucial to remember that each brand, both Australian and international, may have its own unique sizing standards, so it's essential to pay attention to their specific sizing information and charts. Due to the lack of uniformity in sizing between brands, we haven’t included specific measurements in these tables. Instead, we encourage focusing on how the garment fits on your body rather than getting fixated on the number.
When shopping online, it's essential to know your body measurements, especially bust, hip, and waist, and compare them with the brand's sizing chart. This approach can increase the chances of finding the most suitable size and minimising the need for returns or exchanges.
When in doubt, don't hesitate to reach out to the brand's customer service for assistance.
Alternatively, you can consult with a personal stylist on your size, who can take your measurements, liaise with stores, and recommend the best size for you.
