Find the balance
A strong pattern can anchor an outfit without filling every part of it. Pair a patterned layer with quieter trousers, or let a smaller accessory carry the colour. When comparing pieces, inspect the placement of the print and use the specific garment’s dimensions to judge the fit.
Read the garment, not just the label
Check the composition, garment measurements and care instructions for the particular piece. Similar names can describe different cuts across collections. Measure a garment you enjoy wearing laid flat, then compare the chest, length, waist or inseam as appropriate. Keep any care treatment consistent with the label.
