Find the balance
A small motif, an unexpected proportion or a contrasting panel can change how a familiar garment feels. Begin with the piece itself rather than trying to recreate a full look. Different lines and collaborations should be considered separately when checking sizing and materials.
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.
