How do you guys decide on what size clothing to buy when you’re shopping online.

There are a few online-only stores I’d like to try, but they don’t have free returns.

    Know your body measurements, but also the measurements of your clothing. For example, I have a 47.5" waist. So I assumed that a pair of pants laid flat with a waist measuring 23-24" would fit. Not so. When I measure the waist of the pants that fit me best, it’s 21".

    If the store you want to try is pricy, maybe you can find some of their items secondhand on places like poshmark or thredup to start. You still can’t return, but at least you’re not spending as much to figure out their sizing.
