For coats and blazers I usually go one size up if I want to layer sweaters under them. If a deal looks too good to be true, it usually has some kind of catch. Sometimes I even measure an existing frame with a ruler before ordering anything new. This is why I like reading and posting on forums and community websites. They are simply the ones that fit well and survive many rounds of washing or daily use.
If anyone is interested in real user experiences, I sometimes write short notes about the shops I test.

Clear product descriptions save time and reduce the chance of disappointment. Footwear is even harder because different brands cut shoes very differently. For daily use items I try to balance price, build quality and real user feedback. A good store usually answers questions quickly and does not hide behind canned messages. Of course we all have different taste, but patterns still appear in long discussions. I have learned to avoid items that look extremely different in every product photo. Even a short note like 鈥渢his size runs smaller than expected鈥?can help someone.
Hope this helps someone. |
