Annoyingly, a medium T-shirt you might buy from Forever 21 may not fit as well as one you bought from H&M. That’s because fashion retailers don’t have standardized sizes. Still, most people have an idea what size they expect to see on the tag, so that’s where most of us start when we go shopping. However, as you may have noticed, many brands deliberately skew their sizes, based on the idea that people might feel better if the tag on the clothing says a size (or two or three) smaller than they wear in other brands. This is called vanity sizing. Less commonly, sizing can go the other way, where a larger size fits like a smaller one elsewhere, but this typically relates to brands from European or Asian countries versus American ones. And it all means that measurements and fabric cuts at one retailer or brand can be completely different from that of another—and even between styles from the same brand. When in doubt (and especially when shopping online), your best bet is to refer to size charts and use a tape measure. Some clothing retailers, like Zara (listed here), as well as The North Face and Asos, offer a service on their websites called Fit Analytics, which uses algorithms that analyze your measurements to find you the best fit at a given retailer. While it’s difficult to provide strict rules to clothing sizes at many popular retailers, there are a few stores that are notorious for wonky sizing.
