Fashion Questions, London Rag Answers: Match Your Body To The Right Clothes

fashion question 1

A big consideration when shopping is, “does it fit me?”. After grabbing more items than your basket can handle, it’s time to try them on. We typically match our size to what the store provides – either small, medium, large sizes or numbered sizes. If you don’t see your size available, you probably won’t get it. Does this sound like something you do? Well, what if there’s another way you could shop? London Rag prepared a guide for you to understand what to shop for based on your body type, rather than a systemized and discouraging sizing system.
