Clothing Tips:
-
European clothing often fits slimmer than US sizing; if you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up.

Check the product description for notes on fit, such as "slim fit" or "oversized".

For tailored items like blazers or dresses, pay attention to bust, waist, and hip measurements.

Shoe Tips:
-
Designer shoes from Europe (Italy, France) tend to run slightly narrow. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up.
-
Some brands (like Loro Piana, Ferragamo, and Gucci) offer half sizes; if available, select your half size for a better fit.
-
If you have wider feet, consider sizing up by half a size in European styles.

Belt Tips:

To find your perfect belt size, add 2 inches to your waist size.

Belt sizes are usually measured from the buckle to the middle hole.
-
For designer belts, it's best to refer to the sizing guide as luxury brands may vary slightly.

- Design: Shopping tote silhouette with the Balmain Paris logo
