Figuring out your sizing can be one of the most frustrating parts of buying from your favorite brands on line. Are you a 34 or a 36? Will a brand's "tailored fit" look like yoga pants, or does their "relaxed fit" fit like 1992? Do you even know how to determine what your fit should be?

A few simple tips can make your experience buying online a more enjoyable one, and assure you that what you receive will, in fact, fit (most of the time).

1. Know your measurements.

This seems basic, but it's effective. Despite the effect of Vanity Sizing, Men’s apparel is still based on actual body measurements such as chest, waist, and inseam. So get out a measuring tape or some yarn and a ruler/phone and figure out your waist, chest, inseam and any other part that has been tricky to fit like your shoulders or thighs. Here are a few basic tips on how to get the actual body measurements brands use to size apparel.

2. Check The Size Charts

Few people have the exact measurements to make them a perfect M or L in a brand. This is why most brands offer size charts with actual body measurements.  Some brands will even offer actual garment measurements. Take the body measurements that you just saved on your phone and compare them to the brand's chart to find your best size.  Follow the garment measurement guidelines below.
