How to Measure Yourself for Nara Smith Apparel
To get accurate measurements, grab a soft measuring tape and follow these steps. It's best to measure over underwear or thin clothing for precision.
Step 1: Measure Your Chest
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it horizontal. For men, measure just under the armpits and across the shoulder blades. For women, measure at the bust line. Keep the tape snug but not tight. Write down the number in inches.
Step 2: Measure Your Waist
Find your natural waist. That's the narrowest part of your torso, usually above your belly button and below your ribcage. Wrap the tape around that area. Don't suck in your stomach. This measurement helps with fitted t-shirts and hoodies.
Step 3: Measure Your Hips
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks. This is useful if you're considering oversized hoodies that might hit at the hip. The tape should be level all around.
Step 4: Measure Your Sleeve Length
Start from the center of your back, just below the neck. Run the tape across your shoulder and down to your wrist. This ensures hoodie sleeves end at the right spot. For t-shirts, you can skip this or use your shirt length as reference.
Pro tip: If you're between sizes, consider the fit you prefer. For a relaxed look, size up. For a tailored look, size down. Nara Smith's cotton blends have minimal shrinkage due to pre-shrunk fabric, but always check the care label.
