How to choose clothing, shoes & jewelry

Use the size chart, not your usual size. Brands size differently. Measure chest, waist and inseam (or foot length for shoes) and compare to the chart on the listing.

Read the fabric. Cotton breathes, polyester blends resist wrinkles, and a little stretch makes fitted pieces more comfortable. Check care labels if you want machine-washable clothes.

Check the return policy before you buy, especially for shoes, so trying a second size is easy.

Quick checklist

• Measured against the size chart
• Fabric and stretch
• Machine washable
• Return and exchange options

How do I pick the right size online?

Measure yourself and compare to the brand's size chart on Amazon. If you are between sizes, the listing's fit notes usually say whether to size up.
