Our garments are crafted with high-quality textiles that maintain their shape, providing a silhouette that is both flattering and comfortable across a wide range of body types.
How to Measure
To ensure the most accurate selection from our collection, we recommend taking your measurements with a soft, flexible measuring tape. For the most consistent results, please measure while wearing the type of undergarments you intend to wear with the BRIO item.
- Chest: Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape horizontal and parallel to the floor. Do not pull the tape too tightly; allow for a small amount of ease.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, which is the narrowest part of your torso, typically located just above the navel. Ensure the tape is snug but comfortable.
- Hips: Stand with your feet together and wrap the tape around the widest part of your hips and buttocks. This is crucial for ensuring the correct fit in trousers and skirts.
- Foot Length: Place a piece of paper against a wall and stand on it with your heel against the wall. Trace the outline of your foot. Measure the distance from the back of the heel to the tip of your longest toe in centimetres.
- Shoulder Width: Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder bone across the top of your back to the outer edge of the opposite shoulder bone.

Product-Specific Guidance
Footwear & Accessories: For our leather footwear collections, we recommend choosing your standard size. However, if you are between sizes, we suggest sizing up to allow for natural foot swelling throughout the day. For our accessories, such as belts and scarves, most items are designed with a flexible fit to accommodate various dimensions.
Outerwear: BRIO outerwear is designed for layering. If you intend to wear heavy knits or thick jumpers underneath our jackets, we recommend selecting one size larger than your standard clothing size to maintain comfort and mobility.
Trousers & Denim: Our denim range features a fixed waist measurement. If you find yourself between waist sizes, we advise selecting the larger size and utilizing our adjustable-fit features where available.
Sizing Tips
- Measure in the Morning: Your feet tend to swell slightly towards the end of the day. For the most accurate footwear fit, we recommend measuring your feet in the afternoon or evening.
- Consider the Socks: When measuring for footwear, always include the thickness of the socks you plan to wear with the shoes.
- Check the EU/UK Difference: When shopping internationally, remember that European sizes (EU) and British sizes (UK) follow different numerical scales. Always cross-reference with our charts.
- Use a Soft Tape: Never use a metal construction tape for body measurements, as this can lead to inaccuracies. Use a soft, flexible tailor's tape.
- Account for Fabric Stretch: Some of our BRIO collections feature elastane or stretch fabrics. These items may feel slightly more forgiving, but we still recommend sticking to your standard measurement.
- Review the Brazilian Conversion: If you are purchasing items from our Brazilian-sourced collections, please note that Brazilian sizing differs significantly from US and UK standards. Always refer to the specific product description for localized sizing.
- Don't Over-Tighten: When measuring your waist or chest, ensure the tape is flat against the skin but not compressing the tissue. A tight measurement will result in clothing that is too small.
