How to Measure
- Chest & Bust: Wrap a flexible measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest. Ensure the tape is positioned horizontally across your back and stays level around your circumference. Do not pull the tape too tightly; leave enough room for a comfortable breath.
- Waist: Locate your natural waistline, which is typically the narrowest part of your torso, situated just above the navel. Wrap the tape around this area, keeping it parallel to the floor. For a more relaxed fit, ensure the tape is snug but not constricting.
- Hips: Stand with your feet together and wrap the tape around the widest part of your hips and buttocks. This is crucial for ensuring that our streamlined trousers and bottoms provide the intended silhouette without restriction. Foot Length: To find your precise footwear size, place your foot firmly on a piece of plain white paper. Trace the outline of your foot, keeping the pencil vertical. Measure the distance from the back of the heel to the tip of your longest toe in centimetres.
- Consistency: For the most accurate results, we recommend performing all measurements at the same time of day. For footwear, measuring in the evening is ideal, as feet tend to expand slightly throughout the day.

Product-Specific Guidance
The Minimalist Essentials (Tops): When selecting from our range of tops, focus heavily on the chest measurement. Our designs are intended to maintain a clean, streamlined silhouette. A measurement that is too loose can compromise the minimalist aesthetic, while a measurement that is too tight may disrupt the intended drape of the fabric.
Structured Bottoms: For our trousers and waist-focused accessories, the waist and hip measurements are paramount. We recommend ensuring your waist measurement is precise to maintain the structural integrity of the garment's rise and fit, which is essential for our functional, modern look.
Lifestyle Footwear: Our footwear collection is designed for all-day comfort. We strongly advise using the centimetre-based foot length measurement provided in our charts. Because our designs focus on ergonomic functionality, an accurate foot length ensures that the internal volume of the shoe accommodates your foot without unnecessary pressure.
Sizing Tips
- Always use a soft, flexible tailor's tape for all body measurements to avoid errors caused by rigid measuring tools.
- If you find yourself positioned between two sizes in our clothing range, we recommend selecting the larger size to ensure a more relaxed and comfortable fit.
- When measuring your waist, do not pull the tape too tightly; allow for a small amount of "breathing room" to ensure the garment does not constrict your movement.
- For the most accurate footwear selection, always measure your feet in the evening, as natural swelling occurs throughout the day.
- Consider the thickness of your socks when determining your footwear size; if you prefer heavier socks, you may wish to size up.
- Ensure that the measuring tape remains perfectly horizontal around your circumference; a tilted tape can lead to an incorrectly small size reading.
- When measuring hips, ensure your feet are together to provide a consistent baseline for the tape's path.
