This is due to the fact that brands make clothes for other target groups, and thus use different clothing forms. To avoid confusion when ordering clothing online, use a size chart. In this article, we&#8217;ll show you how to do it right by ordering from MerchUp!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I know what size I am &#8211; why do I need a chart?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we mentioned above, size L in one manufacturer, may be equivalent to M or even S in another. That&#8217;s why <strong>it&#8217;s always a good idea to study the size chart provided on the store&#8217;s website before placing an order.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most such charts give body measurements, which you need to compare to your own.  <strong>At MerchUp, we have improved this process and provide the measurements of the finished garments, not the body.<\/strong>  So you will know the length of the sweatshirt or its sleeves. Thus, you can easily adjust the size to your preferences and body shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-find-the-size-chart\"><\/span>How to find the size chart?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In most online stores, the table is located below or next to the product being sold.<\/strong>  Sometimes, however, you have to look for it in the bookmarks or on the manufacturer&#8217;s website. Taking these few seconds will help avoid later returns and your annoyance, another misguided purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Zrzut-ekranu-2023-10-25-o-13.56.37-735x495.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14639\" style=\"width:585px;height:368px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Zrzut-ekranu-2023-10-25-o-13.56.37-735x495.png 735w, https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Zrzut-ekranu-2023-10-25-o-13.56.37-300x202.png 300w, https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Zrzut-ekranu-2023-10-25-o-13.56.37-768x518.png 768w, https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Zrzut-ekranu-2023-10-25-o-13.56.37-122x82.png 122w, https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Zrzut-ekranu-2023-10-25-o-13.56.37-100x67.png 100w, https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Zrzut-ekranu-2023-10-25-o-13.56.37.png 1430w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/EN-size-chart.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check out our size chart<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-take-measurements\"><\/span>How to take measurements?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prepare a centimeter tape, or if you don&#8217;t have one, use it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>rolling measure,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>string, which you then compare with the ruler,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ruler app for phone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, choose your favorite sweatshirt and compare it with the values in the table. To measure the width under the arms, lay the sweatshirt flat with the sleeves straight. Then apply a tape measure between the two armpits, where the seams join (as in the image above) and read the measurement. Do not turn the blouse inside out and double the value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The result may differ slightly from those given in the table.<\/strong> <strong>You should then choose the size that is closest to it.<\/strong> If the result ranks exactly between two sizes, for example, the length of the blouse is 71 cm (M &#8211; 70 cm, L &#8211; 72 cm) then choose according to your preferences. If you prefer more fitted clothes &#8211; a size smaller, and if looser &#8211; a size larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the same way you can match other clothes, for example. T-shirts or pants. All you have to do is look at the pictures under the tables and take the appropriate measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-if-i-want-to-order-an-oversized-product\"><\/span>What if I want to order an oversized product?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want a very loose fit, check out the oversize sweatshirts, which were created precisely to provide the wearer with maximum comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"merchup-block-gallery merchup-block-gallery--grid\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/6.jpg\" class=\"merchup-block-gallery-item big\" data-fancybox=\"merchup-block-gallery-9e2e2699db9d6afed95e53b88faa853f\" data-thumb=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/6-96x72.jpg\" title=\"Show full image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/6-397x588.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"397\" height=\"588\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/1-1.jpg\" class=\"merchup-block-gallery-item small\" data-fancybox=\"merchup-block-gallery-9e2e2699db9d6afed95e53b88faa853f\" data-thumb=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/1-1-96x72.jpg\" title=\"Show full image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/1-1-397x289.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"397\" height=\"289\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/4-1.jpg\" class=\"merchup-block-gallery-item small-2\" data-fancybox=\"merchup-block-gallery-9e2e2699db9d6afed95e53b88faa853f\" data-thumb=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/4-1-96x72.jpg\" title=\"Show full image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/4-1-397x289.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"397\" height=\"289\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/5.jpg\" data-thumb=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/5-96x72.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" data-height=\"1200\" class=\"merchup-block-gallery-item--hidden\" data-fancybox=\"merchup-block-gallery-9e2e2699db9d6afed95e53b88faa853f\">\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/15.jpg\" data-thumb=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/15-96x72.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" data-height=\"1200\" class=\"merchup-block-gallery-item--hidden\" data-fancybox=\"merchup-block-gallery-9e2e2699db9d6afed95e53b88faa853f\">\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/16.jpg\" data-thumb=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/16-96x72.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" data-height=\"1200\" class=\"merchup-block-gallery-item--hidden\" data-fancybox=\"merchup-block-gallery-9e2e2699db9d6afed95e53b88faa853f\">\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/17.jpg\" data-thumb=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/17-96x72.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" data-height=\"1200\" class=\"merchup-block-gallery-item--hidden\" data-fancybox=\"merchup-block-gallery-9e2e2699db9d6afed95e53b88faa853f\">\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/19.jpg\" data-thumb=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/19-96x72.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" data-height=\"1200\" class=\"merchup-block-gallery-item--hidden\" data-fancybox=\"merchup-block-gallery-9e2e2699db9d6afed95e53b88faa853f\">\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"merchup-block-gallery-more\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"count\">\n\t\t\t\t+5\t\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t<span class=\"text\">\n\t\t\t\tGo to gallery\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember to look at the size chart before ordering.
