1.Basic Fit Chart

Standard Commuter Style: Height 165-175cm: M (Chest 104-106cm/Length 70cm); Height 175-185cm: L (Chest 108-110cm/Length 71cm). Standard shoulder width 44-48cm; sleeve length calculated as height × 0.41 ± 3cm.

Oversized Trendy Style: Size S (Shoulder width 50cm/Chest 122cm); Size XL (Chest 134cm, allow 8cm for movement). Shorten the length by 3-5cm, pair with high-waisted pants to reshape proportions, V-neck design optimizes shoulder and neck lines. Prioritize cable knit or ice silk blend fabrics.

 

2.Avoiding Pitfalls with International Brands:

For European and American brands, go down 1-2 sizes (6cm larger chest); for Japanese and Korean styles, go up 1 size. Trendy Style Notes: American-style loose fits are perfect for streetwear; Korean-style slim fits pair well with high-waisted bottoms; Japanese-style fitted waists are suitable for layering with blazers. Yak wool versions have a 3% reduction in bust size; wool blends require choosing one size up.

 

3.Weight-Based Size Formula:

125-140 lbs: S (bust 96-100cm); 145-160 lbs: M; 165-180 lbs: L; 185-200 lbs: XL (bust 114-124cm)

 

4.Size Selection Tips for Different Occasions:

Business Occasions: Allow 4cm for bust size, wear a 3cm high-neck sweater underneath. Fitness Body Type: Add 3cm to bust size for a wider fit; V-neck accentuates the collarbone; cinched waist... Tightening and Finishing
Winter Layering: Size 1.5 plus, 80-count wool base layer + cable knit + down jacket
