Do you have doubts about ordering your size when shopping online?

How not to end up ordering clothes online that fit you like a sumo wrestler or, worse, like you stole clothes from your five-year-old nephew.

First, a life reality: human beings have the amazing ability to remember only what suits us.

For example, you surely still remember those glorious days when you wore a size 44.

But, curiously, you forget that the last jeans you bought were a size 48.

And of course, when placing an online order, you confidently go for that 44. Fatal mistake!

Let's be honest: size 44 is history, just like those pants that mysteriously disappeared from your closet (probably because they no longer fit you).

So stop blindly trusting that selective memory of yours and do the most sensible thing: grab a tape measure! 

Yes, you read that right, a tape measure! It's not for DIY, it's to properly measure those hips before hitting the "buy" button.

If you're going to order pants, take out that pair that makes you feel like a star (the one you wear to all the parties), button them up well and measure the waist from side to side.

Then, compare that measurement with the size chart. That's the master trick! 

And what about shirts, t-shirts, or polos?

The procedure is almost the same.

Take the tape measure, wrap it around your chest just below the armpits, and make sure to leave a finger's width of space between the tape and your skin.

You wouldn't want the shirt to fit so tight that you can't even breathe, right? 

So you know, my good friend: before diving into online shopping, measure well and say goodbye to those unpleasant surprises when the package arrives.

Because, let's be honest, there's nothing worse than opening a box with excitement and finding clothes that don't fit even with Vaseline. 

Listen to me and measure before ordering!

Your future self will thank you (and so will your pants).
