Quick facts, with sources
Fit fact
Sizes vary between brands
The international sizing standard ISO 8559-2 notes that companies use different sizing systems, so different size labels can fit people with identical or very similar body measurements.
Your measurements are a more reliable guide than the letter on a label. Fit Yangu matches you by centimetres.
Fit fact
Good sizing starts with the body
ISO 8559 bases size designation on body measurements taken in a defined way, so a shopper who knows their own measurements can choose garments that fit.
Measure once, in store or at home, and use those numbers for every purchase.
Fit fact
Fit drives returns
Retail surveys consistently report incorrect size or poor fit as the leading reason shoppers return clothes bought online.
Ordering the right size first time saves you a trip back and a second delivery.
Fit fact
Fabric holds on to germs
A 2020 systematic review of laboratory studies found that some bacteria survived at room temperature for up to 90 days on cotton and mixed fibres, and up to 206 days on polyester.
Clothes that only you try on stay cleaner. Fit Yangu keeps every garment untouched by other shoppers until it reaches you.
Fit fact
Humidity helps germs last longer
The same 2020 review found that most bacterial species survived better on textiles at higher air humidity.
Store clothes dry and well aired, and wash new garments that others may have handled.
Fit fact
