How to Measure for a Coat
- Neck: Measure around the base of your neck. Keep the tape slightly loose for comfort.
- Shoulders: Measure across the back from shoulder bone to shoulder bone.
- Bust: Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust. Keep your arms relaxed at your sides.
- Waist: Measure at the narrowest part of your waist, generally an inch above your belly button.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
- Sleeve Length: Measure from the shoulder seam down to your wrist with a slightly bent elbow.
Tips for Finding the Right Coat Fit
- Layering: If you’ll be layering thick clothing under the coat, consider sizing up for added comfort.
- Movement Room: Ensure you can comfortably move your arms and shoulders without feeling restricted.
- Style Preferences: Tailored fits offer a more formal look, while relaxed fits are better for casual, everyday wear.
