We answer all your questions

Getting your measurements right is the first step toward the perfect fit. Here's our detailed guide, because a well-fitted garment is your ticket to an impeccable look.

Measurement Basics:

Use a flexible measuring tape
Take measurements in your underwear
Stand straight, muscles relaxed
Have someone assist you if possible

Chest: Wrap the measuring tape under your armpits at the fullest part of your chest. Keep the tape parallel to the ground and complete the circle without pulling too tight. This measurement is crucial for your shirts and sweaters - trust us on this one.

Waist: Measure the narrowest part of your waist, typically around your navel. This measurement is non-negotiable for pants and jackets. Pro tip: breathe normally and resist the urge to hold in your stomach.

Hip: Take this measurement at the fullest part of your hips, about 8 inches below your waist. This is your guarantee for pants that drape perfectly and stay comfortable when you're seated.

Inseam: From your crotch to the floor, this measurement determines your ideal pant length. For best results, measure along the inside of your leg. The right length is the cornerstone of a balanced silhouette - you're welcome.

Shoulder Width: From one shoulder point to the other, across your upper back. This measurement is make-or-break for jackets and shirts. It ensures shoulder seams hit exactly where they should - a detail that separates the well-dressed from the rest.

Sleeve Length: From shoulder to wrist with your arm slightly bent. This is essential for long-sleeve garments, ensuring they're neither too short nor too long. It's these fine points that elevate your look from good to impeccable.

For Specific Body Types:

Broad shoulders? Pay extra attention to that shoulder measurement
Carrying a bit more in the middle? Take your waist measurement where you actually wear your pants
Tall or short? The inseam is your best friend

One last piece of advice: keep these measurements on file. They'll be invaluable for all your future purchases. A well-fitted garment is, without a shadow of a doubt, your guarantee of a masterfully curated look.

Choosing the right size is the foundation of a successful look. Here's our foolproof guide to never getting it wrong again.

First things first: measure yourself.

A measuring tape and two minutes are all you need to get your essential measurements - chest, waist, and hips. You're welcome.Fit makes all the difference. At Lafaurie, we've developed signature fits that adapt to your body type. Stuck between two sizes in pants? Go with the larger one - a slightly looser garment will always feel better than one that's too tight. Trust us on this.Here are some essential checkpoints:

Jacket or shirt shoulders should fall naturally at your shoulder point
Well-fitted pants should feel comfortable when seated
Shirt sleeves should hit at the wrist, while jacket sleeves should show about ½ inch of shirt cuff

Still unsure? Remember, we accept returns and exchanges. Feel free to order two sizes and keep the one that fits best. Without a doubt, the perfectly fitted garment will become your go-to piece.
