Size Guide

A size guide translates a store’s sizes into measurements and fit notes, helping shoppers order right the first time.

What a size guide is

A size guide translates a store’s sizes into measurements: charts, measuring instructions, model reference, and fit notes, linked from the product page where the size is chosen.

Why size guides matter

Wrong-size orders are the return machine of apparel and footwear. Every shopper the guide gets into the right size is a return, a refund, and a disappointment that never happens.

Confidence also converts: shoppers unsure of their size often don’t order at all.

What a good size guide includes

  • Garment and body measurements, clearly separated
  • How to measure, in plain steps
  • Fit notes: runs small, true to size, relaxed
  • Model height and size worn, per product photo

Frequently asked questions

Where should the size guide live?

One tap from the size selector, opening in place. A guide buried in the footer helps nobody at the moment of choice.

What do review fit-mentions add?

Ground truth. The chart says what should fit; dozens of customers saying “size up” says what does. Surfacing those mentions next to the selector closes the loop.
