Recognizing Fit
During a closet analysis and editing process, one of the questions my clients get stumped on is “Is it a good fit?” Although something might fit, as in not too big or too small, it does not necessarily constitute a good fit. As mentioned in a previous post. A good fit “sits well.” This means that the garment is almost “hugging” the person in the most important places–the neck, the shoulders, the chest, and the upper back. This description is usually reserved for formally tailored garments, but it is strongly suggested that almost any clothing item that isn’t strickly beach-related or sports oriented or reserved for gardening should “sit well”
Recognizing a Good Fit
- A good fit is one in which your body makes contact with a garment in a way that does not feel intrusive or flimsy. The garment should touch you in a way that feels as though it is a part of you.
- One of the most effective ways to ascertain whether a garment fits you well is to be aware, from the moment you try it on, of how your body responds to it–or doesn’t. Don’t become emotionally attached to a garment that does not fit well. Don’t talk yourself into buying something because you like the color or the price tag!
- A good fit can change the way you hold your body. For instance, if your jacket fits high and snug under your arm, as it should, you will achieve a look that appears more defined, and you will probably stand with your chest slightly pronounced.
- If a shirt or blouse stands away from your neck, it doesn’t fit. If the lapel of your jacket is either caving in or billowing out, it doesn’t fit.
- Trust yourself. When you find yourself in a dressing room, become aware of when you feel good. Move around in the garment. Raise your arms, sit down, walk, and return to the question “How do i feel?”
