Practice brand loyalty. Because sizes vary wildly across women’s clothing brands, “it pays to find brands that fit you well” and stick to them. For instance, Theory makes fashionable office wear that favors a slim figure, whereas Banana Republic provides a slightly more generous cut, as does Chanel.
Fit into a crowd. “Country of origin can indicate fit,” so look to Italian brands if you have a slender build, or to German-designed garments if you need “room for broad shoulders.”
