Fitting Tips:

Letter sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL) can vary between brands - always check numerical measurements
For tops, if you're between sizes and prefer a fitted look, size down; for a relaxed fit, size up
For trousers, choose your size based on waist measurement first, then consider leg length
Stretchy fabrics offer more flexibility in sizing than structured materials
When in doubt, check the specific garment's fabric composition and fit description
Men's dress shirts are sized by collar and sleeve - measure carefully for the best fit
Athletic or slim fit styles typically run smaller than regular or classic fits
