The Everyday Style School

Stop Making These 5 Fit Mistakes


Listen Later

This season, we're focusing on the fundamentals, and there's nothing more fundamental to your style than fit. 

In this episode, I’m breaking down the most common pitfalls I’ve seen over the years that make great wardrobes look just okay, instead of amazing. Fit mistakes are sneaky. They show up in the way sleeves hang, in how fabrics skim (or cling), in the numbers we get attached to, and in the “quick fixes” that actually make things worse. The good news? Once you know what to look for, these mistakes are easy to spot, and even easier to avoid.

By the end, you’ll see fit differently—and that shift alone can change everything about how your wardrobe works for you. You’ll stop wasting money on “almost right” pieces, and start building outfits that feel good and look polished, straight off the hanger.

In this episode:

  • Why sizing up for a "relaxed look" doesn't work the way influencers say it will
  • The key info you should be looking for online to end up with clothes that fit well
  • What you need to know about sizing
  • How things like fabric content play a role in a garment's size and fit
  • How to look at tailoring as investment, instead of just an added expense

I hope this episode encourages you to slow down the next time you shop, and really look at how clothes fit on you. Try different cuts, pay attention to fabric, and practice spotting the small details that make the biggest difference. A little extra awareness here will give you more outfits you love, and a lot less stress in front of the mirror.
