Fit guide

How to measure yourself, read our size charts, and pick the right fit on the first try.

01

How to measure

Take measurements over light clothing with a soft tape and relaxed posture.

  • Bust: around the fullest part of the chest.
  • Waist: around the narrowest part of the torso, just above the navel.
  • Hips: around the fullest point, typically 20cm below the waist.
  • Inseam: from the inner thigh to the ankle bone.
02

Reading our size charts

Every product page lists detailed measurements for that specific style. When your body falls between two sizes, default to the larger size for tops and outerwear (for easy layering) and the smaller size for knit stretch fabrics.

03

Still not sure?

Use the Find my size assistant on any product page — it recommends a size based on the measurements you enter. Or email support@valinoshop.com and we will guide you.
