Guide to sizes
A guide to finding your right size at Mondo Kaos
You will find a size guide on each product in the photo gallery.
Below we describe how to accurately take your measurements so that you can find out which size to buy.
First of all, you should be aware that most of our size guides are based on your measurements, and not the clothes. Since our clothes in Mondo Kaos are created to fit close to the body, these measurements are usually largely the same as what you should expect based on your body measurements. If you would like more freedom of movement or you would like it to fit smaller, we recommend you go up a size.
How to find your goals:
If you find it difficult to measure yourself, you can measure a piece of clothing that fits as you want it to. The clothing must not have stretch, unless you buy other clothing with the same amount of stretch.
If you take your own body measurements, we recommend that you stand in front of a mirror, this way it is easier to keep an eye on the measuring tape not sitting crookedly and that it is in the correct place.
Chest measurement: Wear your favorite bra / the bra you would use for this particular piece of clothing, and measure all the way around where you are widest.
Waist measurement: Measure your natural waist ie. where you are narrowest. Please note that our clothes are tailored with the natural waist in mind, rather than the lower waist as is the case in modern fashion. This is approx. 2 cm above the navel at the narrowest part.
Measure where the measuring tape is not pulled up or down without the measurement becoming larger, that is your natural waist.
Hip measurement: Opposite waist - where you are widest. For most people, it's not where your hip bones are, but a little further down. Try on where your widest is your hip measurement.
Inseam: Inseam is often used for trousers. It is measured on the inside of the leg, from the crotch down. Or crotch height, from the crotch up to the waist.
We strongly recommend that you measure yourself before ordering. We recommend that you keep in mind that shape is more important than exact size, as certain garments will flatter different types of figures. See our guide to body types HERE!
Variations in size: "Now I've measured and the clothes don't fit anyway!" There will sometimes be variations in the product and product measurements - in the manufacturing industry this is called 'tolerance'. This is due to many factors, including dyeing, fabric type and production of the fabric, which batch of fabric, natural fibers may vary, placement of buttons and the specific craftsmanship. The clothes are made by people and they are measured by people and clothes of the same size when measured can vary.
