How to Pick the Right Size When Buying Clothes Online in Bangladesh
A practical size guide for buying clothes online in Bangladesh — how to measure at home, what numbers matter for tees, hoodies, trousers and shoes, and when to size up.
Measure once, get it right forever
The single biggest reason online clothing orders get returned is guessing a size from the label. Ignore the letter; trust the numbers. Grab a measuring tape (or a string and a ruler) and note three numbers: chest, waist and hip. For shoes, stand on a sheet of paper, mark heel and toe, and measure the length in centimetres.
Keep these numbers in your phone's notes. Every size chart on AlvoWear lists exact centimetres — compare against your numbers, not against the size you wore in another brand.
- Chest: measure around the widest point, tape level, not tight
- Waist: measure at the natural waist, relaxed breath
- Shoe: foot length in cm + 0.5cm comfort margin
When to size up
Size up for oversized cuts if you want the intended boxy look, and for heavyweight hoodies you plan to layer over tees. Size down only if the chart says you sit between sizes and you prefer a closer fit. When in doubt on footwear, round up half a centimetre — Bangladeshi summers swell feet by evening.
If it still does not fit
Keep tags attached and the original pack. Message the WhatsApp line with your order ID and the measurement issue — exchanges are fastest when the product is untouched. Check the FAQ for the current exchange window.
