Choosing the Right Cut and Size for Optimal Comfort
Shoulder lines, body length, and breathing room: our guide to choosing flattering pieces that never compress your body.
Key Takeaways
- The shoulder seam should sit perfectly on the acromion bone for a classic fit.
- A well-designed pattern leaves 2 to 3 cm of breathing room around the chest.
- On the Kourawy mobile app, every single article includes its own dedicated sizing chart.
The comfort of a garment does not depend solely on its fabric; it stems first and foremost from how well the pattern fits the lines of your body.
For tops (t-shirts, polos, shirts), the primary reference is the shoulder width. When the sleeve seam rests exactly at the edge of your shoulder, the garment falls naturally without pulling across your back. For a relaxed or contemporary style, a slightly dropped shoulder adds comfort without losing structure.
In terms of length, a well-proportioned basic should cover the beltline by about 5 to 7 centimeters when raising your arms, ensuring you don’t have to constantly readjust it throughout the day.
For all future orders on the Kourawy app, you will find precise measurement tables in centimeters to select your matching size with absolute confidence.
