ALTERNATIVE APPAREL

Below you will find Alternative’s size charts. Based on your measurements, this will determine your size for all of our products. If you need help finding your measurements, please scroll down, you will find our model diagrams to show you how and where to find accurate measurements.

How do I find the size/fit I need?

For Women And Men: When selecting tops/tees, we recommend that you use the chest/bust measurement to best determine your size. When selecting bottoms, we recommend using the waist measurement.

For Babies And Toddlers: We recommend you use height as the best determining factor for your child’s size. You can always choose one size larger – remember, those kids are always growing!


Once you have found your size (please note that your size for women or men may be different than your size in unisex items), please refer to the item’s fit located in the item description.

Slim Fit: This garment will fit very close to the body and hug your curves. Good to wear as bottom layer. For a more regular fit, buy one size larger.

Regular Fit: This garment will skim the body. It will not be too loose or too tight.

Oversize Fit: This garment will be loose and roomy, and it will drape over the body. For a more regular fit, buy a smaller size than normal.

All measurements are listed in inches.
