How to Measure for the Perfect Fit
- Chest/Bust
Position the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest or bust. Keep the tape straight & pass it underneath your arms. The tape should feel snug but not tight. - Waist
1. Your waistline is usually just below your rib cage & slightly above your belly button.
2. Stand up straight, breathe normally & wrap the tape around your waist. - Hips
Stand with your feet together & use the tape measure, to measure around the widest part of your hips & buttocks. - Height
In bare feet, stand up against a wall with your heels together & back straight. Measure from the top of your head down to the floor.
The overall fit may vary based on the item's cut, style, and fabric.

Other Sizing Considerations
Fit Preference
When choosing any item of sportswear, keep in mind how you generally prefer your clothes to fit, and specifically your active sportswear. If you are going to play sports in your FORZA clothing, then you are more likely to want an athletic, close-fitting style, and opting for a size down might be a good idea. If you are using FORZA clothing more for leisure, and/or you generally prefer a looser fit, then consider choosing a bigger size.
Layering & Seasonal Considerations
When buying sportswear, it can help to consider what you might be wearing - if anything, underneath a given item of clothing. If you are buying multiple tops that you will layer specifically for winter for example, you may need to consider buying a size up for comfort and mobility.
Wash Correctly to Avoid Shrinking & Damaging Clothes
Always check the label for a given garment to ensure you are following the correct care instructions. Generally speaking, to keep sports clothes looking their best, when washing, turn the clothes inside out and wash colours and whites separately.
Pre-soaking the any stained clothes, in cold water for 30-60 minutes to help lift and remove dirt. You can also add a presoak product to help preserve the vibrancy of the clothes' fabric, but make sure it is safe to use with colours or whites, and sportswear. Wash at 30 °C with a clothes detergent. Avoid overloading the machine and once the washing machine has finished its cycle, air dry the clothes whenever possible. Tumble drying can reduce the longevity of your sportswear.
