How to Choose the Right Size
Step 1: Take Your Measurements
Grab a soft measuring tape and a friend (or a mirror). Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level and snug but not tight. For your waist, measure at the natural waistline (usually just above your belly button). For hips, measure at the widest point.
Write down these numbers in inches. Now you're ready to match them to the size chart.
Step 2: Understand the Fit
For the Dropout Classic T-Shirt ($24.99), the fit is a "relaxed unisex" cut. That means it's not slim-fit, but it's not boxy either. Most people find they wear their usual size. If you like a looser fit (especially if you plan to layer), go up one size. If you prefer a more fitted look, stick with your measured size.
The Dropout Premium Hoodie ($49.99) runs slightly oversized - it's meant to be comfortable. Many fans size down if they want a less baggy look. The Dropout Polo Shirt ($34.99) has a more tailored fit, so if you're between sizes, size up. The Dropout Tank Top ($19.99) fits true to size with a relaxed arm opening.
Step 3: Consider Shrinkage
Most Dropout merch is pre-shrunk, including the 100% ring-spun cotton of the Classic T-Shirt. Still, we recommend washing in cold water and tumble drying on low to preserve the fit and print. If you're between sizes, go up to be safe.
Step 4: Check User Reviews
On each product page, customers often share their height, weight, and usual size. These real-world reviews are gold for confirming your choice.
