Between two sizes in a jogging set for women

Short answer: If you are between two sizes when buying a jogging set for women, choose by how you will wear it. For rest days at home the larger size often gives more comfort, while the smaller one usually looks better when you go out.

Why sizing a jogging set is hard

Jogging sets are cut loosely, so the difference between two sizes is less obvious than in a shirt or a blouse. You still notice it when you sit, bend or lift your arms. That is why it is worth thinking about what you will do in the set before you choose.

Start with your own measurements

Measure your chest, waist and hips and compare them with the size guide for the bamboo jogging sets for women you are considering. If you sit right on the border, upper arm and thigh measurements can help you decide. It is a simple method that takes a few minutes and avoids many returns.

What will you use the set for

If the set is for relaxing, a larger size gives more room and a soft, loose feel. If you are going out the door in it, the smaller size often looks better because the cut appears cleaner. It depends on what matters most to you, not on a fixed rule.

Top and trousers do not have to fit the same

Many people find the top suits one size and the trousers the other. If you can buy the pieces separately, choose the size that suits each one. If the set is sold together, go by the piece that is hardest to get right.

The hoodie as a reference point

If you already own a bamboo hoodie for women, it is a good starting point. If it fits perfectly, take the same size. If it is a little tight or a little loose, go up or down in the new set. Your own clothes often tell you more than a chart does.

Long sleeves and leg length

If you are tall or short, length can matter more than width. Look at where the sleeves end and where the trousers fall at the ankle. If you prefer long sleeves under the set, long sleeve models give an extra layer without making the sweatshirt too tight.

How bamboo behaves after washing

Bamboo viscose can give a little with wear and may shrink slightly if washed too hot. Follow the care label in the set and avoid a high temperature in the tumble dryer. That way you keep the fit you chose and avoid ending up in a size that no longer works.

When you are still unsure

If you are completely unsure, choose the size that feels best when you move in it. If you can put the set on and stretch, sit and walk without noticing it, it is usually the right one. Remember that you can normally exchange it if it does not fit.

Frequently asked questions

Which size should I choose if I am between two

Choose the larger one if the set is for rest and comfort, and the smaller one if you want a neater shape. Your own measurements and the size guide will help you decide.

Can I buy the top and trousers in different sizes

It depends on whether the pieces are sold separately. If they are, choose the size that suits each piece, so the set fits the way you want.

Does a bamboo jogging set shrink in the wash

Bamboo viscose can shrink slightly if washed too hot or dried on high heat. Follow the care label, and the set will best keep its fit and length.
