Dressing Room Gymnastics

Before you buy a piece of clothing, ensure it works for you while moving (not just standing straight up). So while it might feel a little silly, do some dressing room gymnastics:

• Sit down

• Bend over

• Squat down

• Do some jumping jacks

• Try any other key movements you’ll need to do in this clothing

If it passes the tests (and meets any other criteria you have), buy it!

If not, you could try to tailor it (often cheaper than you’d think) or keep looking.
