Getting the right size in yoga wear matters more than in most other clothing categories. Fabric that is too tight restricts your postures, while fabric that is too loose can shift distractingly during movement. Here is how to choose your correct size with confidence.
Start With the Available Range
AKISO offers a wide size range to fit different body types. For women, sizes currently run from XS to XXL, while men's sizes run from S to XXL. This applies consistently across women's yoga pants, tops, sets, and the equivalent men's collections.
Use the Detailed Sizing Chart
Because handcrafted cotton garments can vary slightly piece to piece, always check the detailed sizing chart on the product page rather than guessing based on your usual size in other brands. Measurements, not just size labels, give you the most accurate fit, especially since our garments generally run true to size.
Expect Minor Handcrafted Variation
Since every AKISO product is handcrafted, there may be slight variations in measurements from one unit to the next, even within the same labeled size. These differences are typically minimal and do not affect the overall fit or design of the garment, but it is worth keeping in mind if you are choosing between two closely bordering sizes.
Consider the Cut, Not Just the Size Label
AKISO's relaxed silhouettes, like the dhoti-style drape or straight pyjama-leg pants, are designed with generous room through the seat, thigh, and calf, rather than a fitted athletic cut. If you are used to compression-style activewear, you may find you prefer sizing according to your natural measurements rather than the tighter size you would choose in synthetic leggings.
When in Doubt, Size Up for Comfort
Yoga postures require deep folds, twists, and stretches, so a slightly relaxed fit is often more comfortable than a snug one. If you are between two sizes, sizing up generally supports more freedom of movement without sacrificing the overall silhouette of the garment.
Use the Exchange Policy as a Safety Net
If your size still is not quite right once your order arrives, AKISO offers hassle-free exchanges within 7 days of delivery for customers in India, with collection available from your home, work, or preferred address. This makes it easier to try a size at home and adjust if needed. Review full details on our FAQ page.
Reach Out if You're Unsure
If you are still uncertain after reviewing the sizing chart, you can message the team directly on WhatsApp or by email for personalized guidance before placing your order, especially useful for gift purchases or first-time buyers unfamiliar with the brand's fit.
