SIZING & FAQ

Here is your one-stop shop to understanding Second Thoughts' sizing and how we recommend you shop.

Sizing Curation

Every single piece we use is upcycled from a secondhand piece, so we don't have a say in the original size or fabrication beyond curating it for ST. We are intentionally small batched to avoid overbuying secondhand, so we select pieces that range in size to make sure we could cover as many bases as possible. The goal is for the majority of our pieces to be flexible in sizing and never be fitted to just one size or body type.

Sizing

STRETCH WAIST BUTTON DOWN: Each button down gets a dual size, for example M/L. This is thanks to our four rows of stretch that allow the fit to truly feel custom. The second size listed (in this case, “L”) represents the maximum intended fit. That means if you’re on the higher end of this option, the garment will still fit comfortably but with a more snug, cinched look—especially around the waist.

If you prefer a looser fit or want less waist cinch, you can size up. The piece will still maintain a flattering, waist-centered shape, just with a more relaxed feel.

Think of it like this:

• M/L fits best on Medium to Large body types.

• If you're a true Large, the fit will be snug and more contoured.

• If you're between sizes or prefer ease and drape, consider sizing up.

We have a generalized size chart featuring the approximate waist correlation for each button down.

XS/S: Fits waists from 24"-28" (typically corresponding to women's sizes 0-4)

M/L: Fits waists from 28"-32" (typically corresponding to women's sizes 6-10)

XL/XXL: Fits waists from 32"-36" (typically corresponding to women's sizes 12-16)

MICRO MINI SKIRT: Similarly to our button downs our micro minis utilize a dual size as you can determine where you prefer it to sit. The second size listed (ex. M/L in this case, “L”) represents the maximum intended fit and would sit higher meaning more snug on your hips. For a low rise fit we’d recommend sizing up, and for a more snug fit sizing down or staying at your true size. Please see our approximate size measurements for our micro minis:

• XS/S: fits hips 34”–36” (typically corresponding to women’s size 0–4)

• M/L: fits hips 38”–41” (typically corresponding to women’s size 6–10)

• XL/XXL: fits hips 43”–46” (typically corresponding to women’s size 12–16)
