Between Sizes in Activewear: Size Up or Down? · SOLENE Journal

Pick the failure you refuse

Between sizes, you are choosing a tradeoff. Size down for more compression and risk dig-in or stressed sheer. Size up for softer hold and a calmer waistband.

For SOLENE studio sets, we recommend sizing up when you want easier breath and softer hold, and sizing down when you want more compression. Measure inches first so the choice is informed.

Practice-based tip

Hot yoga and warm rooms often feel better with a touch more ease. Slow Pilates in a cool room can take soft compression. Nude Touch is the softest handfeel option; Seamless Flow is the contour full-length option.

FAQ

What if my bust and hip disagree?

Prioritise the bottom fit for coverage and stay-put, then confirm the crop meets the waistband. Email info@solone.com if you need a second opinion with your three measurements.
