Worth buying multiple sizes? - YouLookFab Forum

I am looking to buy some knit tees I absolutely love the fit and color of from Torrid. And... they're all on clearance to boot. As my weight continues to shift, I am wondering if it's worth purchasing more than my current size. I mean, I really love the fit of these tees more than anything else I've tried-on in some time.

Sadly, these tees aren't worth thrifting off Poshmark, etc. due to the mark-up most sellers do.

I'm purchasing the Girlfriend Tee, photo 1. And also their elbow sleeve tee (photo 2) -- in a luscious drapey rayon blend that is surprisingly not clingy.

I'm making a style shift and that has surprisingly made me lean toward wearing tees for the first time in maybe 20 years?? FWIW, I do think the elbow version is more "me" but I like the Girlfriend Tee too. I am planning to layer them with a belted cardigans, biker jacket, blazer, etc.

How do you all shop with weight shifts and buying (or not) multiple sizes?

I do not think it’s worth it, simply because weight loss or gain is not alway proportional. You may find at the next size down that the top doesn’t drape or lay the way it does in its current version. Trust that you’ll find something else you really like.

I would wait because these don't seem like they will disappear so quickly - they are a super useful item not a trend piece.

Here's my thought--if it is a tee, you will use it. If there are two of them, you will use both. If you can afford two sizes, get them. How I am, I would wear the better fitting one, and then three days later realize I need the other one to throw on for the post office. I bet you would use them all!

I bought Uniqlo U white t-shirts in two sizes, not for the reason of weight fluctuations but because I like more fitted t-shirts under cardigans and looser fit to wear on its own. Worked for me, they are not expensive. I don’t know if it possible to predict how it would fit once your weight shifts. Worth trying if it’s not a budget issue.
