The Elder Statesman: How to Find Your Perfect Size & What’s Worth Buying

The Elder Statesman Fit Guide: What to Know

1. Relaxed Knit Sweaters

These items are intentionally oversized—your bust measurement decides the main size. Consider sizing down for a snug fit or staying true-to-size for a boxier shape.

2. Slouchy Cashmere Pants

With elasticised waists, focus on hip measurements. If you're between sizes, go by hip measurement from Tellar for ease and comfort.

3. Shawls & Ponchos

One-size pieces depend on bust width and torso length. Measure accordingly to ensure graceful drape without slipping.
