How to Choose the Right Size and Style at Peruvian Connection

Updated

Peruvian Connection organizes its site so you can narrow down style before you worry about fit: start from a Collection (Fall, Winter, Holiday, Occasion wear, Alpaca, Peruvian pima cotton, Signature PC, and others), then move into a category (dresses, sweaters and knits, outerwear, pants and jeans, skirts, sleepwear, tees and tops, jewelry and accessories, luxe home). Use New arrivals to see what just dropped and Customer favorites to see what other shoppers return to. For sizing specifically, the site's own navigation points you to a Style guide; that is the page to open before ordering, because the product listings themselves don't publish a size chart in the menu structure.

Step 1: Decide the style direction first

The site is built around collections rather than a single "shop all" grid, so picking a collection is the fastest way to filter.

If you want… Start here
Seasonal dressing Fall collection, Winter collection, Winter whites
Occasion or evening pieces Holiday, Occasion wear
A material-led look Alpaca clothing and accessories, Peruvian pima cotton, Shearling/leather & suede
A specific aesthetic Jacquards, Jersey clothing, Original prints, Out west, Blues, Colors trend: espresso, Animal inspired, Better basics
The brand's core staples Signature PC, Tried & true sweaters

Two practical notes from the site's own labeling:

  • "New arrivals" vs. "Customer favorites" appear as separate entry points inside most categories. New arrivals tells you what's current; Customer favorites tells you what has staying power. If you're unsure about a silhouette, Customer favorites is the lower-risk browse.
  • Men's is marked "(New!)" in the navigation, so the men's assortment is a recent addition rather than a long-established line. If you're shopping for men's sizing, treat it as a newer category and check the Style guide rather than assuming it mirrors the women's fit.

Step 2: Get the size right

The navigation includes a Style guide under Collections. That is the page to consult for fit and measurement guidance before you commit to a size, since the category menus themselves don't display sizing tables.

Because the brand's identity is artisan-made, luxury apparel inspired by Andean textile traditions, fit can vary by material — a structured shearling or leather piece and a fluid jersey or pima cotton piece won't behave the same way in the same labeled size. A workable approach:

  1. Open the Style guide and note the measurements for your usual size.
  2. Compare those numbers against a garment you already own and like, measured flat.
  3. For knitwear and sweaters, decide whether you want a close fit or room to layer — this matters more in the Fall/Winter and Holiday collections, which are built for colder-weather layering.
  4. Check the product page for the specific item's material before finalizing, since alpaca, pima cotton, jacquard, and shearling each drape differently.

Step 3: Confirm region, currency, and access before you buy

The site lets you Update country/region and shows these options:

  • Canada (CAD $)
  • Germany (EUR €)
  • Italy (EUR €)
  • United Kingdom (GBP £)
  • United States (USD $)

Set your country and currency first — prices and available shipping destinations follow that selection, so browsing in the wrong region can mislead you on both cost and delivery. The site also offers email signup with 10% off your next order and describes "early access to exclusive offers," which is worth taking if you're planning a first purchase.

Login is available from the main navigation if you already have an account.

Common snags to expect

  • Sale has two tiers. The navigation separates "All New markdowns" from "Final markdowns." Final markdowns are typically the deepest discounts and the least likely to be restocked or returned under normal terms — check the return policy on the product page before buying from that section.
  • Category names repeat across menus. "Dresses," "Outerwear," and "Sweaters and knits" appear under Clothing, under Sale, and sometimes under Collections. Make sure you know which section you're in, because the same category name leads to different inventory depending on whether you entered it from full price or Sale.
  • Jewelry and accessories is broad. It spans bags, belts and sashes, bracelets, earrings, footwear, hats and gloves, legwear and socks, necklaces, rings and brooches, and scarves/shawls/wraps. If you're matching an accessory to a garment, browse the accessory category directly rather than relying on a collection page to surface it.

A quick decision path

If you want the shortest route to a confident purchase: pick your country/region, open the Style guide and note your measurements, choose a collection that matches the season or material you want, then browse that collection's Customer favorites before looking at New arrivals. That order keeps you anchored to proven fits and known materials rather than chasing the newest drop first.
