A Chrome Extension
AskYves gives you a personalized size pick and styling advice on any online clothing item — grounded in your body proportions and the taste of an iconic designer. Pick Yves Saint Laurent, Miuccia Prada, or Jonathan Anderson, and shop in their voice.
Why this exists
The way clothes are sold online treats fit as a calculation: here’s a measurement chart, here’s a fit calculator that takes your height and weight, good luck. This works for nobody.
Brand size guides assume you’ll grab a tape measure and circle your chest, your waist, your inseam. You won’t. People stare at a table of numbers, guess based on what they own at Uniqlo, and hope. Roughly half of online apparel returns are sizing mistakes.
When brands offer a “fit finder” at all, it usually asks for height, weight, and age. That’s a coarse version of you. It can’t see that your shoulders are broad, your torso is short, or your legs run long — and two people who answer those three questions identically can wear very different sizes.
Even when an item fits, it doesn’t always flatter. A correctly-sized tee on the wrong proportions still reads off. What works on a 6′3″ lean frame is different from what works on a 5′8″ athletic one, and no chart will tell you that.
AskYves takes one photo, derives your real body proportions with computer vision, and hands the read to a stylist with taste. The size you get reflects both the fit and the silhouette — judgment, not arithmetic.
How it works
01
Upload one full-body photo and confirm height, weight, and waist. AskYves derives your proportions and stores only the derived data — not the raw image — for sizing.
02
On any product page — COS, Uniqlo, Aritzia, SSENSE, Buck Mason, Ralph Lauren — click the Ask Yves button. The extension reads the description and size chart for you.
03
Choose Default or one of three iconic designers. You’ll get a primary size, an alternative for a different silhouette, and styling advice in that designer’s voice. Optional: hear it spoken aloud.
Pick your stylist
Each stylist will likely recommend a different size for the same item — because they’re styling it differently. That’s the point. Sizing is taste, not arithmetic.

“Fitted top, relaxed bottom. Don’t fight the trend, but don’t worship it either.”
1962–2002 · Paris
Sharp tailoring, masculine codes for the feminine, Le Smoking energy. Believes clothing should be armor, not adornment.
“Wear it as armor, not as ornament. Keep the silhouette long and clean.”
1985–present · Milan
Cerebral, ironic, ugly-chic. Anti-glamour intellectual fashion — for the wearer who thinks first and dresses second.
“This is not a flirtatious shirt. It is a thinking shirt. Wear it accordingly.”
Loewe · JW Anderson · Dior Men
Surrealism, craft, gender-fluid, playful weirdness. Treats clothing as object before garment.
“One moment of strangeness, surrounded by quiet pieces. The rest can be quiet.”
A note on privacy
AskYves needs one full-body photo to derive your proportions (shoulder-to-hip ratio, torso-to-leg ratio, build). The photo is analyzed once during onboarding. After that, only the derived numbers are sent on each recommendation — never the photo itself.
Your profile (height, weight, waist, derived ratios) lives in your browser’s extension storage. The garment data scraped from product pages is sent to our backend only at the moment you click “Ask Yves.”
You can delete your profile at any time from the extension popup.
