If you want a more formal jacket, choose a formal one you already have. If you're looking for a more casual sport jacket, find one that already fits you well. If you don't have a similarly-styled jacket, ask similarly-sized friends or relatives if they have anything similar to what you're looking for, and if you can try it on. Button or zip it up, and make sure the sleeves are not bent. To get accurate measurements, the fabric should be as flat as possible. Connect the lowest points of the armpit seams using your measuring tape. Multiply this number by 2, and you have your chest circumference. Starting from the base of the collar, measure straight down to the bottom hem of the jacket. If you like the length of this particular jacket, you can use this measurement to look for jackets of a similar length. Again, it's really a stylistic and personal preference there is no perfect jacket length that you should look for. Start your tape measure at the center of the back of the jacket, right below the collar. Then, run it down the length of the sleeve, ending your measurement at the cuff. With the coat still facing back side up, flatten the shoulders and measure the distance between the 2 shoulder seams. You don't want the shoulders to be too tight-fitting or too loose. Look up the dimensions of the jacket you want to buy and use the measurements you just took to find which size is right for you. Brands tend to vary a lot, so it's best to find the measurements that are unique to the brand you're buying from.

Summary: Choose a well-fitting jacket that is of a similar style to what you want to buy. Lay the jacket, facing up, on a flat surface. Measure the width of the chest and multiply it by 2. Find the length of the jacket. Flip the jacket over and measure the sleeve length. Find your shoulder width. Match the measurements you've taken to a product sizing guide.

A good place to sew the first seam across your wig is right behind your ears and extending up and over the top of the back part of your head. Use a comb or your fingers to part the wig hair running from one ear to the other and going up and over the top of the back part of your head. If you are using a frontal wig, then the lace will usually end just behind your ears. This should make it easy to part your wig. Insert your weave needle through the wig and into the braid underneath it. Be careful not to sew down too far or you may stick your scalp with the needle. Continue sewing in a straight line from one ear to the other. Make the stitches about " (1.3 cm) apart. If you are using a frontal wig, then sew along or near the back edge of the frontal. This should be just behind your ears since frontals are only about 4" (10 cm) wide from front to back. The next place to sew the wig is the area in front of your ears near your temples. Most natural hairlines come to a point in this area. Sew along the edges of the wig in this area to secure this part of the wig in place. The last places you will need to sew are areas where you do not normally part the wig hair. This will ensure that the seam will be hidden while still securing your wig across the top of your head. Locate a couple of areas where you never part your wigs and part the wig hair using a comb or your fingers. Then, sew across the parts. For example, if you always part your wig hair down the center, then you can part the wig hair to the side and sew along this area going from the front to the back of the wig. Then, part the wig on the opposite side and sew across the wig in the same way. Be careful not to sew too far back. Stop before you reach the crown, or else the stitches might show. After you finish sewing your wig in place, cut the thread away from the needle and then tie it into a knot. Cut the excess thread off from the knot as well.

Summary: Part the wig hair just behind your ears going up and over your head. Sew into your braided natural hair from ear to ear. Sew into the hair in front of your ears. Part the wig hair where you wouldn't normally part it and sew. Cut and tie the thread when you finish sewing.

The less often you have to wash dark clothing, the better. Before throwing on dark clothes, make sure you're clean yourself. Putting on dark clothes when you're sweaty or messy will get your clothes dirty faster, meaning you'll need to wash them more often. Invest in a small tube of stain remover, which you can buy at any drugstore or department store. If you get something on your clothing while wearing it out, promptly apply the stain remover according to package directions. Spot treating stains and spills in the moment will result in you needing to clean clothing less often. Cleaning or doing yard work is bad for dark clothing. If you do work that requires kneeling, it'll fade out the knee area. Yard work, scrubbing the floors, and similar tasks should be avoided when wearing dark clothes. You can wear dark clothing more than once before washing it. However, rotating your clothes will keep them fresher longer. Never wear the same dark garment more than one day in a row. Rotating clothing will prevent damage and cut down on the need for washing.

Summary: Make sure you're clean before wearing your clothes. Carry sprays to treat stains promptly. Avoid doing chores in dark clothing. Rotate your clothes.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend one leg at the knee and bring it behind you. Keep the rest of your body relaxed. Slowly crouch into a half-squat position on the one foot that is planted. Do this while your torso gradually bends forward. Flex your hips at 30 degrees. Your knees should be bent at 60 degrees and your ankle should be flexed at 25 degrees. This will generate the most power without injuring your knees. Let your arms hang loosely at your sides while you crouch into the half-squat. They'll provide a lot of momentum when you jump, so don't keep them in front of you or above you before you jump. You don't need to spend lots of time meditating on your jumps before doing them, but it helps to visualize the steps you'll take. Visualize the push-off and see yourself leaping in the air toward (or over) your target. You'll be focused on the series of steps and tasks you're about to complete, ensuring a successful jump. As soon as you've crouched forward, immediately spring up into a high jump. Push off from the ball of your foot. Extend your hips, knees, and ankles as far and as quickly as you can. Swiftly bring your arms behind your back. When you start to jump up, powerfully swing your arms forward and up into the air. This should help propel you up and provide momentum. Land on the balls of your feet rather than on your toes. Make sure to land with your knees bent and slightly aligned forward. Both of your legs should equally accept the weight of your landing. This will absorb the shock of hitting the ground and prevent knee injury.
Summary: Position your feet. Bend forward slightly. Pay attention to your arms. Visualize your jumps. Spring upward into a jump. Swing your arms while you jump. Control your landing.
