Does Crew Clothing Run Large?

Author: Stylist at TellarDate: 2025

Does Crew Clothing Run Large?

  • Tops and Shirts: Generally true to size, but with a relaxed British cut, meaning they can feel a little roomier, especially around the shoulders and bust.

  • Knitwear: Tends to be slightly generous, especially in classic crew necks and cable knits.

  • Trousers and Jeans: Usually true to size, though some customers find them snug on the waist but relaxed on the hips/thighs.

  • Dresses: Often run true to UK sizing standards, but the cut is tailored for a more mature or curvier silhouette compared to brands like H&M or COS.

  • Men’s sizing: Classic British fit—slightly broader in the chest and shoulders, with standard sleeve and hem lengths.

If you're between sizes or prefer a fitted look, you may want to size down, especially in tops or jumpers.


📏 Crew vs Other Brands – Women’s Sizing Example

Let’s say you’re a UK 12 in Zara. Here’s how that might compare:

Brand

Size Fit Comparison

Zara

Often comes up small, closer to UK 10

COS

Looser fit but short in body

& Other Stories

Fitted through the waist and bust

Crew Clothing

True UK 12 or generous fit

Crew’s UK 12 is generally a standard bust 96cm, waist 78cm, hips 102cm, but with added ease built into more relaxed styles.


🧵 Fabric Considerations

  • Stretch Fabrics (e.g. cotton elastane blend polos, jersey dresses): These can stretch and feel more generous.

  • Structured Fabrics (e.g. twill shirts, wool-blend coats): Stick closely to actual measurements and run more true to size.

  • Knitwear: Particularly roomy in styles like the Harbour knit or Breton jumpers. Some shoppers find it slouches over time unless layered.

👗 Real User Fit Feedback (Summary)

  • “Size 14 usually, fits well in Crew’s dresses and blouses—might even size down to 12 in relaxed fits.”

  • “I’m a busty UK 10, and Crew’s size 10 tops give me just enough room. Zara is always tight in the same size.”

  • “Men’s polos run true, but the arms are longer than in Superdry.”


Final Verdict

Crew Clothing runs true to size but can feel roomy, especially in knitwear and relaxed tops. It's cut with the British customer in mind—offering more room in the bust, waist and hips than many fast-fashion or European brands.
