Does This Brand Run Small, Large, or True to Size?

Author: Stylist and brand team at TellarDate: 2025

The technical reality:

There is no global sizing standard. Brands independently decide their fit profiles.

Some brands (like Zara or Reformation) are known for running small, while others (like Nike or H&M) can run larger than expected. Even within a brand, vanity sizing and target demographics affect sizing (e.g., teenage-focused brands often fit smaller).
