About The Kooples: Parisian Edge Meets Tailored Precision

Launched in 2008, The Kooples is a French brand that mixes formal structure with a rock-inspired aesthetic. Think:

Fitted blazers and double-breasted coats
Slim jeans and sharp trousers
Soft tailoring in monochrome and muted tones
Luxe dresses, silk shirts and leather jackets

The Kooples blends high-end design with streetwear references, but sizing can vary between their tailored vs relaxed collections—and between menswear and womenswear cuts.

Is The Kooples True to Size?

The Kooples generally runs small, particularly in blazers, trousers, and fitted shirts. Most styles follow a slim European cut, meaning pieces often feel more structured than typical UK high-street brands. Knitwear and casualwear are more forgiving, but dresses and tailoring can feel tight across the bust, waist or thigh.

Fit Overview:

Tailored blazers & coats – run small
Dresses – true to size, often fitted through bodice
Shirts & blouses – slim through arms and bust
Trousers & jeans – often snug at waist and hip
Knitwear – more relaxed but structured
