About Trussardi: Quiet Elegance with Italian Structure

Founded in 1911 and rooted in leather craftsmanship, Trussardi now offers:

Sophisticated tailoring and outerwear
Minimalist separates and structured dresses
Polished accessories and footwear
A heritage Italian sizing system (IT 38–48 = UK 6–16)

While the design ethos leans timeless, the fit often reflects Italian proportions—slim, elongated, and structured.

So, Does Trussardi Run Big or Small?

In general:

Trussardi runs small, especially in fitted jackets, structured trousers, and tailored dresses. The cuts are clean and close to the body, so sizing up is often necessary—especially for UK shoppers unfamiliar with Italian tailoring.

👗 Dresses

Darted busts, high necklines, and cinched waists
Many styles are lined and fitted through the ribs
Fit tip:Size up if you’re busty or have a wide ribcage

🧥 Blazers & Outerwear

Narrow through shoulders and arms
Often tailored with sharp lapels and clean lines
Fit tip:Size up for movement or layering

👖 Trousers & Skirts

Structured waistband, often high-rise
Cut for a slim hip, with minimal stretch
Fit tip:Use Tellar to assess waist-to-hip fit—essential if curvy

👚 Knitwear & Casual Tops

Fit tip:True to size, but size up for a relaxed fit

Final Thoughts: Trussardi Sizing Is Clean and Structured—But Runs Small
