What Is Sizing Like at Goldbergh? Your Complete Fit Guide

By Ella Blake — Fashion Stylist | Tellar Fashion Hub — Always honest, unbiased & unsponsored

Goldbergh sizing runs true to size — occasionally slightly generous — and is based on EU sizing, so UK shoppers will need to convert down one size from their usual European equivalent. If you normally wear a UK 10, you'll be in an EU 38; a UK 12 is an EU 40, and so on. It's a fairly reliable brand to size once you know the conversion, but there are a few garment-specific quirks worth knowing before you drop several hundred pounds on a ski suit.

I'll be honest with you — the first time I ordered from Goldbergh I nearly came unstuck. I was so distracted by the fact that the jacket came in the most extraordinary burnt apricot colourway that I completely forgot to check the EU sizing and just ordered my usual UK size directly. It arrived too big and I had to go through the whole return and reorder process. Lesson very much learned. Goldbergh uses EU sizing throughout, and if you skip that step, you'll pay for it — not just financially, but in the time lost waiting for the right size to arrive.

Goldbergh Ski Jackets — How Do They Fit?

Goldbergh ski jackets are the brand's hero piece, and thankfully they're one of the more straightforward items to size. The cut is consistently described — including by specialist ski wear retailers — as true to size, and if anything, just a touch generous through the body. This is actually a good thing for skiwear, because you want freedom of movement without bulk.

Order your standard EU size (UK size minus one EU step)
If you're between sizes and plan to wear a thick base layer or midlayer underneath, go up
If you're skiing somewhere mild or tend to run warm, your usual EU size will give a clean, feminine silhouette without feeling boxy
Sleeve length is intentionally slightly long — this is standard in skiwear to cover glove cuffs and is not a sizing error

The tailoring is very much a European silhouette — not overly roomy American sportswear proportions. The waist is nipped and the overall shape is structured and feminine, which is exactly why the brand has developed such a cult following on and off the slopes.

Goldbergh Ski Trousers & Suits — What to Know

Ski trousers tend to be slightly more fitted than the jackets, with a high-rise, streamlined cut that flatters but doesn't leave much room for error in sizing. Again, order your standard EU size — but for one-piece ski suits, I'd always recommend going up one size if you're at all between sizes. A ski suit needs to be comfortable when you're in a full skiing stance, arms forward, knees bent. If it pulls across the back when you stretch, it's too small.

Ski trousers: True to size, high-waisted and form-fitting — measure your waist and hips before ordering
One-piece ski suits: If between sizes, size up — the suit needs range of movement through the shoulders and torso
Petite women: The brand runs from EU 34 upwards; if you're short in the body, the one-piece cut can feel long — check the torso length on the size guide

Goldbergh Activewear & Off-Slope Pieces

Beyond the slopes, Goldbergh also produces activewear, base layers and après-ski pieces. These tend to follow the same EU sizing logic but are cut closer to the body than the outerwear. For base layers and leggings, stick firmly to your measurements rather than going by general feel — a tight base layer that's too small will be uncomfortable under your ski kit all day.

Tips for Getting Your Goldbergh Size Right

Always measure your bust, waist and hips in centimetres before ordering — don't rely on your usual UK dress size alone
Check the individual product description, as Winternational and other specialist retailers note any exceptions per garment
If shopping from the UK directly via Goldbergh's website, be aware that orders ship from the Netherlands and import charges may apply — factor that into your returns plan if you're unsure on size
Several retailers stock Goldbergh in the UK, including Winternational, which offers helpful brand-specific sizing advice alongside their listings

High Street Alternatives to Goldbergh

Goldbergh starts at around £300 for a jacket and rises considerably from there. If you love the look but need something more budget-friendly, here are some genuinely strong high street and mid-market options:

Sweaty Betty — The best high street option for performance ski and activewear with a feminine, fitted cut. Their ski trousers are particularly well-reviewed and the sizing is very consistent.
Lululemon — If après-ski crossover pieces are your thing, Lululemon's base layers and midlayers are exceptional quality and their sizing is reliable and well-documented.
Barbour — For off-slope winter outerwear with a British country feel, Barbour is hard to beat. Not technical ski kit, but brilliant for the mountain village vibe.
Superdry — A solid option for ski jackets at a more accessible price point. Their Snow Series range is well-insulated and they do a great range of sizes including petite.
Fat Face — Great for ski-adjacent knitwear, fleeces and après-ski layers. Relaxed, cosy and very well priced — perfect for the lodge.
The White Company — For luxurious base layers, thermal sets and cosy après-ski loungewear, The White Company is genuinely beautiful quality.
Boden — Underrated for ski and winter occasion dressing. Their padded jackets and knitwear have a smart, put-together feel without the luxury price tag.
Reiss — For après-ski and mountain town dressing, Reiss sits nicely in the premium mid-market space. Their tailored puffer jackets and sleek winter coats are a great Goldbergh-adjacent buy.

Independent Brands Worth Knowing

Poivre Blanc — A French ski wear brand with a long pedigree and genuinely stunning technical outerwear. More niche than Goldbergh but equally luxurious in feel, and beloved by serious skiers who also care about looking good.
Toni Sailer — An Austrian brand with a deeply elegant, old-school alpine aesthetic. If you love the Goldbergh silhouette but want something even more exclusive, Toni Sailer is well worth exploring.

Premium & Luxury Alternatives

If your budget stretches further, Perfect Moment is Goldbergh's closest rival in terms of fashion-forward ski wear — equally stunning, with a slightly more retro-sporty aesthetic. At the absolute top end, Moncler Grenoble is the ultimate ski wear splurge, combining performance technology with high fashion house heritage. Fusalp is worth a mention too — a French brand with impeccable tailoring, though note it runs slightly small for size.
