What Is Sizing Like at Luxe Leopard?

Sizing at Luxe Leopard isn't one size system at all — it's a curated boutique stocking dozens of different labels, so your size genuinely changes from brand to brand, and the only reliable move is to check each individual brand's chart before you add to bag. I know that's not the tidy one-line answer you were hoping for, but it's the honest one, and once you understand how the sizing splits up it actually becomes very easy to shop. Let me talk you through it like I would a client standing in front of my rail.

First, what kind of shop is it?

Luxe Leopard is a premium, beautifully edited Kent-based boutique selling elevated contemporary womenswear, resort and lounge — think American Vintage, Essentiel Antwerp, Varley, Commando, Day Birger et Mikkelsen and Ralph Lauren under one roof. Because it's a multi-brand edit, there is no house "Luxe Leopard size." Each label keeps its own measurements, and the site very sensibly gives you a separate chart for every brand. So the skill here is reading the brand, not the boutique.

The general rule: most labels are true to UK sizing

The good news is that the majority of what Luxe Leopard stocks sits on familiar UK womenswear sizing — an XS lands around a UK 8, an M around a 12, and so on. If you usually know your number on the high street, you'll be in roughly the right ballpark for most of the rail. The variance is at the edges, and that's where I want to save you a return.

Where it gets tricky — and what to do about it

The Scandi labels run small. Day Birger et Mikkelsen, Levete Room and Samsoe Samsoe start their XS at a UK 6 rather than an 8. These brands are cut on a slimmer, sample-size frame, so if you're between sizes or fuller through bust or hip, size up. I learned this the hard way years ago with a gorgeous Samsoe blazer that I optimistically bought in my "usual" — couldn't fasten it. Lesson logged.
The relaxed labels run generous. Devotion Twins and Lollys Laundry dresses are designed to be worn oversized, so the site flags them as generous. Take your usual size, or even consider going down one if you don't want the full billowy effect.
A few styles come up genuinely huge. The Seventy + Mochi oversized pieces (the Juno jacket and Pablo shirt in particular) are flagged as coming up very large — the boutique itself recommends downsizing, even when you want the slouchy look. Trust them on that one.
Denim is sized by the inch. Paige and Mac jeans go by your waist measurement, not your dress size. Grab a tape measure, measure your natural waist, and match the number. It's far more accurate than guessing off a label.
Activewear and shapewear are stretchy and sculpting. Varley, Commando and The Upside are built to move with you, so they're forgiving — but Commando leggings and intimates size on your actual waist and hip, so check those rather than defaulting to a dress size.
Footwear is EU-converted. HOFF, Shoe the Bear and Freedom Moses run on standard EU shoe sizing, so use your usual EU number and you'll be spot on.

My single best tip: measure your bust, waist and hip once, keep those three numbers in your phone, and check them against whichever brand chart you're shopping. Luxe Leopard also lists a phone number and email on their size guide for fit questions, which I always think is the mark of a boutique that actually cares. And with free shipping over £150, it's worth getting the size right first time rather than gambling.

If you love the Luxe Leopard look, shop these too

Luxe Leopard's whole vibe is elevated, Scandi-leaning contemporary with a resort softness. If that's your aesthetic, here's where else I'd send you across every budget.

On the high street:

COS — the closest high-street match for that minimalist, architectural Scandi feel. Brilliant for clean separates.
Whistles — polished, modern tailoring and effortless dresses that sit beautifully alongside the premium labels.
Massimo Dutti — quietly expensive-looking knitwear and leather; punches well above its price point.
Me&Em — clever, flattering cuts and one of the best sizing systems on the high street for real bodies.
Mint Velvet — relaxed-luxe edit that mirrors Luxe Leopard's lounge-meets-day mood perfectly.
Hush — soft, Scandi-ish loungewear and easy dresses; ideal for the lounge-and-leisure side of the boutique.
Sweaty Betty — the high-street answer to Varley for elevated activewear that doubles as off-duty kit.
Jigsaw — grown-up, quality contemporary pieces with a lovely fabric story.

Premium contemporary:

Ganni — the Copenhagen cool-girl label; a natural step up if you fall for the Scandi side of the edit.
By Malene Birger — elevated Danish design with the same refined, print-led sensibility.

Luxury & designer:

Totême — Scandi minimalism at its most refined; investment pieces that last decades.
Max Mara — for the camel coat and tailoring that anchors a whole wardrobe.

Two left-field independents worth knowing:

Aspiga — a small, sustainability-led British label doing gorgeous resort dresses and prints; perfect for the beach edit.
KITRI — an independent London brand known for distinctive, limited-run pieces that feel far pricier than they are.
