What Is Sizing Like at Rohe?

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

Rohe runs in European sizing (34–44) and sits true to size for most women, with a slightly slim, streamlined cut that rewards accurate measurements — particularly through the bust and shoulders. If you're between sizes or carry volume in the chest, sizing up is the smarter call.

I'll be honest — I came to Rohe fairly late. I'd clocked it on a few model-off-duty shots, dismissed it as another minimalist brand doing its best Totême impression, and moved on. Then a client wore one of their blazers to a fitting and I genuinely had to ask what it was. The construction was immaculate. The fabric had that quiet, expensive weight that you only really appreciate up close. I've been paying close attention ever since.

Founded in 2020 by Rachel Comey's long-time collaborator Julia Heuer, Rohe is a Berlin-based label with a very specific point of view — precise tailoring, thoughtful drape, and a colour palette that veers between muted and striking with enormous confidence. It's the kind of brand that doesn't shout, but once you see it, you can't unsee it.

How Does the Sizing Actually Work?

Rohe uses EU sizing throughout, which is standard for a European luxury label. Their range runs 34 to 44, covering UK 6 through UK 16. Here's how that maps across:

Fit by Garment Type

Rohe doesn't do "one size fits all" laziness — the fit varies meaningfully depending on the garment category, which is part of what makes the brand interesting. Here's what I've found:

Tailoring (blazers & trousers): This is where Rohe really earns its reputation. The blazers run slim through the shoulder and chest — if you're broader across the back or have a fuller bust, take one size up. The trousers tend to be cut for a longer torso, so petite women may need hemming. The waist is generally forgiving.
Dresses: These vary by silhouette. The more structured, boxy shapes run true to size; the fluid, draped styles are quite generous and you could easily size down if you prefer a cleaner line. Pay attention to the bust measurement — that's usually where fit becomes decisive.
Knitwear: Rohe's knits are relaxed in intention but not oversized by design. They run true to size with a slightly boxy drop. I wouldn't size down expecting a fitted look — that's not the brand's language.
Skirts: Generally true to size. The wrap and pleated styles offer a little more flexibility across the hips, which is helpful if you're between sizes there.
Outerwear: True to size with enough room to layer a fine knit underneath. If you're planning to wear a thick jumper or blazer beneath, size up.

Tips Before You Buy

Measure your bust first. This is where Rohe's slim cut is most unforgiving — their structured pieces don't have much ease built in. If you're between sizes on bust measurements, go up.
Check the fabric composition. Rohe works across linen, silk, wool, and technical fabrics — each behaves differently. Their linen pieces relax slightly with wear; the tailored wool pieces do not.
If you're petite (under 5'4"), be prepared to have trousers and some dresses altered. The brand cuts for a longer, more European body proportion.
Don't rely on your usual EU size alone. I'm a consistent EU 38 across most European brands but I've sized up to 40 in a Rohe blazer before without a second thought. Always check the specific measurements for each piece.

The Aesthetic — What Rohe Is Actually For

If you're building a wardrobe around pieces that will still feel relevant in ten years, Rohe belongs in the conversation. It sits in a very specific lane — more considered than Totême, more wearable than some of its Berlin contemporaries, and with a quiet authority that reads extremely well in professional and social settings alike.

The brand doesn't do trends. What it does instead is proportion. A Rohe jacket draped slightly off the shoulder, or a pleated skirt hitting just below the knee — these feel deliberate in a way that a lot of contemporary luxury simply doesn't anymore. It's understated, yes, but it has a point of view.

My honest advice? Start with a blazer or a skirt. Those are the pieces where Rohe's quality is most immediately apparent and where the brand's sizing is most consistent. From there, you'll develop an instinct for what works for your body and how to size accordingly.

High Street Alternatives to Rohe

Love the Rohe aesthetic but not quite ready to commit at that price point? Completely understandable — here are the brands I'd point you towards for that same clean, considered, European minimalism:

COS — The most obvious starting point for Rohe admirers. Similar architectural proportions and a devotion to restrained colour. Sizing is consistent and true to European standard.
Massimo Dutti — Particularly good for tailoring. Their blazers and trousers offer real quality at a fraction of the Rohe price, with a clean, European sensibility.
Whistles — A reliable British option for elevated basics and structured pieces. Particularly strong for workwear separates with a quieter, more considered edge.
Reiss — Excellent for tailoring and occasion-ready pieces. Their cut is sharper and more fitted than Rohe, but the quality-to-price ratio is genuinely impressive.
Me&Em — A brilliant British brand for high-quality everyday separates. The fit is consistent, the fabrics are better than the price would suggest, and the aesthetic sits comfortably in minimalist territory.
Jigsaw — Understated, intelligent British fashion. Their tailoring and knitwear in particular channel a similar quiet confidence to Rohe.
Hush — If Rohe's relaxed knitwear pieces appeal to you, Hush delivers a very similar easy elegance at accessible prices, with particularly good fit across sizes.
Claudie Pierlot — For those who want the Parisian-minimalist flavour of Rohe with a slightly more feminine inflection. Their tailoring is well-made and the proportions are excellent.

Two Independent Brands Worth Knowing

Baserange — A Copenhagen-based label that shares Rohe's devotion to clean lines and natural fabrics. Their pieces are thoughtfully constructed, sustainably made, and genuinely wear well over time. Sizing is relaxed and generous — a lovely counterpoint to Rohe's sleeker tailoring.
Aeron — A Budapest-based contemporary label that delivers elevated, architectural womenswear at a price point that sits between high street and full designer. Their tailoring is confident and their sizing consistent — well worth exploring if you're drawn to the Rohe world.
