What Is Sizing Like at Sixth June? A Stylist's Honest Guide

Sixth June is a Paris-based streetwear brand founded in 2008, known for its oversized silhouettes, bold branding, and urban-influenced designs sold across ASOS, Zalando, and its own website.

I'll be straight with you — Sixth June is one of those brands that looks effortlessly cool on the rack and genuinely confusing the moment you try to work out your size. I ordered a hoodie in my usual medium when I first came across the brand and it absolutely swamped me — which, fine, was probably the point — but the pair of cargo joggers I ordered in the same size were oddly tight across the hips. Same size, same order, completely different experience. That inconsistency is actually Sixth June's defining sizing challenge, and it's worth knowing about before you check out.

The brand leans hard into oversized streetwear aesthetics: boxy bombers, chunky hoodies, gender-fluid cuts. But not everything is intentionally roomy. Some pieces are cropped and structured, with no stretch in the fabric whatsoever. So the golden rule here is: always check whether the item is listed as oversized, slim, or standard fit before you order.

IS SIXTH JUNE TRUE TO SIZE?

Not exactly — and that's not a criticism, it's just the nature of how the brand designs. Sixth June runs XS through to XL across most of its womenswear, but the fit varies enormously depending on the garment category. Here's a quick breakdown of what to expect across the key pieces:

HOODIES & SWEATSHIRTS

This is where Sixth June really leans into its oversized identity. Thick cotton, dropped shoulders, boxy body — these are intentionally big. If you want the full streetwear drape effect, go true to size. If you prefer something that looks oversized but still feels like it belongs on your body rather than someone else's, size down by one. I'd almost always size down here — a medium hoodie on a size 10/12 frame looks intentional; a large just looks like you borrowed it.

T-SHIRTS & TOPS

Same story as the hoodies, really. The graphic tees especially are cut wide and long. Most wearers find they get a better fit by sizing down for everyday wear — you still get the relaxed feel, just without swimming in fabric. That said, if you're after the proper streetwear oversized look for layering or styling over leggings, true to size works well.

ELLA'S TIPOn tops and hoodies: size down one. On cropped styles: check the description carefully — some have no stretch and catch buyers out across the back and arms.

TROUSERS, CARGO JOGGERS & BOTTOMS

This is where you need to be most careful. The cargo joggers and nylon trousers are a staple of the Sixth June look — all pockets, toggles, and relaxed drape. At the waist, they tend to run true to size. The issue is the hip seam. Several styles are cut with tighter hips than you'd expect for a streetwear brand, so if you carry more volume through the hip and thigh, consider sizing up. The looser cut of the leg will compensate and you'll avoid that pulling feeling across the seat.

Cropped trousers can run shorter than expected

JACKETS & OUTERWEAR

Sixth June outerwear — particularly the puffer jackets and bombers — tends to run large and quite bulky. That's great for layering, but arm lengths can vary noticeably between collections, which is a bit frustrating. For a cleaner, more tailored silhouette, sizing down gives a neater look. If you want the volume for styling, go true to size. The drop-shoulder puffers with logo taping are a particular highlight from the range — worth the investment, but definitely check the specific fit notes on each item as they change season to season.

DRESSES & SKIRTS

The womenswear dresses from Sixth June tend to be either quite short and fitted (think mini styles) or more relaxed midi lengths in jersey fabrics. The fitted styles can be tight across the chest and bust if you're larger there — I'd size up for those. The jersey relaxed styles are more forgiving; true to size is usually fine. There's not a huge range compared to the brand's core offer of separates, but what's there is worth knowing about sizing-wise.

MY OVERALL SIZING VERDICT

Think of Sixth June as a brand with two personalities: the intentionally oversized streetwear pieces (where sizing down is your friend), and the more structured cropped or fitted styles (where sizing up or staying true to size is the safer bet). Always read the individual product description, check whether stretch fabric is listed, and when in doubt, use the Tellar Store Size Lookup to match your measurements to the brand's structure before committing.
