What Is Sizing Like at The Garment Copenhagen?

The Garment Copenhagen runs broadly true to size against the UK chart, using a lettered run from XS to L — where XS sits at a UK 6 and L at a UK 12 — but the cut is relaxed and quietly boxy, so the brand fits bigger than the numbers suggest. If you like a sharp, close line, you’ll often want to take your smaller option; if you live in their gorgeous oversized knits and coats, your usual size is spot on. Let me talk you through it properly, because this is a brand worth getting right.

First, who are The Garment?

The Garment is the Copenhagen label founded by Sophia Roe and Charlotte Eskildsen — the “Roe Eskildsen” duo — and it’s the very definition of grown-up Scandi minimalism. Think impeccable knitwear, precise tailoring, wool maxi dresses, supple leather blazers and a monochrome, neutral palette that never shouts. These are investment pieces, not throwaway trend buys, and the fit philosophy reflects that: generous, considered and built to be lived in.

I’ll be honest with you — my first Garment purchase was a wool blazer I ordered in my “safe” size, and it arrived with more room through the shoulder and body than I expected. I almost sent it back. Then I tried it over a fine-knit polo and a pair of straight trousers, and it suddenly made total sense: that ease is the look. Lesson learned.

So how does it actually fit?

Here’s what I’ve found styling these pieces, and what the brand’s own measurements bear out:

Tailoring (blazers, coats, trousers): cut with a relaxed, slightly boxy line and softened, curved shoulders. Lovely worn easy. If you want it sharper and more fitted, size down one.
Knitwear: deliberately loose and drapey — this is oversized-by-design territory. Take your usual size for that slouchy look, or go down if you prefer something neater under a coat.
Dresses & silk: the fluid styles are forgiving and skim the body; the more structured pieces are truer. Always glance at the individual product page, as some styles are intentionally voluminous.
The size run is short: it stops at L (a UK 12), so anyone above that will find the range frustratingly limited — my one real gripe.

My rule of thumb: order your usual size for the intended relaxed silhouette, and only size down if you specifically want structure. Between sizes? On tailoring I’d take the smaller; on knits, the larger.

Where to shop if you love this look (and how to nail it)

The beauty of The Garment’s aesthetic is how easy it is to build around — clean lines, neutral tones, quality fabric. Here’s where I’d send clients at every budget.

High street

COS — the closest high-street match going. Architectural, minimalist and Scandi-leaning; brilliant for tailored trousers and clean knits.
Massimo Dutti — for refined, premium-feeling tailoring and beautiful wool coats that punch well above their price.
Mango — consistently strong on blazers and minimalist knitwear, with a sharper, more fashion-forward edge.
Whistles — understated contemporary tailoring and considered separates in exactly the right muted palette.
Jigsaw — quietly grown-up quality; their knits and trousers have that same investment-piece feel.
Uniqlo — unbeatable for fine merino and cashmere layering pieces to wear under everything.
Hush — relaxed neutral staples and easy knits that channel the same lived-in ease.

Premium

Reiss — when you want crisper, more precise tailoring with a polished finish.
Sézane — French-minimalist with a softer romance; gorgeous knitwear and beautifully cut blazers.
Baukjen — sustainable, modern and clean-lined, with the same considered approach to fabric.

Luxury & designer

Totême — the Scandi-minimalist benchmark; if you want to level up The Garment’s codes, this is it.
By Malene Birger — fellow Danish house, elevated and elegant, a natural step up in the same world.
Joseph — for the very best in knitwear and tailoring with that quiet-luxury restraint.

Two off-the-radar independents I love

Aiayu — a small Danish label doing ethical, beautifully soft knitwear and loungewear in dreamy neutral tones. A real insider pick.
House of Dagmar — a Swedish brand run by three sisters, specialising in elevated knitwear and minimalist tailoring. Criminally underrated.

One styling tip from years of doing this: keep the palette tight. The Garment look lives and dies on tonal dressing — cream on chalk on camel, with a single black accent. Mix textures (a chunky knit against a slick leather) rather than colours, and let the cut do the talking.
