What Size Am I in COS? Find the Right Fit with Tellar.co.uk

Minimalist, architectural, and often oversized β€” get your perfect COS fit first time with Tellar.co.uk.


COS, part of the H&M Group, is renowned for its clean silhouettes, premium fabrics, and elevated basics. But many shoppers still ask:

πŸ‘‰ Does COS run big or small?

πŸ‘‰ Should I size down in COS?

πŸ‘‰ How does COS sizing compare to Zara or H&M?

At Tellar.co.uk, we help you cut through the sizing confusion. Enter your chest, waist, and hips, and we’ll show you your ideal COS size, matched to over 1,500 brands using real garment data β€” not generic charts.


Does COS Run Small or Large?

COS is known for minimalist cuts and intentionally oversized fits. However, sizing still varies based on category and fabric.

πŸ”Ή General fit guide:

  • Tops & Dresses: Often intentionally oversized β€” some customers prefer to size down for a closer fit

  • Trousers & Skirts: True to size, with a structured waist; may feel snug without stretch

  • Tailoring (blazers, coats): Designed for boxy silhouettes, often cut large

  • Menswear: Relaxed, minimalist cuts β€” true to size, but generous in width

🧭 Tellar.co.uk adjusts automatically for COS’s style and fit


Real Example: COS Sizing Conversion

If your measurements are:

  • Chest: 90cm

  • Waist: 74cm

  • Hips: 100cm

You may be a UK 10 in most brands.

In COS:

  • For a standard oversized blouse or dress, Tellar.co.uk may recommend a UK 8

  • For fitted trousers, you’d likely wear a UK 10 or 12 depending on the waistband structure and rise

Why COS Sizing Can Be Hard to Judge

  • Oversized pieces vary by garment β€” a size S could feel like a UK 12–14

  • Structured tailoring may fit more closely at the waist or shoulders

  • Fabric weight (wool, linen, cotton twill) affects drape and perceived size

  • Men’s relaxed cuts may feel baggy unless styled deliberately

πŸ’‘ That’s why Tellar.co.uk uses real data to guide you to the right size β€” based on fit, style, and body measurements.
