Our first priority when we’re designing is that every piece is flattering. To achieve this, we think about fit in three different ways:
Technical fit. The exact measurements we have used on a garment that help you work out exactly how it will fit you. See our diagram below for the measurements we use for consistency across the collection, and you can find size guides on every product page for the individual measurements of a piece.
Design fit. This is how our design team intend a piece to fit, for example ‘slim fit’, ‘oversized’, ‘boxy’. Simply click on ‘The Fit’ icon at the top of the product page or scroll down to find this information.
Emotional fit. This is how you prefer your clothes to fit you, whether that’s fitted or loose and relaxed.
Our aesthetic is for our clothes to be slightly more generous so that nothing clings too tightly, creating the most flattering silhouette. For example, we always cut our trousers to fall off the bottom rather than hug it.

Calf Circumference:
Place your foot flat on the floor. Using a fabric tape measure, measure the circumference of the widest part of your calf.
Foot Length Measurement:
To measure your feet, stand on a level floor with the back of your heels against a straight wall.
Measure your foot length by placing a ruler flat on the floor alongside the inside of your foot from your heel to your toes. (It may be helpful to stand on a piece of paper which you can then mark)
Place an object with a flat edge (like another ruler or a book ) straight across your toes with the edge touching the tip of your longest toe.
Take the measurement of the Length of your foot (in mm) from the point where the flat edge object makes contact with the end of your longest toe
Tip! Ensure the ruler you use to measure with starts from zero at its edge
