Finding your perfect fit should be simple. This guide walks you through how to measure yourself, provides detailed size charts for men and women from XS to XXL, and shares fit notes for every VUK category – so you can order with total confidence.
How to Measure Yourself
Grab a soft measuring tape, wear light clothing (or your underwear), and stand relaxed. Keep the tape snug but not tight – you should be able to slip one finger underneath. It helps to have someone assist you for the most accurate results.
Chest / Bust
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest or bust, keeping it level across your back. Breathe normally and take the measurement at a natural exhale. This is the most important measurement for tops, jackets, blazers, and dresses.
Waist
Measure around your natural waistline – the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel. Do not suck in; stand naturally. Your waist measurement determines your size in pants, jeans, and fitted dresses.
Hips
Stand with your feet together and wrap the tape around the fullest part of your hips and seat. Keep the tape level all the way around. Hips matter most for skinny jeans, chinos, and any fitted bottom.
Inseam
Measure from the top of your inner thigh down to your ankle bone, or measure the inseam of a pair of pants that fits you well (waistband to hem along the inner leg). Inseam determines where your pants break over your shoes.
Measuring Tips
- Measure over light clothing for the most accurate everyday fit.
- Keep the tape level and parallel to the floor – a mirror helps.
- Write down each measurement in inches before comparing to the charts.
- Re-measure if it has been more than six months since your last fitting.

Fit Notes by Category
Tees & Tops
Our tees are cut with a modern, slightly tailored fit – not boxy, not skin-tight. The Classic White Crew Tee keeps its neckline wash after wash. If you prefer a relaxed streetwear drape, size up once in the Charcoal Graphic Tee.
Hoodies & Sweatshirts
The Black Pullover Hoodie has a classic relaxed fit with room to layer. The Sand Oversized Sweatshirt is intentionally roomy with dropped shoulders – take your normal size for the intended oversized look, or size down for a standard fit.
Denim & Pants
Dark Indigo Skinny Jeans contain stretch for comfort and should feel snug (not tight) when new – they relax slightly with wear. Beige Chinos have a modern tapered fit; Olive Cargos run relaxed through the leg. When between sizes in rigid denim, we recommend sizing down.
Dresses
The Floral Summer Midi Dress features a fit-and-flare silhouette – fitted through the bodice with a flowing skirt. Choose by your bust measurement; the waist is designed to sit at the natural waistline.
Blazers & Jackets
The Navy Tailored Blazer is cut for a sharp fit with structured shoulders – it should button comfortably with room for a light layer underneath. Trucker and bomber jackets run true to size with enough room to layer a sweater beneath.
Knitwear
The Cream Cable-Knit Sweater has a relaxed, cozy fit. Knits naturally give a little with wear, so if you are between sizes and prefer a neater look, size down.
Accessories
The Charcoal Knit Beanie is one-size with a stretchy ribbed knit that fits most adults comfortably. The Brown Leather Belt is measured from buckle to the middle hole – order your usual pant waist size. The Natural Canvas Tote is generously sized for daily carry.
Between Sizes?
If your measurements fall between two sizes, here is our general advice:
- For a relaxed, casual fit in tops, hoodies, and sweaters – size up.
- For a sharp, tailored look in blazers and fitted dresses – size down or stay true to size.
- In stretch denim – stay true to size or size down; the fabric will give.
- In rigid, non-stretch fabrics – size up for comfort.
