Arket means "sheet of paper" in Swedish and this Stockholm-based brand has essential simplicity at its very core. Each piece is the result of archival research and consideration of how to reinvent the familiar. The key here is the choice of fabrics and a cut unique to each part of the collection. Arket aims for every piece to be in your wardrobe for a long time, with a timeless ethos that is the very essence of Swedish style.
When it comes to Arket sizing, the brand's clothing fits true to size. Each is true to the label’s democratic philosophy. Expect looseness. Jackets and coats are constructed for a looser fit while the simplicity of intricately imagined jumpers is conceived for both comfort and style. If you'd prefer a more tailored feel, consider going a size down to find your personal Arket look. T-shirts and the label's essential jeans fit true to size, with the possibility of going a size up for still more casual living. The best way to experience Arket's unique take on Swedish design is to try pieces from their collections for yourself.
Points to consider:
- All pieces fit true to your usual size, with a loose feel
- Consider a size down for shirts and outerwear, for more tailored look
- Consider a size up for T-shirts, for a more relaxed style
- If in doubt, why not order two sizes?
