Uniqlo sizing guide: Find your fit

When it comes to minimalist go-to basics, there's little to beat Japan's Uniqlo. Key to the appeal is not just high quality, but high street prices. That's the result of Uniqlo's vertical integration of all that it does: from planning and design through manufacture and marketing. You won't find Uniqlo pieces anywhere else, and the focus on their own "simple and essential" ethos means every item is quietly distinctive.

Uniqlo's first store opened in Japan in 1984. Growth since has been worldwide, not least because these are pieces that easily integrate with whatever style you're planning for the day. Theirs is a democratic approach, or as Uniqlo themselves put it: "everyone can benefit from simple, well-designed clothes", dressed up for a night out or dressed down for a slouching Saturday.

Uniqlo sizing notes

All of Uniqlo's sizing is to their own standards, so do make sure to convert from your usual size. In general, Uniqlo pieces run a little small and most are designed for a broadly slimline fit. That means that if you'd like a more relaxed fit, it might be worth going up a size. If in any doubt at all, order two of the same piece to find your unique Uniqlo fit.
