Essentials T-Shirt size chart
Essentials runs oversized. That's intentional – drop shoulders, roomy body.
- Your usual size = the oversized look from the lookbook.
- One size down = a regular fit like other brands.
- Two sizes down = a close-to-the-body fit.
- Women: the line is unisex – go 1–2 sizes smaller than your women's size.
- The most oversized of all Essentials pieces – if you're unsure, choose the smaller size.
Which size for which height?
| Height | Regular fit | Oversized look |

| 177–182 cm | M / L | XL |
| 183–188 cm | L | XL / XXL |
| 189 cm and up | XL | XXL |
Guideline values for an average build. If you have a stronger build or broad shoulders, lean toward the oversized column. For comparison: at 1.82 m and 70 kg, M fits for the oversized look and S for the regular fit.
