What Size Should You Order? A Streetwear Fit Guide

The most common question before buying any streetwear piece isn't "does it look good" - it's "what size do I order." Streetwear sizing works differently from regular clothing, because the fit is often intentional, not a mistake. Here's how to get it right every time.

Streetwear Has Two Main Fits

Almost every piece falls into one of two categories:

• True-to-size - fits like a standard, regular cut. Order your normal size.
• Oversized - designed with extra room in the shoulders, body, and sleeves for a relaxed, dropped silhouette. This is a deliberate design choice, not a looser version of true-to-size.

At 22DABE22®, fit varies by product - some pieces are cut true-to-size, others are designed oversized. The fit type is always noted on the individual product page, so check there first before deciding on a size.

How to Decide Between Your Size and One Up

If a product is marked oversized and you want the intended streetwear silhouette (dropped shoulders, longer sleeves, relaxed body), order your regular size in that cut - it's already built with extra room. If you want an even bigger, more exaggerated look, size up once. We don't recommend sizing up more than one size unless you specifically want a dramatically oversized fit, since fabric weight and proportions can start working against you.

If you're between two sizes and prefer a cleaner, less bulky silhouette, size down. If you prefer more room to layer underneath, size up.

Check the Measurements, Not Just the Label

Size labels (S, M, L) vary between brands and even between product lines. Before ordering, check the garment measurements on the product page - chest width, body length, and sleeve length - and compare them to a piece you already own and like the fit of. This is the single most reliable way to avoid a return.

Sizing for Layering

If you plan to wear a hoodie under a zip jacket, or a tee under a hoodie, factor that in. A true-to-size hoodie might feel tight layered under a jacket of the same size - in that case, consider sizing up on the inner layer only.

Still Not Sure?

Check the size guide and fit notes on the specific product you're looking at - fit is called out per product because it genuinely varies across our hoodies, tees and longsleeves, and pants. When in doubt, go with the measurements over the label every time.
