How Should an Oversized Embroidered Tee Fit? A Simple Size Guide

Oversized fits trip people up, because the label size is not the whole story. Here is how ours wear, and how to land on the size you actually want.

What "oversized" really means here

Oversized is a cut, not a size. The body is wider, the shoulder seam drops past your shoulder, and the sleeve is loose. On a 240 GSM cotton tee, that gives a relaxed, slightly boxy shape that holds form without clinging. If you like room to move, this is the fit you are already looking for.

How to choose your size

Take your usual t-shirt size for a full oversized drape. Want it less roomy? Go one size down, and it reads close to a regular fit with a little ease. Caught between two sizes, the smaller gives a cleaner line and the larger a more relaxed, tuck-it-or-leave-it look. Both are right; it is preference, not a mistake.

Where the embroidery sits across sizes

The motif is placed by hand at chest height, so it lands in the same spot whether you wear S or XL. Sizing up does not shove the design off to one side. That matters most when you are gifting and guessing a size: the embroidery looks right across the whole range.

Unisex sizing, kept simple

Unisex cuts follow a straighter body than fitted women's tees. If you usually wear fitted women's styles and want that shape, size down one. If you like the relaxed, borrowed-from-the-boys look, stay at your size. Most men take their usual size for oversized, or size down for a regular fit.

Quick rule

• Want full oversized: your usual size
• Want a regular fit: size down one
• Gifting and unsure: your usual size, the safer and more on-trend choice
• Layering over a hoodie: size up one

Frequently asked

Do your tees run big or small?
They are cut oversized on purpose, so they wear larger than a slim standard tee. Your normal size gives the relaxed look they are designed for.

I am between sizes, which do I pick?
Smaller for a cleaner line, larger for more drape. Neither is wrong.

Will the embroidery still look centred if I size up?
Yes. It is placed at chest height by hand and lands the same across sizes.

Is the fit the same for men and women?
The cut is unisex and straight. Women who want a fitted shape can size down one.
