Size Guide
SIZE
GUIDE
Finding the right size is about more than choosing a letter on a label. Many Velune Apparel pieces are intentionally designed with relaxed shoulders, generous chest room, wide legs, longline proportions or oversized silhouettes.
Use this guide to understand how to measure yourself, how to compare a garment you already own, and how different fits are intended to look.
Before choosing a size
Our collection includes conventional relaxed fits as well as deliberately oversized and reconstructed silhouettes. These four principles will make size selection much easier.
Check the Product Chart
Individual product measurements are more accurate than a universal size conversion because different designs intentionally use different proportions.
Measure a Garment
For oversized styles, comparing the measurements with a shirt, jacket or pair of trousers you already like is often the most useful method.
Think About the Look
The same size can look very different depending on whether you prefer a clean relaxed fit or a dramatic oversized silhouette.
Allow Small Variations
Manual measurement and fabric behavior can create small differences between the published measurements and the finished garment.
How to measure your body.
Use a soft measuring tape and keep it level rather than pulling it tightly against the body.
Wear light clothing when measuring and stand naturally. Measurements should feel comfortable rather than compressed.
Chest
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the measuring tape horizontal under the arms and across the shoulder blades.
Shoulder
Measure from the edge of one shoulder across the back to the edge of the opposite shoulder. For dropped-shoulder garments, the finished garment measurement will intentionally be larger.
Waist
Measure around your natural waist without pulling the tape tightly. For trousers worn lower on the body, also consider where you normally prefer the waistband to sit.
Hip
Measure around the fullest point of your hips and seat while standing with your feet naturally positioned.
Sleeve
Measure from the shoulder point down to the wrist. For oversized and dropped-shoulder pieces, the shoulder seam may intentionally fall farther down the arm.
Inseam
Measure from the top of the inside leg down to your preferred trouser length. Consider the shoes you plan to wear with wide-leg or longer trousers.
Measure your body
Body measurements are useful for understanding your general size range and for checking whether a waistband, chest or hip measurement will provide enough room.
This method is especially useful for trousers, fitted waist areas and pieces that have less intentional volume.
Measure your favorite garment
Lay a garment you already like flat on a table. Measure its chest, shoulder, length, sleeve or waist and compare those numbers directly with the product size chart.
For Velune Apparel's oversized shirts, jackets and wide-leg trousers, this is often the easiest way to understand the finished silhouette before ordering.
General Size Reference
The following measurements are general body-reference ranges rather than exact finished garment dimensions. Actual garment measurements vary by design.
Always use the individual size chart displayed on the product page when available. The tables below are designed only to help you understand your approximate Velune Apparel size range.
Tops & Shirts
Use chest measurement as the primary reference. Shoulder width becomes less important on styles designed with dropped shoulders or deconstructed oversized proportions.
| Size | Body Chest | Body Waist | Suggested Fit | Typical Styling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 88–94 cm / 34.6–37.0 in | 72–78 cm / 28.3–30.7 in | Regular to Relaxed | Cleaner silhouette |
| M | 94–100 cm / 37.0–39.4 in | 78–84 cm / 30.7–33.1 in | Relaxed | Balanced everyday fit |
| L | 100–106 cm / 39.4–41.7 in | 84–90 cm / 33.1–35.4 in | Relaxed to Oversized | More volume and layering room |
| XL | 106–112 cm / 41.7–44.1 in | 90–96 cm / 35.4–37.8 in | Oversized | Stronger streetwear silhouette |
| 2XL | 112–118 cm / 44.1–46.5 in | 96–102 cm / 37.8–40.2 in | Generous | Extra room through body |
Choose based primarily on chest and shoulder.
Compare garment chest and length with a shirt you already own.
Check total length carefully if you are shorter or taller than average.
Outerwear
Outerwear should leave enough room for the layers you intend to wear underneath. Jackets designed for an oversized look already include additional ease.
| Size | Body Chest | Body Waist | Layering Level | Fit Direction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 88–94 cm / 34.6–37.0 in | 72–78 cm / 28.3–30.7 in | Light layers | Clean relaxed fit |
| M | 94–100 cm / 37.0–39.4 in | 78–84 cm / 30.7–33.1 in | Light to medium layers | Relaxed fit |
| L | 100–106 cm / 39.4–41.7 in | 84–90 cm / 33.1–35.4 in | Medium layers | Relaxed / oversized |
| XL | 106–112 cm / 41.7–44.1 in | 90–96 cm / 35.4–37.8 in | More layering room | Oversized |
| 2XL | 112–118 cm / 44.1–46.5 in | 96–102 cm / 37.8–40.2 in | Generous layers | Extra oversized |
Your usual size is generally the best starting point.
Compare chest and arm room carefully before choosing.
Size up only if the product itself is not already strongly oversized.
Pants & Jeans
For trousers, waist and hip are the most important references. Total length determines how the leg falls over sneakers, boots or platform footwear.
| Size | Body Waist | Body Hip | Approx. Waist | Fit Direction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 72–78 cm / 28.3–30.7 in | 90–96 cm / 35.4–37.8 in | 28–30 in | Relaxed |
| M | 78–84 cm / 30.7–33.1 in | 96–102 cm / 37.8–40.2 in | 30–33 in | Relaxed |
| L | 84–90 cm / 33.1–35.4 in | 102–108 cm / 40.2–42.5 in | 33–35 in | Loose |
| XL | 90–96 cm / 35.4–37.8 in | 108–114 cm / 42.5–44.9 in | 35–38 in | Loose / oversized |
| 2XL | 96–102 cm / 37.8–40.2 in | 114–120 cm / 44.9–47.2 in | 38–40 in | Generous |
Waist is usually more important than leg width because volume is intentional.
Compare total length with your preferred trousers and footwear.
Measure where you actually intend the waistband to sit rather than only your natural waist.
What does “oversized” actually mean?
Oversized does not simply mean wearing the wrong size. It is an intentional proportion built into the garment through additional width, dropped shoulders, longer lengths or wider legs.
Relaxed
Comfortable extra room without dramatically changing the body's natural proportions.
Oversized
Noticeably wider shoulders, chest or leg proportions intended to create a stronger streetwear silhouette.
Extra Oversized
More exaggerated volume, layering room and visual length for a directional or runway-inspired look.
What matters most for each product type?
Not every measurement deserves equal attention. Focus on the dimensions that determine how each garment actually sits on the body.
Start with chest and length.
Chest tells you how much room the body of the shirt will have. Length determines whether the shirt sits at the hip, below the hip or creates a longline silhouette.
For dropped shoulders, do not worry if the garment shoulder measurement appears much wider than your body measurement — this may be intentional.
Think about what goes underneath.
A jacket worn over only a T-shirt requires less room than one intended to layer over a hoodie or knit.
If the product is already described as oversized, sizing up may create significantly more volume than expected.
Prioritize waist, hip and length.
Wide-leg and cargo styles already contain additional room through the thigh and leg, so waistband fit is usually the most important measurement.
For very long silhouettes, compare the listed length with the trousers you already wear with similar footwear.
Choose based on the look you want.
When both sizes could work, the intended silhouette is often the deciding factor.
If you prefer a cleaner, less exaggerated silhouette and the smaller size still provides enough room in the key measurements.
If you want stronger volume, extra layering space or more dramatic streetwear proportions.
Do not size down purely to reduce leg width if the design is intentionally wide. Make sure the waist and hip still fit comfortably.
Consider what you will wear underneath. Additional room may be useful during cooler seasons.
Check both chest and total length. Sizing up usually increases not only width but also overall visual length.
Small differences are normal.
Garments may be measured manually, and fabric can behave differently depending on structure, texture and drape.
A small variation between the published measurement and the physical garment does not necessarily indicate a sizing defect.
Fabric changes how fit looks.
A structured woven fabric creates a sharper silhouette, while velvet-touch, draped or softer fabrics may fall closer to the body even when the measurements are similar.
Use both the size information and the product photographs to understand the intended final appearance.
