How Aries fits
Overall fit
runs large
Aries is widely described as cutting generously: tees, hoodies and denim tend to arrive roomier and boxier than mainstream sizing, so shoppers who want a conventional fit often drop a size.
Tip: Take your normal size only if you want it noticeably oversized — most people can size down one for a normal fit.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly large | relaxed, camp-collar and boxy overshirt shapes are common | Stick to your usual size for the intended relaxed look, or size down if you prefer a cleaner line. |
| Trousers & pants | runs large | relaxed and wide through the thigh | Take your true waist or size down; expect to shorten the leg. |
| Jeans & denim | runs large | baggy, straight to wide-leg | Consider one waist size down since the cut is intentionally loose and denim relaxes with wear. |
| Jackets | runs large | boxy outerwear with room for layering built in | Buy your normal size and skip sizing up — layering room is already there. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs large | boxy with dropped or wide shoulders | Size down one if you don't want the intended oversized drape. |
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs large | very roomy, heavy boxy streetwear cut | Your usual size will read oversized; size down for a standard fit and don't size up for layering. |
