What to know about Arket
Arket is a Stockholm-based lifestyle brand launched by H&M Group in 2017 and still owned by it. It operates as a "modern-day market", selling womenswear, menswear, childrenswear and homeware, with seasonal vegetarian cafés in larger stores. Collections draw on 20th-century Nordic modernism: wool overcoats, merino and lambswool knitwear, oxford shirting, poplin dresses and leather sneakers in muted palettes, with material and origin details listed per garment. Physical expansion continues through 2026 with a second Paris store, a third Stockholm location on Biblioteksgatan and a first store in Vilnius, Lithuania.
How Arket fits
Overall fit
runs large
Arket is widely described as cutting on the roomy, relaxed side of true to size, so garments tend to wear a half to full size larger than equivalent high-street pieces.
Tip: Most men do well taking their usual size only if they want the intended relaxed look — size down one if you prefer a closer fit, especially in shirts, knitwear and outerwear.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs large | oversized, dropped-shoulder sweatshirt cut in heavy loopback cotton | Take one size down unless you specifically want an oversized drape. |
| Jackets | runs large | roomy overcoats and blousons cut with layering room in the shoulders | Many find their usual size too big over a shirt alone — size down unless layering over knitwear. |
| Jeans & denim | true to size | straight and relaxed blocks dominate; slimmer options fit closer to standard | Take your usual waist; choose the cut rather than the size to control the silhouette. |
| Shirts & overshirts | runs large | relaxed oxford and poplin cuts, roomy through the chest and armhole | Sizing down is the most common advice, particularly on the relaxed-fit oxford styles. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs large | boxy with a wide chest and slightly dropped shoulder | Size down if you want anything close to a standard fit; keep your size for the intended boxy look. |
| Trousers & pants | slightly large | straight to relaxed, mid-to-high rise | Stick with your waist size but budget for a hem; consider one size down if you want a cleaner leg line. |
