What to know about Black Milk
BlackMilk Clothing is an Australian label founded by James Lillis in Brisbane in 2009, which grew from digitally printed nylon-spandex leggings sold through an online fan community. Its range covers leggings, bodysuits, dresses, swimwear, tees and knitwear, mostly built around licensed pop-culture prints. Recent drops include a 2025 Pokemon collection of about 20 styles, a second Dungeons & Dragons range, and a Final Fantasy XIV collaboration released in February 2025. The privately held brand sells direct-to-consumer worldwide from its own site.
How Black Milk fits
Overall fit
runs small
BlackMilk's printed nylon-spandex pieces are widely described as running small and very tight by design, so buyers often go a size (or two) above their usual, while the woven and knit items sit closer to a relaxed, true-to-size cut.
Tip: Most shoppers suggest taking your usual size up one, and sizing up again if you dislike a compressive, second-skin feel.

| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly small | fitted-to-regular rather than oversized streetwear cut | Consider one size up if you want room to layer or a longer body. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | true to size | relaxed to slightly boxy, less compressive than the stretch styles | Take your normal size unless you want a deliberately loose, slouchy drape. |
