What to know about Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY

Born from a queer club night

Charles Jeffrey started LOVERBOY in 2014 as both a clothing line and a London club night while at Central Saint Martins, and the party energy still drives the shows.

Punk tartan meets British tailoring

Collections combine tailoring and tartan with hand-knits, distressed jersey and illustrative prints, plus the horned and animal-ear knit hats the label is recognised for.

Knitwear and graphic tees anchor it

Runway pieces are performance-led, but the accessible entry points are knitwear and t-shirts, sold through SSENSE and Dover Street Market at upper-mid designer prices.

How Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY fits

Overall fit

runs large

Pieces are typically cut with a lot of intentional volume, so the same nominal size tends to wear a full size or more larger than mainstream high street equivalents, with fit varying noticeably between the deliberately huge and the deliberately tight items in a given collection.

Tip: Most shoppers take their normal size for the intended oversized drape, or size down one if you want something closer to a regular fit.
