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.
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.
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.

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.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs large | very roomy, heavy sweatshirting with wide sleeves | Your normal size should already read oversized, so consider sizing down unless you layer heavily. |
| Shirts & overshirts | runs large | relaxed and often deconstructed, with exaggerated collars or sleeves | Size down if you want a tidier fit; the standard cut is deliberately loose. |
| Trousers & pants | mixed | mostly wide, high-volume tailored or tartan cuts, with occasional slim or corseted pairs | Check the specific style, since volume swings between very wide and unusually slim; ordering your waist size and expecting extra leg length is the safest starting point. |
| Jackets | runs large | exaggerated tailoring with broad shoulders and roomy bodies | Try your usual jacket size first and size down only if the shoulder line overwhelms you. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs large | boxy with dropped shoulders, often distressed or hand-finished jersey | Take your usual size for the intended slouchy look, or size down if you prefer a standard tee fit. |
