Chloé
French luxury house founded in Paris in 1952 by Gaby Aghion, who pioneered ready-to-wear as an alternative to couture. Owned by Swiss group Richemont since the 1980s, it remains headquartered in Paris. Chemena Kamali has served as creative director since 2023, following Gabriela Hearst, and has returned the house to its 1970s bohemian register: ruffled blouses, sheer tiered dresses, suede, capes and clog-heeled boots. Leather goods anchor the business, led by the Paddington, Marcie and Woody bags. Chloé holds B Corp certification.

| Category | Runs | Shape | Length | Size advice | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shirts & overshirts | mixed | blouses are billowy and gathered through the body but cut close through the shoulder, armhole and sleeve | regular to long in body, with long full sleeves and deep cuffs | Size up if you have any width across the shoulders or upper arms; otherwise the roomy body means your normal size can work. | medium |
| Trousers & pants | runs small | high-rise and close through waist and hip before releasing into a flare or wide leg | long — typically drafted for a heel and often needs hemming on shorter frames | Size up one for the waist and hip, then expect to hem the leg. | medium |
| Jeans & denim | runs small | snug high-rise waist and seat with limited stretch in the rigid washes | long, flared or bootcut leg intended to break over a shoe | Go up a size in denim, especially in the rigid non-stretch fits. | medium |
| Jackets | runs small | narrow shoulder and high armhole on tailoring; capes and suede outerwear are looser but still slim at the top block | regular to slightly long in body and sleeve | Size up if you plan to layer anything more than a fine knit underneath. | medium |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | softly fitted rather than boxy, following the body through the chest | regular | Take your usual size for a close fit, or one up if you prefer a relaxed drape. | low |
Does Chloé run big or small?
Chloé runs small. Take one size up from your usual — roughly FR 36 = US 4/UK 8 — and size up again if you're broader through the shoulders, bust or upper arm. Shoppers consistently report that Chloé runs at least a half to full size small versus US/UK labelling, with the tightness concentrated in the shoulders, armholes and sleeves rather than the body, since the bohemian blouses and dresses themselves fall loose and fluid.
