What to know about Forét
Outdoors as mood, not gear
Forét makes "soft outdoor" clothing — corduroy and flannel overshirts, fleeces, wool knits and packable jackets meant for city wear as much as a trail, without technical styling.
Earth tones and honest fabrics
The palette stays muted and the materials do the work: organic-cotton tees, wool knitwear and hard-wearing, responsibly sourced cloth rather than logos or seasonal prints.
Danish, founder-run, mid-to-upper priced
Started in 2014 by two childhood friends from rural Zealand who left fashion and advertising jobs; it sells direct and through European stockists at a mid-to-upper price.

How Forét fits
Overall fit
slightly large
Shoppers generally report Forét runs a touch roomy in the Scandinavian 'soft outdoor' way — most find their normal size correct but noticeably relaxed, while those wanting a closer fit often drop a size.
Tip: Take your usual size for the intended relaxed look, or size down if you want anything close to a trim fit.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly large | boxy with a wide body and slightly dropped shoulder | Stay true to size for the intended boxy look; size down if you prefer a fitted tee. |
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly large | relaxed, dropped-shoulder sweatshirt cut | Order your usual size unless you want it oversized, in which case size up one. |
| Shirts & overshirts | runs large | overshirt-leaning, boxy and cut for layering over knits | Consider sizing down on the corduroy and flannel overshirts unless you plan to layer heavily. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | straight to relaxed through the thigh, rarely slim | Take your normal waist size; expect a relaxed straight leg rather than a taper. |
| Jackets | slightly large | relaxed outdoor cut with room for a mid-layer | True to size works for layering; size down if you want a cleaner silhouette over just a tee. |

Brand facts
Forét is a Copenhagen menswear label founded in 2014 by childhood friends Jeppe Meier and Jesper Finderup, who named it after the French word for forest. The two grew up in rural Ringsted on Zealand and left fashion and advertising jobs to start the brand. Collections translate that outdoors nostalgia into "soft outdoor" clothing for city and trail: corduroy and flannel overshirts, fleeces, wool knits, packable jackets and organic-cotton tees in muted earth tones, built from hard-wearing, responsibly sourced fabrics. It sells direct and through European stockists.
