What to know about Killstar
Occult graphics do the talking
Nearly everything is black and printed with pentagrams, ouija boards, moon phases and horror motifs, so the graphic is the product rather than the cut.
A whole wardrobe, not just tees
Beyond the hoodies and t-shirts it sells dresses, maxi skirts, mesh and lace tops, platform boots, jewellery, bags and homeware.
Direct-to-consumer at low prices
Selling mainly through its own site, plus alt-fashion stockists in Europe and North America, from a UK base and a California distribution hub.
How Killstar fits
Overall fit
mixed
Shoppers broadly report that Killstar sizing is inconsistent from style to style — fitted jersey, mesh and woven items often run small while hoodies, sweats and outerwear are cut generously oversized — so most people rely on the garment-specific measurements rather than their usual size.
Tip: Check the specific product's measurement chart every time and consider sizing up on woven or fitted pieces, since sizing is widely reported as inconsistent between styles.
Medium confidence · based on 14 sources
By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly small | relatively straight and narrow through the chest on woven styles | Sizing up is a reasonable default on woven shirts, which are among the pieces most often described as tight across the chest and shoulders. |
| Trousers & pants | mixed | ranges from wide-leg and flared to slim, stretch-heavy silhouettes depending on the style | Go by the waist and inseam measurements on the individual product page rather than your usual size, and expect extra length if you're shorter. |
| Jackets | slightly large | roomy and layer-friendly, with generous sleeves on coats and oversized outerwear | Your usual size generally works and leaves room for layering, so only size up if you plan to wear thick knits underneath. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | fairly close-fitting through the chest and shoulders on many styles, though some drops are cut boxy and longline | Consider going up a size if you want a relaxed drape, as the jersey tees tend to sit closer to the body than expected. |
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs large | oversized and boxy with dropped shoulders on most hooded styles | Take your usual size or size down if you don't want a heavily oversized look, since the hoodies are cut deliberately roomy. |
