What to know about Paloma Wool
Menswear is the newer half
Paloma Lanna started the label as womenswear in 2014; men's only arrived for Spring/Summer 2024, so the men's offer is younger and narrower than the brand's history suggests.
Knitwear anchors everything else
Soft knits are what the brand is known for, with relaxed tailoring, printed jersey, denim, footwear and accessories built around them in muted Mediterranean colours.
Art project, small runs, big stockists
It began as a fashion-meets-photography project and still produces locally in small runs, while selling through SSENSE, Mytheresa, Nordstrom and Revolve and its own New York and LA stores.

How Paloma Wool fits
Overall fit
mixed
Shoppers generally describe Paloma Wool as cut to an intentional, art-directed silhouette rather than a standard block, so sizing is widely reported as inconsistent between styles: most knitwear, shirting and outerwear reads relaxed or oversized, while the tight jersey tops and some tailored pieces run notably small.
Tip: Treat each style separately — take your usual size in the oversized knits, shirts and outerwear, but consider sizing up in the shrunken jersey tops and anything described as 'fitted'.
Medium confidence · based on 9 sources
By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly large | relaxed to oversized with dropped shoulders | Take your usual size for the intended slouchy look, or size down if you dislike volume. |
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly large | boxy and relaxed with a wide body and generous sleeve | Stick with your normal size, and size down one if you prefer a cleaner, less voluminous line. |
| Trousers & pants | slightly large | relaxed, high-rise, straight to wide through the leg | Order your usual waist size and budget for a hem, or size down if the waist is reported as loose. |
| Jeans & denim | mixed | mostly loose and straight or wide-leg, with occasional slim-cut seasonal styles | Go with your true waist measurement and check the specific style's rise and leg opening before committing. |
| Jackets | slightly large | boxy and roomy with dropped shoulders, cut with layering in mind | Take your usual size; only size up if you plan to layer heavy knits underneath. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | often shrunken and body-hugging in printed jersey, though some seasons offer a boxier, wider cut | Size up if you want a normal, non-clingy fit or have broader shoulders. |
