What to know about Simone Rocha
Simone Rocha is the London label founded in 2010 by Irish designer Simone Rocha, daughter of designer John Rocha. It shows womenswear and menswear built on a romantic but subversive aesthetic: volume-heavy tulle and broderie anglaise dresses, pearl and crystal embellishment, ribbons, bows, hair accessories and heavy brogues. Rocha remains founder and creative director of the independently run company, which operates a Mount Street store in Mayfair alongside New York retail. She guest-designed Jean Paul Gaultier's spring 2024 couture collection and produced a widely covered H&M collaboration.

Overall fit
mixed
Shoppers generally report that the clothes fit close to label size but read much larger visually because of intentional volume, ruffles and dropped shoulders, while structured tailoring and Italian-sized items are the pieces most often described as cutting small.
Tip: Take your usual size in most pieces since the volume is designed in, but check measurements on tailored jackets and anything fitted through the shoulder or waist, where sizing up one is often suggested.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly large | oversized and boxy | Your normal size gives a roomy fit; size down for something closer to the body. |
| Jackets | slightly small | structured and defined through the shoulder, nipped at the waist | Many find tailored outerwear cuts lean, so sizing up is the safer choice if you plan to layer. |
| Shirts & overshirts | mixed | full and blousy through the body with a narrower shoulder | Order your usual size for the intended loose look, but size up if you are broad across the chest or shoulders. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly large | boxy to relaxed, often with embellished or puffed detailing | Stay with your normal size unless you want a slimmer look, in which case consider sizing down. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | relaxed to wide, sometimes high-waisted | Take your usual waist size and expect to shorten the inseam. |
