Overall fit
runs large
The Row is widely described as cut deliberately large and fluid, so garments typically wear at least a size bigger than the label suggests, with long sleeves and generous drape.
Tip: Most people take their true size only if they want the intended oversized look — size down one for anything closer to a normal fit.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs large | relaxed sweatshirt/knit shape with dropped shoulders | Take your usual size for the intended roomy look, or size down for a cleaner fit. |
| Shirts & overshirts | runs large | relaxed, softly draped, wide through the body rather than fitted | Consider one size down unless you want a very billowy silhouette. |
| Trousers & pants | runs large | high-rise, relaxed to wide-leg with soft pleating or clean flat fronts | Size down at the waist if between sizes and plan on shortening the inseam. |
| Jeans & denim | runs large | straight to wide, roomy through hip and thigh | Try one size down in the waist since the leg is already generous. |
| Jackets | runs large | oversized coats and soft, unstructured tailoring with extended shoulders | Size down one if you want a normal shoulder line; keep your size for the signature cocoon effect. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs large | boxy and full through the chest with a soft, drapey hand | Size down if you don't want a boxy, loose tee. |
