Toteme
Totême is a Swedish ready-to-wear label founded in 2014 in New York by Elin Kling and Karl Lindman and now headquartered in Stockholm. Kling designs pared-back wardrobe staples — tailored coats, boxy denim, knitwear, leather bags and the monogram-jacquard scarf — in muted, neutral palettes. Private equity firm Altor took a minority stake in 2021 while the founders retained majority control. The brand shows in Paris, reported roughly 1.7 billion SEK in sales for the year to April 2025, and opened stores in Beijing, Copenhagen, London and Paris.

| Category | Runs | Shape | Length | Size advice | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shirts & overshirts | runs large | relaxed, softly draped with dropped shoulders | long body and sleeves, often meant to be worn untucked or cuffed | Size down one unless you want a distinctly slouchy, borrowed-from-menswear look. | medium |
| Trousers & pants | slightly large | straight to wide, high-rise and clean through the hip | long — frequently reported as needing hemming on shorter frames | Take your usual size and budget for a hem rather than sizing down. | medium |
| Jeans & denim | true to size | rigid, straight or wide-leg with a structured waist | long inseams on most washes | Stick with your normal denim size — the rigid fabric has little give, so sizing down at the waist is rarely comfortable. | medium |
| Jackets | runs large | oversized, coat-like tailoring with generous shoulders | long, often past the hip | Size down one if you don't plan to layer heavy knitwear underneath. | medium |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs large | boxy, dropped-shoulder | regular to slightly long body | Most people size down one for a fit that isn't overtly oversized. | medium |

Shoppers typically report Totême's cut as generous and intentionally oversized — clean, boxy tops and long, roomy outerwear — so most people find their usual size works if they like volume and size down if they don't.
