Does Uniqlo run big or small?

Uniqlo fits slightly small. Size up one from your usual US/EU size in fitted styles or if you're tall or broad, and stick to your normal size in the intentionally oversized U/C lines. Most shoppers find Uniqlo cut on Japanese proportions — slightly trim and short in the body and sleeve — so the common move is to take one size up from your usual US/EU size, while the oversized collections fit as labelled or larger.
