Does Urban Outfitters run big or small?

Urban Outfitters varies by piece. Take your normal size in UO/BDG tops and hoodies since they are cut oversized already, but check the item-level reviews and size chart for bottoms and third-party labels because sizing is inconsistent. Shoppers generally find Urban Outfitters' own labels cut generously and on-trend oversized, while consistency between styles and between house and third-party brands is the most common complaint.
