How Versace fits
Overall fit
runs small
Shoppers most often report Versace running small and slim in true Italian fashion, with narrow shoulders and a close chest, so a size up is the common recommendation outside of the more oversized streetwear-leaning pieces.
Tip: Start one size up from your usual US/UK size (IT 48 ≈ US 38), especially in tailoring and shirting.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | mixed | varies from trim mainline sweats to intentionally oversized streetwear cuts | Check the specific style — classic Medusa sweats tend to run small, while boxier seasonal drops are already oversized. |
| Jackets | runs small | sharply tailored with narrow shoulders and a suppressed waist | Size up at least one from your usual jacket size and check shoulder width first, since it is the hardest area to alter. |
| Jeans & denim | runs small | slim, close through hip and thigh | Consider one size up in the waist unless you want a genuinely tight fit. |
| Shirts & overshirts | runs small | slim, tapered body with a high armhole | Size up, particularly if you are broad through the chest or shoulders. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs small | slim to regular, close through chest and sleeve | Size up one if you want anything other than a fitted look, though logo-heavy relaxed styles can run closer to true. |
| Trousers & pants | slightly small | slim to regular with a clean Italian line | Take your usual waist and expect a trim seat and thigh; go up if you are athletic through the legs. |
