What to know about Viktoria & Woods
Merino knitwear is the foundation
The label started in 2004 with merino wool knitwear, and knits remain what it is best known for even after expanding into denim, tailoring, outerwear and occasion pieces.
Local production, audited
A large share of the range is made in Australia and the company holds Ethical Clothing Australia accreditation, which covers pay and conditions along the local supply chain.
Founder still sets the direction
Margie Woods runs the brand as creative director, and the look stays consistent: relaxed silhouettes, natural fibres and a restrained, minimal palette.
How Viktoria & Woods fits
Overall fit
slightly large
Shoppers generally report a generous, relaxed cut across most of the range, with the numeric 0-4 sizing translating to a slightly looser fit than the equivalent AU size, while denim and structured tailoring sit closer to true to size.
Tip: Take your usual size for a relaxed look, but consider sizing down (V&W runs 0-4, roughly AU 6-14) if you want anything close to the body, especially in knitwear and jersey.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jackets | slightly large | relaxed coats and blazers with room for layering | Your usual size works over knitwear; size down if you want a sharper, closer blazer line. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | easy tailoring, high-rise with straight or wide legs | Order your usual size and budget for a hem, as the leg length tends to run long. |
| Jeans & denim | true to size | high-rise straight and wide-leg denim, firm rigid fabrics with limited give | Take your usual size in the rigid styles — they feel snug at first but settle — and expect to hem the longer legs. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly large | boxy to relaxed jersey basics, some with dropped shoulders | Size down one if you prefer a fitted tee, as the jersey basics are cut with intentional ease. |
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs large | oversized, drop-shoulder sweat and knit styles | Take your usual size for the intended slouchy look, or size down for something less voluminous. |
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly large | relaxed, softly structured; not a slim shirt cut | Stick with your normal size unless you want a neater silhouette, in which case size down. |
