What to know about Vince
Vince is a contemporary label founded in 2002 in Los Angeles by Rea Laccone and Christopher LaPolice, now headquartered in New York. It builds pared-back wardrobe staples: cashmere and wool knitwear, silk shirting, wide-leg trousers, leather outerwear, slip dresses and a denim program hand-finished in Los Angeles, alongside menswear, footwear and accessories. Caroline Belhumeur leads design as chief creative officer. Authentic Brands Group bought 75% of the brand's IP in 2023, and in January 2025 retail firm P180 acquired a majority stake in Vince Holding Corp. from Sun Capital affiliates, returning Brendan Hoffman as CEO.
How Vince fits
Overall fit
slightly large
Most shoppers report that Vince menswear is cut on the roomy, draped side of contemporary, so your usual size tends to feel relaxed rather than fitted and many end up sizing down one.
Tip: If you want anything close to a trim silhouette, take one size down from your usual — especially in knitwear, tees and outerwear.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly large | relaxed, soft and unstructured — cashmere and French terry both read easy | Take your usual size for a loose layer, or one down if you want it to sit closer to the body. |
| Jackets | slightly large | soft and unstructured, easy through the shoulder — leather and suede blousons read relaxed | Size down for a sharper line, or keep your usual size if you layer over knitwear. |
| Jeans & denim | true to size | slim to straight, less exaggerated than the rest of the line | Stick with your usual waist; stretch styles may relax slightly with wear. |
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly large | relaxed through the chest and waist, minimal taper; silk and linen styles feel especially airy | Consider sizing down one if you are between sizes or want a defined shape. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly large | relaxed, slightly boxy with a dropped-ish shoulder on many styles | Size down if you prefer a closer fit; keep your usual size for the intended easy drape. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | soft, pleated or flat-front with an easy leg; wide-leg and loose cuts dominate | Buy your normal waist and plan on a hem, since inseams often run long. |
