How do they fit?
Gymshark
Sizing. Size up one if you have a broad chest or want anything other than a skin-close athletic fit, and stick to your usual size in the oversized/Rest Day style ranges.
Cut. Athletic and tapered through the chest, waist and arms on core lines, with a growing number of deliberately oversized/relaxed ranges.
Sizing says whether to size up or down. Cut describes the intended shape. A deliberately roomy cut doesn’t mean the sizing runs large.
Neither quite right?
