Streetwear Size Guide: Oversize vs Boxy Fit and How to Order the Right Size
For oversized and boxy streetwear, most people should order their usual size for a relaxed fit and size up only for extra volume; always compare the garment's flat measurements with a piece you already own, because the size label alone can mislead. This guide explains how oversize, boxy and regular fits differ, how to measure, and how to order from a European brand like CUOTTI if you live in the US.
Quick summary
- Measure a favorite garment flat and compare with the product page.
- Between two sizes? The smaller one gives a balanced oversized look; the bigger gives extra volume.
- European brands may size differently from US labels, so rely on measurements, not just S, M, L.

How to measure a garment for the right size
- Lay a hoodie or tee you like flat on a table.
- Chest width: measure from armpit to armpit, in a straight line.
- Length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder, near the collar, to the hem.
- Sleeve length: from the shoulder seam to the cuff.
- Compare these numbers with the garment measurements on the product page.
Ordering from Europe if you're in the US
Brands in Europe often label sizes differently from US brands, and oversized cuts can run larger than the label suggests. That is why you should rely on measurements, not on S, M or L alone. CUOTTI is based in Elche, Spain, and ships worldwide, including to the United States. Prices are in euros. Check delivery times and the returns policy on the store before you order.
What if you're between sizes?
- For a balanced oversized look: take the smaller size.
- For maximum volume: take the larger size.
- For a plain tee under a hoodie: a regular size usually works best.
