Destree Sizing: FR to UK Size Guide and 4 Fit Exceptions

Destree labels its clothing in French sizes, and FR 36 equals UK 8, so most women simply take their usual UK size. Nearly every piece in the current designer clothing edit is marked true to size, with two exceptions to size up for, including the Claude Tailored Jacket in Black, and two to size down for, such as the Roberta Cotton Poplin High-Neck Blouse in White.

New to the label? Start with our guide to Destree clothing, which walks through the jackets, trousers, knits and coats category by category. This page is the practical companion: the size conversion, the fit notes for each piece and how a structured Destree shoulder should sit on you.

• Destree clothing is labelled in French (FR) sizes, running from FR 34 to FR 44.
• The brand chart converts FR 34 to UK 6, FR 36 to UK 8, FR 38 to UK 10, FR 40 to UK 12, FR 42 to UK 14 and FR 44 to UK 16.
• Letter-sized pieces, mostly knitwear, run from XS to XL.
• Coveti shows the UK size ladder on every Destree product page, so you choose in the size you already know.
• The large majority of the Fall Winter 2026 ready-to-wear is marked true to size; a few pieces fit small and a few fit large.
• Almost every piece in the current edit is made in Portugal, according to the product pages.

What size is Destree in UK sizes?

Destree FR sizes sit exactly two numbers apart from UK sizes in the brand chart: FR 38 is a UK 10, FR 40 is a UK 12.

The house cuts in French sizing because it is a Paris label, founded in 2016 by Geraldine Guyot and Laetitia Lumbroso. Coveti converts every product page to the UK ladder using the brand’s own chart, shown in full below. Keep to this table and you will not need to do any mental arithmetic at checkout.

A note on other systems. Destree publishes its chart against UK sizing, and that is the conversion we trust. We do not quote American, Italian and other numeric equivalents here because the house does not verify them, and a wrong guess on a tailored jacket is an expensive return. When a piece is sold in letter sizes, XS to XL, the product page shows the letter options directly.

Does Destree run small, true to size, large?

Destree runs true to size for most of the collection, so your usual UK size is the right starting point.

Across the current Fall Winter 2026 delivery, the fit notes on our product pages mark the large majority of pieces true to size. Four pieces carry a different note, and they are worth knowing before you add anything to your basket.

The pattern makes sense once you read the construction notes. The Claude jacket is built from a structured textured fabric with precise architectural lines, so there is little give across the upper body. The beige satin Amoako is a cropped jacket with a fitted waist in a polyester and silk satin, and satin has no stretch to forgive a snug fit. At the other end, the Tamara utility jacket in beige wool has a classic pointed collar and curved cargo pockets, a roomier utility shape. The Roberta blouse has an elongated silhouette with a curved hem and a concealed front closure, which reads generous on the body.

Should you size up in a Destree jacket?

Only in the two jackets marked fits small; every other Destree jacket in the current edit is true to size.

The Amoako is the jacket most people ask about, because its cropped length and fitted waist look narrow on the hanger. The other Amoako colourways carry a true-to-size note. The Amoako Satin Puff-Sleeve Jacket in Black, with its V-notch stand collar, cap sleeves and scalloped peplum hem, should be taken in your usual size, and so should the Amoako Denim Puff-Sleeve Jacket in Blue, which has a mandarin collar and a tonal button front. Every Amoako jacket in the current edit is lined in viscose, which helps it glide over a fine knit without catching.

For tailoring beyond the Amoako, the Tatiana Tailored Jacket in Black is a useful benchmark. It has defined shoulders and a structured tailored silhouette, and it is marked true to size. If it fits you in the shoulder in your usual UK size, the rest of the Destree jacket family will follow the same logic. Our full Destree jackets guide covers each style in detail, and Coveti’s wider edit of designer blazers is useful for comparing shoulder shapes across houses.

How should a puff sleeve jacket fit?

A puff sleeve jacket should fit closely at the waist and across the back, with all of the volume held at the shoulder and upper arm.

• Shoulder seam: it should sit at your natural shoulder point. The puff is built above and around it, so a seam that hangs down your arm means the jacket is too big.
• Waist: on a cropped style like the Amoako, the fitted waist should meet your natural waist, the narrowest point of your torso. Buttons should close without pulling into small horizontal creases.
• Sleeve: on versions where the puff tapers toward the wrist, such as the Amoako Stretch Puff-Sleeve Jacket in Brown, the lower sleeve should be close but not tight when you bend your elbow.
• Collar: a mandarin collar should stand clear of your neck by a finger’s width.

The brown stretch version is worth noting for anyone between sizes. Its viscose, polyamide and elastane fabric has more give than satin, and it is marked true to size. For outfit ideas once the fit is right, see how to style a puff sleeve jacket.

How do Destree trousers fit?

Destree trousers are cut high-waisted and close at the hip, so choose by your waist measurement and let the leg shape do the rest.

The Yoshitomo is the house trouser, and the satin versions deserve a careful read. The Yoshitomo Satin Cropped Trousers in Niagara Blue are cut body-fitted and high-waisted, and Destree notes that the fabric does not stretch: it is cut for a structured tailored fit with crisp lines. They are still marked true to size, but if you sit between two sizes, the waist is the place to be honest with yourself. The same applies to the Yoshitomo Satin Trousers in White, which have a straight flared leg, cropped length and a concealed zip.

If you prefer a little give, the Tina Stretch Straight Trousers in Black combine cotton and polyamide with elastane for comfortable stretch and a clean straight line. Browse more cuts in Coveti’s tailored trousers edit, and our Destree trousers guide compares every Yoshitomo leg shape.

How do Destree knits and coats fit?

Destree knits are designed close to the body, and the coats are cut to be worn over fine layers rather than chunky ones.

The Agathe Wool Knit Top in Black and White is in 100% merino wool with a close-fitting silhouette, and the Joan Wool Flared-Sleeve Top in Beige is a slim fit in merino wool and viscose with flared cuffs. Both are marked true to size. Take your usual size for a second-skin line that slips under a jacket; neither is meant to be worn oversized.

For outerwear, the Maria Wool Tailored Coat with Velvet Details in Black is fitted at the waist in black wool with a viscose lining, and it is true to size. Size for what you will wear underneath. A merino knit like the Agathe sits comfortably beneath it; a bulky cable jumper will strain the waist. Our Destree coats guide covers lengths and layering.

How do you measure yourself for Destree?

Measure bust, waist and hips with a soft tape over light underwear, then compare against a garment you already own and love.

1. Bust: wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level across your back.
2. Waist: measure at the narrowest point of your torso, usually just above the navel. This is the number that matters most for cropped Amoako jackets and high-waisted Yoshitomo trousers.
3. Hips: measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat with your feet together.
4. Shoulder: for tailoring, measure across your back from one shoulder point to the other.
5. Compare: lay a jacket and a pair of trousers that fit you well flat and note the same points. A garment you know is a better guide than any chart.

Then use the UK ladder on the product page, check the fit note for that specific piece, and you are done. If you want to understand the house before you buy, our profile of who is behind Destree explains the graphic, structured aesthetic that shapes these fits.
