The Frankie Shop Size Guide 2026: Does It Run Large?

The Frankie Shop sizes most clothing in letter sizes from XXS to XL, with some styles in XXL. On the brand’s chart, XS to XL equals US 2 to 10 and UK 6 to 14. Many pieces are cut oversized on purpose, so they feel roomy without running large. Coveti lists The Frankie Shop in these same letter sizes.

This guide converts the chart, explains the paired sizes that confuse first-time buyers, and sets out how to choose by category. It uses only the brand’s published sizing and our own listing practice, and it never claims the brand tells you to size down, because it does not.

What is The Frankie Shop size chart?

The brand’s chart maps its letter sizes to US, UK, EU and Italian sizes in one step per size.

The range runs from XXS to XL on most styles, and a few go up to XXL. Because the scale is short, each letter covers a single numeric size. That makes conversion simple: if you wear a UK 10, your Frankie Shop size is M.

One practical note. A UK 10 on paper does not mean every M will fit like your other UK 10 clothes, because the cut matters as much as the label. That is where the fit line on each product comes in.

What do paired sizes like XS/S and M/L mean?

A paired size is one garment cut to cover two neighbouring sizes, usually because the shape is loose enough not to need separate grading.

You will see XS/S, M/L and XXXS/XXS on some Frankie Shop pieces. Read XS/S as “fits a usual XS and a usual S”. If you sit at the smaller end of a pair, the piece will fall looser on you; at the larger end, it will look closer to the designer’s intended shape. Paired sizes tend to turn up on relaxed silhouettes where a centimetre here and there does not change the look.

When you fall between two pairs, for example an S who sometimes wears M, think about the effect you want. A neater line points to the smaller pair; more drape points to the larger one.

Does The Frankie Shop run large?

Not in the sense of loose grading: the label runs roomy by design, because many pieces are cut oversized.

This is the distinction most sizing threads miss. A brand that runs large has a size M that measures like other labels’ L. The Frankie Shop instead labels many pieces “Oversized fit” in the product details, which means the extra volume is part of the design. Other pieces carry a fit line that reads “Fit: True to size”. Both kinds of product use the same chart above.

So the right question is not whether the brand runs large but how a specific piece is meant to fit. Read the fit line on the product page before you choose a size. The brand gives no general advice to size down. Some retailers suggest sizing down in the Bea Blazer for a closer fit, which is a personal preference, not a brand rule.

How does the Bea Blazer fit?

The Bea is cut oversized and boxy, and the brand’s model, at 179cm (5 ft 10), wears size S.

The brand-site description (Oct 2026) lists an oversized fit, boxy silhouette and peak lapels, made in South Korea, in sizes XXS to XL. On Coveti, the Bea Blazer in Chocolate is $670, and it matches the Bea Suit Pants in Chocolate ($400).

Use the model note as a calibration point. A tall model in S shows the jacket’s intended volume at that height. If you are shorter, the same size will sit longer on the body and further past the shoulder. Our full Bea blazer guide covers the fabric, colours and styling.

How should you choose a size by category?

Start from the chart, then adjust for the job each garment does.

Blazers and tailoring

Choose by shoulder. For pieces marked “Oversized fit”, begin with your usual size, since the volume is already there. The Gelso Oversized Blazer in Light Taupe Melange ($740) is a good example: a roomy cut that should still hold a clean shoulder line. Our guide on how to wear an oversized blazer explains how to check the shoulder and sleeve.

Coats

Size for what goes underneath. Long coats such as the Jane Long Coat in Black ($670) and the Gaia Double Breasted Coat in Black ($547) are often worn over a blazer in winter, so try them with your thickest layer in mind. Our Frankie Shop coats guide covers each style.

Leather jackets

Leather has little give, so judge the chest and shoulder carefully. The Viper Leather Jacket in Black ($1,310) is meant to sit loose; check its fit line before you decide between two sizes.

Trousers and jeans

The waist decides. Pleated styles such as the Gelso Pleated Twill Trousers in Black ($335) have room through the hip and thigh, so the waistband is the measurement to match. For denim like the Dalston Jeans in Medium Wash ($321), compare the size guide on the product page with a pair you already own.

Shirts, tees and knitwear

Shirts and tops are the most forgiving category. The Lui Organic Cotton Shirt in White ($390) is relaxed through the body, while fitted basics such as the Harper Soft Organic T-Shirt in Off White ($270) and the Eve Thin Turtleneck Sweater in Dark Taupe ($420) layer under tailoring, so your usual size keeps them close.

How do you measure yourself for The Frankie Shop?

Take three measurements in light clothing and compare them with the size guide on the product page.

• Bust: around the fullest part, tape level across the back.
• Waist: at the narrowest point, usually just above the navel.
• Hips: around the fullest part of the seat, feet together.

Then measure a favourite garment lying flat. A blazer you love, measured across the shoulders and from the collar seam to the hem, tells you more than any chart, because it shows the fit you already like. Hold those numbers against the product details before you choose.
