The Row Size Guide: Does The Row Run Big? Clothing, Shoes and Belts
The Row Size Guide: Does The Row Run Big? Clothing, Shoes and Belts
Does The Row run big? The short answer is no: The Row runs true to size, but it cuts generously on purpose, so many pieces look large on the hanger. This guide explains how The Row at Coveti sizes every category, from US-sized tailoring to letter-sized knitwear, inch-sized denim, Italian shoes and centimetre belts, with the UK equivalents Coveti lists on each product page.
Key facts
- Overall: true to size; volume is designed in
- Ready-to-wear: US 0 to 14, listed as UK 4 to 18
- Knitwear and some outerwear: XXS to XL
- Denim: waist in inches, 23 to 32
- Shoes: Italian (EU) 35 to 42; half sizes at source, whole sizes at Coveti
- Belts: waist in centimetres, 75 to 95
The short answer
Take your usual size in The Row. Read the fit note on each product page, which states whether a piece is slim, relaxed, oversized, cropped, long; trust it. Do not size down to make an oversized coat smaller; have it hemmed instead.
The Row clothing sizes: US to UK
| The Row (US) | Coveti (UK) | Letter |

Coats, tailoring, trousers, dresses, skirts and shirts are cut to US sizes. The letter column is an approximate guide for comparing with the knitwear.
Knitwear: XXS to XL
The Row sizes sweaters, cardigans and jersey tops in letters. The fit varies by style, and the house says so: the Arp is second-skin, the Tartu loose and oversized. Take your usual letter size. More on each knit in our The Row sweaters and cashmere guide.
Denim: waist in inches
The Row jeans are sized by waist measurement in inches, from 23 to 32. Take your usual jean size. The Imma Jean sits at the natural waist with a slim leg. See The Row pants and jeans guide.
Shoes: Italian (EU) sizing
| EU | UK | US |
|---|---|---|
| 35 | 2 | 5 |
| 36 | 3 | 6 |
| 37 | 4 | 7 |
| 38 | 5 | 8 |
| 39 | 6 | 9 |
| 40 | 7 | 10 |
| 41 | 8 | 11 |
| 42 | 9 | 12 |
The Row makes most shoes in half sizes; Coveti lists whole sizes. Take your usual Italian size, with one exception this season: the house recommends one size down in the Liisa Kitten Three Heel. See The Row heels guide, The Row loafers guide and The Row boots guide.
Belts: waist in centimetres
The Row belts are sized by the waist measurement in centimetres where the belt will sit, from 75 to 95. Measure over the trousers you plan to wear it with. See The Row belts and scarves.
Fit notes by category
- Coats: mostly oversized and long; take your usual size and hem if needed. See The Row coats guide.
- Trousers: cut to graze the floor in a flat shoe; petite customers usually hem.
- Dresses: the fitted styles sit close to the body; size up only for more ease. See The Row dresses and skirts.
- Shirts: each style states slim, regular and relaxed fits. See The Row shirts.
If you are between two sizes, the Coveti client team can confirm a fit before dispatch. Returns follow our logistics and returns protocol.
