Tops and Blouses—true to size
Apiece Apart’s tops generally run true to size with relaxed proportions. Their signature button-down shirts are cut generously through the body with dropped shoulder seams that create a contemporary, unstructured look. The sleeves tend to be roomy, which works beautifully for layering but might feel overwhelming if you prefer fitted sleeves. For most women, staying with your true size provides the intended relaxed fit, while sizing down creates a more tailored silhouette.
Their knitwear follows similar principles, with most sweaters designed to drape rather than cling. The brand's approach to knitwear sizing acknowledges that these pieces will be layered, so they're cut with generous ease through the body. This means that while a size small might fit your measurements perfectly, the aesthetic might feel looser than you're accustomed to with other brands.
Dresses and Jumpsuits—a possible category to size down
Apiece Apart dresses represent some of their most successful pieces in terms of flattering fit. Most dresses run true to size but with the brand's signature relaxed proportions. Their midi and maxi dresses are designed to skim the body rather than hug it, creating elegant silhouettes that work on a variety of body types. The waist definition varies by style; some pieces are intentionally loose and flowing, while others incorporate subtle waist definition through design details.
Jumpsuits require particular attention to sizing, as the proportional relationships are crucial for a flattering fit. Most Apiece Apart jumpsuits run true to size in the body but can be generous in length, particularly through the torso. If you have a shorter torso, sizing down might provide better proportional balance, though this should be weighed against how the piece fits through the shoulders and bust.
Pants and Skirts—some people size up
Apiece Apart bottoms also generally run true to size but with the brand's characteristic relaxed attitude toward fit. Their pants are designed with easy, comfortable silhouettes that prioritize movement and versatility over body-hugging fits. Wide-leg styles are particularly successful, as the generous cuts create beautiful, flowing lines that feel both contemporary and timeless.
Sizing considerations for Apiece Apart bottoms often center on rise and overall proportional balance. Their high-waisted styles are meant to sit high on the small of your waist. If you prefer comfortable fits, consider sizing up. The inseams tend to run long, which is typical for contemporary brands but something to consider when determining your ideal size.
