Size Guides and Fitting Tips
Olivier Strelli advises that you measure from your actual body and not over clothing for the highest accuracy of your body measurements.
To choose the right size for your body shape, please use the Olivier Strelli size guide for measurements and fitting tips for the perfect fit.
The fit of the product depends on the cut and fabric . The product will vary in size depending on the fabric.
As all our products are made in Europe (with the exception of scarves which are made in India due to the available and quality of fabrics for them) all are labelled with the European sizes. However, we do indicate the UK size on the label for our UK customers.
In general EU sizes are slightly larger in size compared to the UK sizing. For example a size 12 product is slightly smaller than a size 40 in European sizing although they may be the same sizes.
There will however be variation in sizes due to the different fabrics and cuts used for each product and this way of sizing may not be relevant in these circumstances. If you are in doubt please contact our Product Advisor who will be happy to be of assistance.

Shirts
All shirts will state either S, M, L, XL or XXL. Please be advised that when it comes to slim-fit shirts the cuts tend to be very slim-fit. This is especially so if the fabric is of a certain material also. If you require a fit with more room it is advisable to go for one size up when choosing a shirt that is slim-fit in cut. If in doubt please contact our Product Advisor for exact measurements on a particular shirt to ascertain whether the specified size would be the right sizing for you.
