How Tellar.co.uk helps you shop confidently
Let’s dive in.
1. Why Sizing Is Tricky (Even with Acne Studios)
Clothing brands often use unique fit systems – your measurements don’t always align with their sizing charts. A size 38 in Acne Studios may not match the same label elsewhere. At Tellar.co.uk, we turn bust, waist, and hip measurements into precise size mappings across 1,500 brands including Acne. That means no more guessing or returns.
2. Does Acne Studios Run Big or Small?
According to Tellar research, Acne's sizing tends to vary by garment:
-
Outerwear & jackets often run large – consider sizing down
-
Trousers & jeans are largely true to size
-
Knitwear & tees lean oversized – size down if you want a streamlined look
-
Footwear and boots generally run large – size down by 0.5 for a snug fit

This mirrors feedback from real customers—many report relaxed shirt fits and roomy footwear.

4. What Acne Pieces Are Worth Buying
A. Outerwear & Jackets
Acne coats are iconic, but they tend to run large. Tip: try sizing down if you’re between sizes or prefer a sleek silhouette.
B. Jeans & Trousers
The brand’s roots are in denim—with reliable waist and hip sizing. Stick to your regular size while noting cut differences (e.g., high-rise vs tapered).
C. Knitwear & Tops
Expect oversized cuts. If you're layering, size down; if layering over chunky pieces, your regular size works.
D. Boots & Shoes
Samples lean roomy. Size down by half for the best fit.
E. Investment Tips
-
Core Acne pieces like the Canada Coat and Jensen boots hold value
-
Minimal basics offer timeless appeal with fewer fit challenges
-
Seasonal/editonal pieces: always use Tellar’s garment-level fit notes (e.g. “oversized”, “fitted”)
