Affordable, On-Trend, and Global — But Does ASOS Sizing Run Big or Small?

ASOS is the UK’s biggest online fashion destination, offering everything from Y2K festivalwear to sharp tailoring and high-street basics. It’s known for trend-led edits, extended sizing, and a broad catalogue of brands — including its own in-house labels like ASOS Design, Collusion, and ASOS Edition.

But with so many brands, fits and silhouettes under one digital roof, sizing can feel inconsistent.

What size am I in ASOS? And how does sizing differ between their in-house brands and the other labels they sell?

Does ASOS Run Big or Small?

ASOS in-house brands tend to run true to size overall, but with variations depending on fabric, silhouette and sub-label.

Here’s what we’ve found across categories:

  • ASOS Design = true to size in most styles, but slim-fitting in tailored or occasion pieces

  • Collusion = gender-neutral, often oversized — size down for a fitted silhouette

  • ASOS Luxe / Edition = elevated, structured fits — many pieces run small

  • Marketplace brands (e.g. vintage reworks, boutique labels) = variable — always check size guides

  • Third-party brands (like Pull&Bear, Bershka, New Look) follow their own size systems, even when sold through ASOS

🎯 Tellar takes your measurements and matches them to ASOS and every brand they stock
