Does Topshop run small?

It varies between styles, collections, and even fabrics. Some items might fit snugly (think bodycon dresses), while others offer a looser, more relaxed feel (hello, boyfriend jeans!). The key is understanding their sizing system and knowing your unique body measurements.

Don’t rely solely on the label – check the size chart for specific measurements. Consider the garment’s intended fit: fitted styles might feel snugger, while relaxed pieces offer more room. Think about your preference: loose or close-fitting? Stretchy fabrics offer more flexibility. Finally, read online reviews for insights from others with similar body types. 

Is Topshop a good brand?

Whether Topshop is “good” depends on your individual priorities and preferences. They offer a wide range of trendy styles at affordable prices, making them popular for those seeking fashion-forward pieces without breaking the bank. However, some criticize their use of fast fashion practices and potential ethical concerns. Consider your values and budget when making your decision.

Is Topshop now ASOS?

No, Topshop is not the same as ASOS. While both are popular clothing retailers, they are separate companies. ASOS acquired Topshop‘s parent company, Arcadia Group, in 2020, but Topshop continues to operate under its own brand and website. However, ASOS now stocks some of the brand’s items alongside their own clothing lines.

Is Topshop considered fast fashion?

Yes, Topshop is generally considered a fast fashion brand. They produce trendy clothing in high volumes at low prices, often following rapid trends and using less expensive materials. While this affordability makes them accessible to many, it often raises concerns about ethical labor practices, environmental impact, and the sustainability of the clothing.

What size is small or medium?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this question! “Small” and “medium” can refer to very different measurements depending on the item and brand. For example, a small women’s shirt from one brand might have the same chest measurement as a medium from another. Additionally, sizing can differ between countries and regions.

Should I buy a size up or down?

Choosing the right size isn’t a one-size-fits-all equation. It depends on a mix of your personal preferences and the garment itself. Do you prefer a relaxed fit or something more snug? Consider the garment’s intended fit: is it designed to hug your curves, drape loosely, or offer extra room? 

Don’t forget to compare your measurements to the size chart – it’s your best friend in navigating sizing variations between brands. Finally, remember fabrics have personalities! Some shrink, some stretch, so factor that in too.

Which size is M or L?

Unfortunately, neither M nor L are inherently “bigger” or “smaller.” These sizes are relative and vary greatly depending on the brand, garment type, and even individual items. A size M from one brand might be closer to an L in another. Instead of relying solely on the label, compare your body measurements to the garment’s specific size chart (usually found online or on tags) for the most accurate guidance.
