Hollister Size Guide
Hollister is an American casual clothing brand renowned for its trendy, laid-back aesthetic and youthful designs. The brand specialises in contemporary casualwear including jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, dresses, and outerwear that appeals to teenagers and young adults seeking comfortable, fashion-forward pieces. Hollister's sizing philosophy embraces a relaxed, comfortable fit with a modern silhouette. The brand is particularly known for its generous, slightly oversized approach to sizing, which many customers find appealing for everyday wear. Hollister clothing tends to run larger than standard sizing, so it's important to check the specific size chart for each garment type, as measurements can vary between different product categories. The brand offers both numerical sizing (for jeans) and alphabetical sizing (for other clothing items), along with comprehensive international size conversion options.
How to Measure
To find your correct Hollister size, follow these measurement instructions. Use a soft measuring tape and wear minimal undergarments or form-fitting clothing for accuracy:
- Bust/Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your bust or chest, keeping the tape measure parallel to the ground and snug but not tight.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waist (the narrowest point) with the tape measure positioned horizontally. Keep it relaxed and don't pull tight.
- Hips: Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, keeping the tape parallel to the ground.
- Inseam (for jeans and trousers): Wearing shoes you'd normally pair with jeans, measure from the top inner thigh down the inside of your leg to the ankle bone.
- Length (for dresses): Measure from the top of your shoulder down to where you'd like the garment to finish, or refer to Hollister's height-based recommendations for dresses.
- Shoulder width: For outerwear, measure from the top of one shoulder to the top of the other shoulder across the back.
- Sleeve length: With your arm slightly bent, measure from the centre back neck, across your shoulder, and down to your wrist.
Tip: Take all measurements whilst standing in front of a mirror. Record all measurements in both inches and centimetres for easy comparison with Hollister's international sizing options.
Hollister women's jeans use numerical sizing (0, 2, 4, 6, etc.), whilst other trousers use alphabetical sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL). The chart below includes multiple international conversions and fits for standard and curvy body types.
