How to Measure
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure parallel to the ground. Wear an unpadded shirt and ensure the tape is snug but not tight.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline (just above the hip bone), where you would normally wear trousers. Keep the tape comfortably loose.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks. The tape should be level all the way around.
- Arm Length (Menswear): Measure from the centre back neck, across the shoulder, and down to the wrist bone with your arm bent slightly. This measurement determines sleeve length and overall jacket fit.
- Shoulder Width: For jackets and blazers, measure across the back from shoulder point to shoulder point at the widest part.
- Length (Trousers & Skirts): For trousers, measure the inseam from the inside of the leg at the groin to the ankle bone. For skirts and dresses, measure from the natural waist to your desired hemline.

Product-Specific Guidance
Blazers & Jackets
Hugo blazers and jackets are tailored with a modern, slightly fitted silhouette. Size according to your chest measurement and desired fit. If you fall between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort and ease of movement. Pay attention to arm length, which varies between regular and long fits. Jackets feature structured shoulders and are designed to sit just at the hip. When buttoned, there should be minimal pulling across the chest.
Shirts
Dress shirts should be sized by collar measurement first, then check the overall chest and arm length. Hugo shirts are designed for a tailored look without excessive fabric. If you find your usual size too tight across the chest, opt for the next size up rather than accepting tight collar fit, which will compromise comfort and appearance. Casual and smart-casual shirts offer slightly more relaxed cuts than formal dress shirts.
Knitwear (Sweaters & Cardigans)
Knitwear tends to have a more relaxed, contemporary fit compared to tailored pieces. Measure your chest and choose based on desired ease; many customers prefer a size closer to their chest measurement for a modern slim fit, or one size up for a more comfortable, layered look. Arm length is consistent with body sizing, so verify before purchasing if you have longer arms.
Trousers & Chinos
Hugo trousers are sized by waist and inseam. Always measure your natural waist (where you normally wear trousers) and your inseam carefully, as a 2cm difference will noticeably affect the silhouette. Hugo offers regular and long inseam options. Trousers are designed with a modern taper, so they sit higher and slimmer through the leg than traditional cuts.
Footwear
Hugo shoes follow standard UK and European shoe sizing. Men's and women's sizes are clearly differentiated. We recommend trying shoes in the afternoon when your feet are slightly swollen after a day of activity, as this better reflects how they will feel during everyday wear. Use the foot length conversion provided to cross-reference your size; UK 9 for men equals approximately 27cm foot length.
Sizing Tips
- Check individual product descriptions: Each Hugo piece includes a detailed size chart and product description. Fabrics, construction, and fit can vary by collection, so always consult the product-specific guidance before ordering.
- Consider your body shape: Hugo offers regular, long, and stocky cuts for menswear. If you are above 6ft (183cm), a long fit will provide proper arm length and torso length. If you have a broader build with shorter limbs, stocky sizing ensures better proportions.
- Use the Fit Finder tool: Hugo Boss provides an intelligent Fit Finder tool on their website. Input your vital statistics and desired fit preference to receive a personalised size recommendation. This is especially helpful if you are between sizes or purchasing online for the first time.
- Measure carefully in centimetres and inches: Hugo uses both measurement systems interchangeably. Use the conversions provided here to verify your size across different markets and sizing standards.
- Allow for layering: If you plan to wear knitwear or shirts under jackets, choose a jacket size that accommodates this comfortably. Hugo jackets are tailored, so they may feel snug if worn over heavy knitwear without upsizing.
- Note that care labels show German sizing: EU sizes printed on care labels are German sizing conventions. Always refer to size charts for UK, US, or other regional sizing when ordering.
- Return policies are generous for account holders: Hugo Boss offers free returns for customers with registered accounts in the UK. Take advantage of this to try sizes at home if uncertain, ensuring proper fit before keeping your purchase.
