KAFFE Size Guide
KAFFE is a contemporary Danish fashion brand specialising in stylish, high-quality clothing designed specifically for women with curves. With a philosophy centred on celebrating and flattering a fuller figure, KAFFE Curve creates collections that prioritise both comfort and confidence. The brand offers everything from tailored trousers and elegant blouses to casual knitwear and outerwear, all carefully proportioned to complement a curvier silhouette. KAFFE's sizing tends to run true to size and follows standard UK sizing conventions, though individual pieces may vary depending on fabric, cut, and specific design elements. Whether you're looking for everyday essentials or occasion wear, KAFFE's thoughtfully designed pieces are crafted to make you feel confident and comfortable.
How to Measure
For the most accurate size selection, take your measurements whilst wearing light, close-fitting clothing or underwear. Use a soft measuring tape and keep it parallel to the ground without pulling too tightly. Measure twice to ensure accuracy, and refer to your actual measurements when selecting your size rather than relying solely on your typical dress size.
- Bust/Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape snug but not tight. The tape should sit straight across your back and chest at the widest points.
- Waist: Measure at your natural waist line, which is typically the narrowest point between your rib cage and hip bones. Keep the tape comfortably positioned without pulling or creating tension.
- Hips: Measure around the widest part of your hips and bottom, ensuring the tape is level all the way around. This is typically 7–9 inches below your waist measurement.
- Length (Optional): For tops and dresses, measure from the top of your shoulder down to your desired hem length. For trousers, measure from your waist down the inside seam of your leg to your ankle or desired hem length.
- Record your measurements: Write down all measurements in both centimetres and inches, as this will help you compare against the size charts below.

Product-Specific Guidance
The brand offers jeans and trousers in both letter sizes (S, M, L, XL) and numerical EU sizes (42–56). For the best fit in trousers and jeans, it is essential to match your hip and waist measurements to the specific product's size chart, as different styles (slim fit, regular fit, wide-leg, etc.) have varying proportions. Always check customer reviews for your chosen item, as different fabrics, stretch levels, and cuts may fit differently. Popular styles include the KCpetri Jeans and KColia Trousers; ensure you're consulting the fit guide specific to your selected piece.
Tops and blouses are typically available in S, M, L, and XL sizes with EU equivalents (42–54). Most tops are designed to skim the curves comfortably without being overly tight, creating a flattering silhouette across a range of sizes. Pay close attention to sleeve length and torso length information if you're taller or shorter than average, as these dimensions can significantly impact the overall fit and comfort of a top.
Knitwear pieces including jumpers, sweaters, and cardigans are offered in letter sizes and typically run true to size. The brand's careful construction ensures these pieces drape beautifully on curves whilst maintaining comfort. Due to the nature of knitwear fabrics, slight variation in fit is normal between items.
Sizing Tips
- Always compare your measurements to the size chart rather than relying on your usual size, as fit can vary considerably across different styles and fabrics within KAFFE's collections.
- Check piece-specific fit guides: KAFFE Curve designs pieces with varying proportions, so a size M in one style may fit differently to a size M in another. Always review the individual product description and fit information.
- Pay attention to fabric composition: Items with different fabric blends (cotton, elastane, polyester) may stretch or fit differently. Check customer reviews to gauge how specific fabrics perform.
- Consider your body shape and proportions: KAFFE Curve is specifically designed for women with curves, but within that philosophy there is variety. If you find one piece fits beautifully, make a note of its specific size for future reference.
- Sleeve and length variations matter: Don't overlook sleeve length, torso length, and hem length information. These details are crucial for ensuring a flattering, comfortable fit, particularly if you're taller or shorter than average.
- Take advantage of customer reviews: Other shoppers often provide valuable feedback on fit, stretch, and sizing accuracy for specific items. Reading multiple reviews can help you make a more informed size decision.
- Order from retailers with easy returns: Many stockists of KAFFE offer 90-day return windows and free returns, allowing you to order multiple sizes and return what doesn't fit, with no penalty.
- Measure consistently: Measure yourself in the same manner each time—at the same time of day, in the same light clothing—to ensure your measurements remain accurate for future purchases.
