Linea Size Guide
About Linea Fashion: Linea is a contemporary fashion brand that combines timeless elegance with modern design sensibilities. Known for creating versatile, well-crafted pieces suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions, Linea offers an extensive range of footwear and apparel designed for the discerning customer. The brand prides itself on quality construction, thoughtful silhouettes, and a commitment to providing excellent fit across all size ranges. Whether you're shopping for shoes, dresses, or accessories, Linea's sizing is designed to provide a flattering, comfortable fit that works with your body rather than against it.
How to Measure
To ensure you select the correct Linea size, follow these simple steps to take your measurements accurately:
- Measure your chest: Wrap a soft measuring tape snugly around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape parallel to the ground. Don't pull the tape too tightly; you should be able to fit one finger comfortably underneath.
- Measure your waist: Find your natural waistline (typically where you bend to the side) and measure around it with the tape held comfortably snug. This should feel natural, not restrictive.
- Measure your hips: Standing with feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom. Keep the tape parallel to the ground and at the same tension as your other measurements.
- Measure in the evening: Bodies naturally swell throughout the day, so measuring in the afternoon or evening will give you a more accurate representation of your typical size. This is particularly important for finding comfortable footwear.
- Wear fitted clothing: For the most accurate measurements, wear fitted (not baggy) clothing whilst measuring, or measure whilst wearing minimal clothing.
- Measure both feet: If shopping for shoes, measure both of your feet as one may be slightly larger. Always purchase shoes that fit your larger foot comfortably.
- Ask for assistance: For chest and hip measurements, it's easier and more accurate if someone helps you. They can ensure the tape is held straight and parallel to the ground.

Important shoe sizing note: Feet can swell throughout the day, particularly in the afternoon and evening. When purchasing shoes, try them on later in the day or after activity to ensure they fit comfortably when your feet are at their largest. This is especially important when buying shoes online. Always allow a small amount of space (approximately the width of your thumb) between your longest toe and the end of the shoe for comfort and to prevent blistering during wear.
Width Fittings
Linea recognises that shoe width varies significantly between individuals. In addition to standard sizing, we offer the following width options:
- C / Narrow: Ideal for those with slim feet or a narrow fit preference
- D / Standard: Our standard width fitting, suitable for average feet
- E / Wide: Recommended for those with wider feet or a comfortable, roomier fit

Product-Specific Sizing Guidance
Footwear
Linea footwear ranges from elegant dress shoes to comfortable casual trainers, all crafted with attention to fit and comfort. When purchasing Linea shoes:
- Our shoes are true to standard EU sizing, with conversions provided for UK and US customers
- Different styles may have slightly different fits depending on the shoe last (the mould used in manufacture), so we recommend checking product-specific reviews for fit feedback
- Leather shoes may require a brief breaking-in period; allow a few wears for leather to mould to your foot
- If you are typically between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort, particularly in boots or closed-toe styles
- For women's shoes, consider that some styles are cut narrower than others; width options are available on selected lines
Dresses & Outerwear
Linea's dresses and outerwear are designed to flatter a range of body shapes. When selecting your size:
- Take all three measurements (bust, waist, and hips) and compare against our chart; if you fall between sizes, consider the fit style of the garment
- Our tailored pieces are cut closer to the body; if you prefer a more relaxed fit, consider sizing up
- Oversized styles are intentionally generous; consult the product description for specific fit details
- Outerwear is designed to fit over standard layering; if you plan to wear heavy knitwear underneath, consider sizing up
Sizing Tips
- Always measure yourself accurately: Rather than relying on a size you wore years ago, take fresh measurements every time you shop. Bodies change due to weight fluctuations, pregnancy, age, and lifestyle factors. Accurate measurements are your best guide to finding clothes that fit well.
- Account for brand variations: Even within the Linea collection, different product lines may have slightly different fits due to the manufacturing process or specific design intent. We always recommend reading product reviews from other customers with similar body shapes to understand how a particular piece fits.
- Check the product description carefully: Many Linea pieces include information about whether they run small, true to size, or large. This invaluable information is provided based on customer feedback and can help you make better purchasing decisions, particularly when buying online.
- Consider the fit style you prefer: Are you comfortable in fitted, tailored clothing, or do you prefer a more relaxed, oversized silhouette? Linea offers both; knowing your preference helps you select appropriately. A garment that's technically your size but doesn't match your preferred fit style won't feel right.
- Use the returns policy: Linea's flexible returns policy means you can order multiple sizes if you're unsure, and return items that don't fit without penalty. Take advantage of this to find your perfect size, particularly if you're new to the brand or unfamiliar with a specific product line.
- Measure specific items you already own: If you have a favourite item of clothing that fits you perfectly, measure it directly and compare those measurements to the Linea size chart. This real-world approach is often more reliable than relying on the size label alone, as sizing varies significantly between brands.
- Don't overlook care instructions: Some materials shrink or stretch with washing. Check the care label and product information; if an item may shrink, you might want to size up slightly. Natural fibres like cotton and wool are more prone to shrinkage than synthetic blends.
- Consider your footwear needs: When purchasing shoes, think about what you'll wear them for. Shoes for all-day wear or standing should be slightly roomier than shoes for occasional evening wear. Our width options ensure a comfortable fit for all foot shapes.
Final tip: If you remain uncertain about sizing after consulting the charts and product information, Linea's customer service team are happy to help. They can provide additional guidance based on specific products, materials, and styles to ensure you make the right choice. Don't hesitate to contact them before purchasing if you have any questions about fit.
