Palm Angels Size Guide
Palm Angels is a luxury streetwear brand that seamlessly blends Los Angeles skate culture with Italian craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. Founded in 2015 by Francesco Ragazzi — who initially started the project in 2011 as a photography documentation of LA skate culture — Palm Angels has evolved into one of the most sought-after names in contemporary fashion. Worn by the likes of A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti and Joe Jonas, the brand is characterised by its bold graphics, signature logo treatments and relaxed silhouettes that reflect the audacious style of California’s streets. Palm Angels uses European (Italian/French) sizing as standard, which can initially appear confusing to UK and US shoppers. The brand generally fits true to size with a relaxed, comfortable cut across its T-shirts, hoodies, jackets and trousers. Pieces are not inherently oversized unless specifically stated in the product description. If you’re between sizes, it is recommended to size up rather than down, as the brand can run ever so slightly small depending on your build. For a streetwear-appropriate oversized look, go up one or two sizes from your usual fit.
How to Measure
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure horizontal and under your arms. Ensure the tape is snug but not tight, and take the measurement whilst breathing normally.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, which is typically the narrowest part of your torso, approximately one inch above your navel. Keep one finger between the tape and your body for a comfortable, accurate reading.
- Hips: Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, keeping the tape measure parallel to the floor.
- Inside Leg: Measure from the top of your inside leg at the crotch down to where you want the trousers to sit — typically at your ankle bone. For tracksuit bottoms, measure to the floor whilst wearing trainers for the most accurate length.
- Shoulder Width: Measure straight across the back from the edge of one shoulder to the other, keeping the tape flat against your body.
- Sleeve Length: With your arm slightly bent, measure from the centre back of your neck, across your shoulder and down to your wrist bone.
- Foot Length: Stand on a piece of paper and mark the furthest points of your heel and longest toe. Measure the distance between these two marks in centimetres for the most accurate shoe size conversion.

Is Palm Angels True to Size?
This is the most common question people ask about Palm Angels, and the short answer is: yes, largely true to size. The majority of Palm Angels garments are cut with a regular fit that is designed to be comfortable and somewhat relaxed — in keeping with the brand’s skate culture heritage. However, the fit is not oversized unless the product description specifically states so. If anything, depending on your build, you may find certain pieces run very slightly small. For example, a Large in Palm Angels jackets corresponds to a UK/US 40, and an XL to a 42. If you are on the cusp of two sizes, the smaller option may feel a touch snug.
Should I Size Up or Down in Palm Angels?
Because Palm Angels is a streetwear label, many wearers prefer a relaxed, oversized silhouette. If that is the look you are going for, size up one or two sizes from your usual fit. If you are between sizes, we recommend going for the next size up to be safe, as the smaller size may be slightly too fitted for a streetwear aesthetic. Conversely, if you prefer a more tailored or body-conscious look, you could size down by one size from your standard to achieve a closer fit — though this is less typical for the brand’s intended style.
Category-Specific Fit Guidance
T-Shirts & Hoodies
Palm Angels T-shirts and hoodies tend to fit true to size with a regular cut. They are designed to look relaxed rather than tight. Stick to your usual size for the intended look, or go up one size for a more oversized streetwear appearance. The brand’s signature logo tees and graphic hoodies are amongst its most popular items, and they are cut to drape comfortably without being excessively baggy at the standard size.
Tracksuits
Palm Angels tracksuits are designed to fit closer to the body than some other garments in the range, but they are not slim cut. The tracksuit tops have a consistent sleeve length across sizes (approximately 19–20.5 inches), with the main variation being in the chest and shoulder width. Tracksuit bottoms maintain a 30-inch inside leg across most sizes, with the waist graduating from 30 inches at X-Small to 38 inches at XX-Large. Stick to your regular size for tracksuits.
Jackets & Outerwear
Palm Angels jackets are cut with a regular fit. Note that a Large corresponds to a 40 (UK/US) and an XL to a 42, which can feel slightly small if you are accustomed to more generous outerwear. If you plan to layer underneath — for instance, wearing a hoodie beneath a jacket — consider sizing up by one to allow room.
Sweatpants
Sweatpants are sized by waist measurement in the EU numeric system. A 30-inch waist corresponds to EU 40, whilst a 46-inch waist corresponds to EU 56. These feature elastic or drawstring waistbands, so there is some flexibility in the fit, but choosing the correct base size will ensure the best drape and comfort.
Footwear
Palm Angels shoes use Italian EU sizing and generally fit true to size. If you find your foot measurement falls between two sizes, size up for a more comfortable fit or size down if you prefer a snugger feel. Always measure your foot length in centimetres and refer to the foot length column in the shoe charts above for the most accurate conversion.
Sizing Tips
- Understand the EU sizing system: Palm Angels uses Italian/French EU sizing on its labels. A quick reference: EU 46 = S, EU 48 = M, EU 50 = L, EU 52 = XL. Familiarise yourself with this to avoid ordering the wrong size.
- Between sizes? Size up: If your measurements place you between two Palm Angels sizes, always opt for the larger size. The brand can run very slightly small, and a streetwear label like this is best worn with a relaxed rather than tight fit.
- Try before you buy where possible: Palm Angels is available in a number of luxury retailers and department stores. If you can try on in-store, do so — particularly for jackets and tracksuits where the fit is more structured.
- Check product descriptions for fit notes: Some Palm Angels pieces are deliberately designed with an oversized or loose fit, and this will be stated on the label or product page. Factor this in before sizing up further, or you may end up with a garment that is far too large.
- Consider your intended look: Palm Angels’ roots are in skate culture, so the brand looks best when worn with a degree of looseness. If you want the authentic streetwear silhouette, go up one size from your usual. For a more polished, fitted approach, stick to your true size.
- Layer wisely with outerwear: If you intend to wear a Palm Angels jacket over a hoodie or thick sweatshirt, size up by one to ensure comfortable layering without restricting movement.
- Measure your feet in the afternoon: Feet tend to swell slightly throughout the day. For the most accurate shoe fit, measure your feet later in the day and compare against the foot length column in the shoe charts above.
- Tracksuit consistency: Palm Angels tracksuit bottoms maintain a remarkably consistent 30-inch inside leg from X-Small through X-Large, so the primary variable is waist and thigh width. Focus on your waist measurement when choosing your tracksuit bottoms size.
