Skinny Dip Size Guide
About Skinny Dip Sizing
Skinny Dip London specialises in contemporary, fashion-forward clothing and accessories designed for those who want to express themselves through bold, playful designs. The brand's sizing philosophy prioritises comfort and versatility, with a focus on on-trend fits that work for both men and women. Skinny Dip uses UK sizing as standard and designs garments that allow for creative, slightly oversized styling whilst maintaining a refined silhouette.
Whether you're shopping for unisex pieces, classic womenswear, or menswear, Skinny Dip's size guidance ensures you'll find the perfect fit. The brand is known for high-quality materials, often sourced sustainably, and thoughtful construction that stands up to regular wear. Most garments are designed to be worn true to size, though unisex items offer flexibility for different styling preferences.
How to Measure Yourself
To find your perfect Skinny Dip size, follow these simple steps. Wear fitted clothing or minimal layers whilst measuring, and use a soft measuring tape. Measurements should be taken snugly around the body without pulling too tightly.
- Chest: Measure horizontally around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the ground. For Skinny Dip garments, this is measured pit-to-pit (armpit to armpit) on the finished garment.
- Waist: Find your natural waistline (just above your hip bones) and measure around it. Keep the tape comfortably loose—you should be able to fit one finger between the tape and your body.
- Hips: Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks, keeping the tape level with the ground.
- Length: For tops and dresses, measure from the top of your shoulder down to where you'd like the garment to end. For trousers, measure from your natural waistline down the inside of your leg to your ankle.
- Always check product descriptions: Skinny Dip recommends reviewing the specific measurements listed in each product's description, as sizing can vary between different styles and collections.

Unisex & Oversized Styles
Some Skinny Dip pieces are designed with a unisex fit to appeal to all shoppers. If you prefer an oversized silhouette, follow these guidelines:
For Men: Order your standard size to achieve an intentionally oversized, contemporary look that's perfect for street style and relaxed wear.
For Women: Order your true size and enjoy a nicely oversized fit that offers comfort and style versatility. This works particularly well for sweatshirts, hoodies, and graphic tees.
As always, we recommend checking the specific product description and model fit information, as some unisex items may fit differently depending on the collection and design.
Sizing Tips for Skinny Dip
- Order True to Size: With the majority of Skinny Dip garments, we recommend ordering your true size. This ensures the best fit and allows the garment design to work as intended. Size up only if you specifically prefer a looser, more oversized fit.
- Check Product Descriptions Carefully: Skinny Dip sizes can vary between different products and collections. Always read the detailed measurements provided in each product listing and compare them to the size chart. Check what the model is wearing for a visual reference of the fit.
- Know Your Measurements: Rather than relying solely on size labels, measure your body and compare your measurements directly to the product specifications. This is the most reliable way to guarantee the perfect fit, especially for tops and dresses where length can be particularly important.
- Unisex Pieces Offer Styling Flexibility: If you're drawn to an unisex Skinny Dip item but unsure about fit, remember that men can wear their standard size for an oversized look, whilst women can do the same for a nice, relaxed oversized silhouette. Neither requires sizing up or down.
- Account for the ±3cm Tolerance: All Skinny Dip measurements come with a tolerance of plus or minus 3 centimetres. This means if a chest measurement is listed as 90cm, the actual garment may measure between 87–93cm. Factor this into your decision when choosing between sizes.
- Contact Customer Service for Questions: If you're uncertain about which size to choose or have specific fit concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to Skinny Dip's customer service team at [email protected]. They're happy to provide personalised sizing advice and product recommendations.
- Review Return Policy: Skinny Dip stands behind the quality of their clothing. Familiarise yourself with the return and exchange policy so you can shop with confidence. If a garment doesn't fit as expected, you'll have options to exchange for a different size.
- Consider Fabric and Care: Some materials may shrink slightly with washing, particularly natural fibres. Skinny Dip prioritises sustainable and quality materials, so always review care instructions to maintain your garment's fit and longevity after purchase.
