Desigual garments are known for their distinctive cuts, bold patterns, and often either more fitted or looser silhouettes, so before ordering, it is worth relying on more than just your usual letter size. According to the brand's official size guide, the key measurements for choosing the right size are bust, waist, and hip for women's clothing, and mainly chest and waist for men's tops.
Desigual also recommends using a piece you already own from the brand as a reference point if its fit and size have worked well for you. This can be especially useful, since even within the same brand, the way a garment fits can vary depending on whether it has a slim, regular, or oversized cut.
How to Measure Yourself
Before choosing a size, use a measuring tape to take the following measurements:
For women
- Bust: around the fullest part of the bust
- Waist: around the narrowest part of the waist
- Hips: around the fullest part of the hips
When measuring, the tape should be snug but not tight. If your measurements fall between two sizes, the cut of the garment matters a lot: for fitted clothing, it is best to focus on a precise fit, while for looser styles, the smaller size may often be enough. This conclusion can be drawn from the official size chart and the fit descriptions shown on Desigual product pages.

What to Keep in Mind When Ordering from Desigual
With Desigual, it is not enough to think only in terms of “I usually wear a medium.” What matters much more is the specific type of garment you are buying.
Check the fit.
A slim-fit dress and an oversized coat in the same size can feel completely different. Desigual often indicates the cut clearly on its product pages.
If you are between sizes, think about how you like to wear your clothes.
For narrower, figure-hugging styles, the larger size is often the more comfortable choice. For loose, straight-cut garments, going up a size is not always necessary. This is a practical conclusion based on Desigual’s size charts and fit labels.
