Does Burberry Run Small? (Sizing System Explained)

Burberry tops and dresses primarily run small, but their pants are true to size. Their shoes also run small.

Burberry is well-known worldwide and is a luxury brand selling expensive clothing. They have been a top competitor among luxury labels since 1856.

However, lately they have been struggling a lot with sizing problems.

I love and appreciate the craftsmanship behind Burberry, so I do own a lot of products from the brand. This makes me the perfect guy to tell you about all their sizing problems and what you need to do in order to get the perfect fit for your unique body type.

In order to show my gratitude to you for reading this article, I present to you a gift. You can click on the button below; it leads to a Burberry page where I have applied a combination of filters and sorting systems that will show you the cheapest items on their website.

How do Burberry Clothes Fit?

Generally, Burberry tops and dresses tend to run small, while their pants are true to size. Similarly, their shoes also have a tendency to run small.

Burberry is primarily a European brand, which is a clientele that usually prefers more form-fitting clothing, which could influence their sizing choices. But when compared to the American sizing system, this can lead to problems.

So here’s what I recommend. Here’s a link to the official Burberry size chart. Compare your measurements with the chart, see what size you fall under, and simply go one size up compared to that.

This advice rings true for most of their product categories, including suits and dresses.

So far, following this rule of thumb, I haven’t had to deal with the hassle of returns and exchanges.

Burberry clothes are no joke and can be quite heavy on the pocket, so it is best to avoid sizing issues where possible.

One more thing 👉 Sometimes the Burberry website shows discounts on products only after going through the clearance section and not if you directly go to the product page. Thus, always check for your product in the sale section on the Burberry website.

Different Burberry Suits and Their Sizing

When it comes to Burberry suits, it’s important to know that the sizing can vary depending on the type of suit you’re looking at. Here are some of the different types of Burberry suits and what you can expect in terms of sizing

Burberry London Suits

Burberry London suits are known for their classic, tailored look. If you’re looking for a suit that fits close to the body, then Burberry London may be a good option for you. It’s also important to note that Burberry London suits are typically made with a slimmer cut, so they may not be the best option if you have a larger build.

Burberry Brit Suits

Burberry Brit suits are a bit more relaxed than Burberry London suits. They still have a tailored look, but they’re not as form-fitting. If you’re looking for a suit that’s comfortable and easy to wear, then Burberry Brit may be a good option for you. However, keep in mind that these suits still tend to run small, so you may want to consider sizing up.

Burberry Prorsum Suits

Burberry Prorsum suits are the most fashion-forward of the Burberry suit options. These suits are typically made with bold patterns and colors and are designed to make a statement. If you’re looking for a unique and eye-catching suit, then Burberry Prorsum may be a good option for you.

Which Burberry Clothes Run Small?

Burberry Clothes	Sizing
Shirts	One size small
Pants	True to size
Dresses	One size small
Shoes	One size small

Shirts

Burberry tops run smaller than usual. Their tops require sizing up for the best fit.

I own several tops and shirts from Burberry, and I can tell you that I always size up. I am usually an XS in other US brands, but for Burberry, I have to go for a size S in this brand.

Depending on your bust size, you can go somewhere between one or two sizes up. Going one size up would be ideal for the best fit.

Pants

Burberry Bottoms are true to size. There is no need to size up or down in any case.

Bottoms from the brand are a good fit and follow regular US sizing patterns. You will be fine with the waist and such.

However, you can size up in leggings if you need clarification on the fit. For everything else, regular sizes will do.

Dresses

Dresses from Burberry run small. You will need to size up when buying their dresses.

Just like their tops, Burberry dresses are also more petite in size. I own two of their A-lines, and I can say for sure that they run small.

Bodycon dresses from the brand can run two sizes small and fit too tight. It is better to size up twice for bodycon if you have a heavy bust and hips.

Shoes

Shoes from Burberry usually run half a size small. You can quickly size up once for the best fit.

Burberry shoes are also on the list of small-sized items. Their shoes can be tight and uncomfortable in your regular size.

Usually, you will be good with about half a size up. However, you can also go one size up without any problem.
