How do I find my size at Universal Standard?

We recommend measuring yourself for the best fit. Measure around your bust at the fullest point, your waist at the narrowest part, and your hips at the fullest part. Compare your measurements to our size chart to find your perfect fit. Our sizes range from 00-40 (4XS to 4XL). If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Visit our Find My Size page at universalstandard.com/pages/find-my-size for detailed guidance.

What is Universal Sizing?

We thought conventional sizing seemed skewed, so we shifted the spotlight to reflect the real bell curve. If the average woman wears a size 18, then that should be called a Medium, right? Our sample size is an 18, and we engineer every single size from there to ensure the perfect fit for all of US. Our sizes range from 00-40 (4XS to 4XL in Universal Standard sizing).

What is your return and exchange policy?

We offer free shipping and fast returns. If you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, you can return or exchange items through our Returns Portal at universalstandard.happyreturns.com. Exchanges are free for domestic customers. Please note that Final Sale items are not eligible for returns.

Fit Liberty is our revolutionary shopping program that allows you to buy for the size you are right now. Any piece in the Fit Liberty collection is eligible for a one-year size exchange (beyond our standard return policy) should you go up or down in size within a year. We've expanded this program from 40 styles to over 400 styles! Look for the Fit Liberty Eligible icon on product pages. Process your Fit Liberty exchange through our Returns Portal and select Fit Liberty as the return reason.

How do Universal Standard clothes fit?

Our fits vary by style. Skimming fit is designed for a comfortable fit that lays closer to the body without clinging. Each product page includes specific fit details and model measurements to help you choose the right size. Our model information typically shows the size worn and the model's measurements for reference.

What materials does Universal Standard use?

We use premium, carefully selected fabrics for comfort and durability. Each product page displays the specific fabric composition and care instructions under the Fabric & Care section. Our materials are chosen to maintain their quality wash after wash. Common fabrics include our signature Moro Ponte, premium cotton blends, and luxurious liquid jersey.

Chic with the Perfect Punk Edge

"I’m a little obsessed with the look of this unusual kind of sweatshirt. It manages to be chic with just the right touch of punk attitude. The zipper detail is especially striking… it’s not something you see very often, and it adds a visual edge that makes the whole piece feel unique. People have already commented on it in the best way. I purchased the black, which is beautiful and easy to pair with almost anything. That said, I like it so much that I’m seriously considering coming back for the other color as well."

— Melinda S. (5/5)

Excellent top

"I love this cute sweatshirt so much I have it in two colors and two sizes. I love the side zip and the fabric. I have worn it to work and to lounge around."

— Dawne M. (5/5)

So glad I got it

"It's exactly what I thought it was going to be. Fits perfectly! So happy :)"

— Holly M. (5/5)

Soft and versatile

"This pullover is comfortable and soft. I love that I can customize the fit by unzipping the zipper from either the top or the bottom - or both! With my ample hips making most shirts ride up, I can unzip the bottom part to allow more room for comfort!"

— Andree T. (5/5)

Beautiful and unique

"OK, so I have to admit I was a little disappointed when I opened the bag and saw a sweatshirt instead of a sweater, but that's 100% on me because the description is clear. I love this piece and get so many compliments on it. Glad I got it in blue before they ran out. I just had weight loss surgery and can't wait until I reach my goal so I can get more US clothing!"

— Becky P. (5/5)

So good

"I admired this shirt for weeks before finally buying it because it's a bit more expensive than what I'd usually pay for a sweatshirt. But it's great. I love the versatility of the zipper and the color is so nice. Very happy I splurged!"

— Danielle S. (5/5)

This is a signature piece for me

"I live in sweatshirts. I have several of the Meridian zip pullover. I love the edginess of the zippers. It elevates my usual sweatshirt look."

— Leigh-Ann T. (5/5)

Love this zip front sweater!

"Great fit- love the style and color."

— B S. (5/5)

Too form fitting on me.

"I've been admiring this piece for awhile so I was disappointed when it just didn't fit my figure. I ordered my regular size and it was just too form fitting for my comfort. Right now I'm debating between exchanging for a larger size or just returning. The lapis color is so pretty."

— Maryse (4/5)

Cool idea - but sadly the zip doesn't lie nicely

"I like the idea of this. It's the second I've ordered. The zip broke on the first - and this one it just doesn't lie flat. I like the concept but it's hard to make good on!"

— Frances C. (3/5)
