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).

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.

Wish I'd bought these sooner!

"These shorts are flattering and comfortable. Long enough to wear to the office in summer and comfortable enough for weekend wear as well. I am in between 2XS and XS, and went with the smaller size on these. Unfortunately, summer is over and I have to wait 'til next year to wear them again."

I need 5 more immediately

"These are perfect for awful summer days when you can't stand to wear anything or have shorts bunching up. I bought these because I have the linen pants in the same cut, and it is the BEST cut - they drape so perfectly, nothing is clinging. Would be buying more immediately but the colors options just don't hit for me this year. I have my staple black and might get a second one - one for office and one for home."

Perfect summer shorts

"bought these to go with the belted black linen blazer. The fabric is luxurious and they are cut long enought that you can wear them to the office . . ."

I love US’s linen!

"These shorts were exactly what I was looking for this summer. not too long and not too short, US’s perfect linen blend and just a touch of formality with the pleats. Deep and useful pockets as always. Feels a little like a skirt but it’s shorts! Thanks again US!"
