Saint Vanity Size Guide: How Our Hoodies, Tees and Sets Fit
Buying clothes online always comes with one small worry: will it fit when it shows up? This Saint Vanity size guide is here to take that worry off the table. Whether you’re eyeing a hoodie, a tee or a full set of Saint Vanity clothes, below we walk through how each piece fits, what to measure before you order, and what to do if you land between two sizes.
Saint Vanity Size Guide: The Short Version
Most of the line is cut true to size. Hoodies and tees lean a little roomy on purpose, nylon sets sit relaxed, and anything with a drawcord gives you some wiggle room at the waist. So, does Saint Vanity run small? In general, no. If you wear a medium from most streetwear brands, a medium here is the right place to start.
| Category | How it fits | What to measure | If you want it looser |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies | Relaxed, true to size | Chest (pit to pit), sleeve | Go one size up |
| Tees and shirts | Regular to boxy | Chest, body length | Go one size up |
| Jackets | Regular, room to layer | Chest, sleeve | Usually not needed |
| Shorts | True to size, drawcord waist | Waist, length | Size up, tighten the cord |
| Sweatpants | Regular hip, relaxed or tapered leg | Waist, inseam | Size up for more stack |
| Tracksuits and sets | True to size, both pieces | Chest, waist, inseam | Size up the top only if sold separately |
Exact measurements change a little from style to style, so always check the size chart on the product page before you check out.
How to Measure Yourself (or a Piece You Already Own)
Honestly, the easiest trick is to grab something from your closet that fits the way you like.
- Chest: measure straight across from armpit to armpit.
- Body length: from the highest point of the shoulder down to the hem.
- Sleeve: from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
- Waist: straight across the waistband, relaxed, not stretched.
- Inseam: from the crotch seam down to the bottom of the leg.
Now compare those numbers with the chart on the product you want. If they line up within a centimeter or two, you’re good.
Saint Vanity Hoodie Size and Fit
A Saint Vanity hoodie is built to be lived in. The body is a little roomy, the shoulders drop slightly, and the ribbed hem keeps everything from looking sloppy. Your usual size gives that easy, relaxed shape most people want from a hoodie.
Want the oversized look you see on a lot of streetwear feeds? Go one size up. A good one to start with is the Saint Vanity Pullover Hoodie, or browse every style in our Saint Vanity hoodie collection.
Fabric and stretch: most of our hoodies are a brushed cotton fleece. The ribbed cuffs and hem are where the stretch lives, so they grip without squeezing.
After washing: fleece settles a touch after the first wash, mostly in length. If you wash cold and hang it up, you’ll barely notice.
Body-type tips: broad through the shoulders? Your usual size still works because of the dropped shoulder seam. Slim build and don’t want to drown in it? Stay true to size and let the ribbed hem pull the shape in.
Saint Vanity T Shirt and Shirt Fit
Every Saint Vanity t shirt runs regular, and a few of the heavier cotton styles are cut boxy. That means a slightly wider body and a shorter drop through the shoulder. If you want a Saint Vanity shirt with a clean, everyday fit, take your normal size.
If you’re tall, check body length on the chart before anything else. The Saint Vanity Griffin Tee White is a good example of the boxy cut, and you’ll find the rest in the Saint Vanity shirt collection.
Fabric and stretch: tees are cotton jersey, and the heavier ones feel thick and structured right out of the bag.
After washing: cotton is the fabric most likely to move. Expect a small amount of settling after the first couple of washes.
Body-type tips: if you carry more through the stomach, the boxy cuts are your friend because they skim instead of cling. Athletic builds with a bigger chest can size up for comfort, though a lot of people like the snug look across the chest and arms.
Saint Vanity Jacket Fit
A Saint Vanity jacket has a regular fit with enough room for a hoodie or a heavy tee underneath. Most people stick with their usual size here.
Measure a jacket you already wear across the chest and compare. Our Saint Vanity Emerald Black Jacket fits right in line with that advice, and the full range sits in the Saint Vanity jacket collection.
Fabric and stretch: jackets come in nylon shells, canvas-style cotton and padded builds. None of them stretch much, which is exactly why the shoulder measurement matters more here than anywhere else.
After washing: nylon and lined jackets hold their size very well. Follow the care label, close the zip before washing and hang it to dry.
Body-type tips: wider shoulders should check the chest number on the chart first. If you plan to wear a thick hoodie under it all winter, that’s the one case where going up a size makes sense.
Saint Vanity Shorts Fit
Saint Vanity shorts are true to size, and almost every pair has an elastic waist with a drawcord. That makes them forgiving.
Between two sizes? Pick the bigger pair and pull the cord tight. See the Saint Vanity Grey Nylon Top Shorts or the whole Saint Vanity shorts collection.
Fabric and stretch: you’ll find two kinds of shorts in the range. Nylon pairs are light and smooth with no stretch, and fleece pairs are softer with a little give. Both rely on the elastic waistband for flexibility.
After washing: nylon barely changes at all and dries in no time. Fleece shorts can settle slightly, so wash them cold and dry on low.
Body-type tips: bigger thighs? Go up a size so the leg opening doesn’t ride up when you walk or sit. If you’re on the slimmer side, true to size with the cord pulled snug is plenty.
Saint Vanity Sweatpants and Joggers Fit
Saint Vanity sweatpants fit regular through the hip. From there it depends on the style: Saint Vanity joggers taper toward a ribbed cuff, while the nylon and open-hem pants hang straight and a little wide.
Inseam is the number that matters most. If you like your pants to stack on your sneakers, size up or pick a straight-leg style. The Saint Vanity Grey Burgundy Varsity is a tapered pair, and you can compare cuts in the Saint Vanity sweatpants collection.
Fabric and stretch: fleece sweatpants have a bit of give through the seat and knees. Saint Vanity nylon pants are lighter, smoother and don’t stretch, so they hang rather than hug.
After washing: fleece can lose a little length over time if it goes through a hot dryer. Cold water and a low or no-heat dry keep the inseam where it should be.
Body-type tips: athletic legs usually feel better in a relaxed or straight cut than in a tight jogger. Shorter? A tapered jogger with cuffs stops extra length from pooling at the ankle.
Saint Vanity Tracksuit and Set Fit
Both pieces of a Saint Vanity tracksuit come in the same size and both run true to size. The tops are relaxed, and the bottoms usually have an elastic waist, so there’s a little give.
The tricky part is when your top and bottom sizes don’t match. Check out the Saint Vanity Nylon Track Set Black or browse the Saint Vanity tracksuit collection.
Fabric and stretch: each Saint Vanity set, including the Saint Vanity short set styles, is mostly nylon with a few fleece options. Nylon gives you no stretch but plenty of room in the cut. The waistband and cuffs do the adjusting.
After washing: wash both pieces together so they age the same way and keep the color matched. Cold water, zips and snaps closed, then hang to dry.
Body-type tips: if you’re bigger up top and slimmer at the waist, size for your chest and pull the drawcord in. If it’s the other way around, pick your usual top size and lean on the elastic waist for room.
How to Style Your Fit
Once the size is right, building a Saint Vanity outfit is the fun part. Try the Saint Vanity Gold Letter Varsity Joggers Grey with a cream tee like the Saint Vanity Griffin Tee Cream for an easy daytime look. If you’d rather go dark, the Saint Vanity Red Letter Varsity Joggers Black work with almost any hoodie you own.
Sets are simpler still. Wear the Saint Vanity Hooded Snap Track Set Yellow head to toe with white sneakers, or split the Saint Vanity Striped Track Suit Black and throw the jacket over jeans.
Between Sizes? Here’s What We’d Do
- For hoodies and tees, go up if you like a relaxed look, stay put if you want it clean.
- For shorts and sweatpants, go up and use the drawcord.
- For jackets, stay with your usual size.
- For sets, size for the top.
Saint Vanity Size Guide FAQs
Does Saint Vanity run small?
No. Most pieces run true to size. Hoodies and some tees are a little roomy by design, so if anything they feel slightly bigger, not smaller.
What Saint Vanity hoodie size should I get for an oversized look?
Go one size up from your usual. Two sizes up is usually too much unless you’re going for a very baggy fit.
Will my hoodie or tee shrink in the wash?
Not much if you wash cold and hang it to dry. High heat in the dryer is what shrinks cotton, so skip it.
Do sets come in mixed sizes?
Sets ship as one size for both pieces. If you’re between sizes, pick the size that fits the top.
What if it doesn’t fit?
Check our exchange policy page for details on size swaps.
Do nylon pieces fit differently from fleece?
A little. Nylon has no stretch, so it feels roomier and hangs straighter. Fleece has a bit of give and sits closer to the body.
Should I size up if I’m between sizes for a gift?
Yes. A slightly loose hoodie or pair of sweatpants gets worn. One that’s too tight sits in a drawer.
