Brandon Maxwell Size Guide: How the Fit Runs, With US to UK Conversion
Brandon Maxwell runs true to size. The brand marks every Fall Winter 2026 garment true to size and recommends your normal size. Tailoring and dresses come in US 0 to 14, which is UK 4 to 18; knitwear and jersey come in XS to XL; denim comes in waist sizes 24 to 30. The house model is 178cm (5ft 10in) and wears a US 2 (UK 6), a size Small in knitwear and a 25 in denim.

Because Maxwell drapes his clothes on the body, the fit is precise. That is good news if you know your size, and a reason to check the fabric if you are between two.
Brandon Maxwell US to UK and EU sizes
| Brandon Maxwell (US) | UK | EU | Letter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 4 | 32 | XXS |
| 2 | 6 | 34 | XS |
| 4 | 8 | 36 | S |
| 6 | 10 | 38 | M |
| 8 | 12 | 40 | M |
| 10 | 14 | 42 | L |
| 12 | 16 | 44 | XL |
| 14 | 18 | 46 | XL |
EU and letter equivalents are approximate. At Luxury Shoes , Brandon Maxwell numeric sizes are listed on the UK ladder, so a US 2 appears as a UK 6.
Fit by fabric
- Bonded velvet (Farren, Sable, Alora): structured, with no stretch beyond 2% elastane. Take your true size; size up if you are between sizes.
- Pleated viscose satin (Karina, Fiora, Sinclair): the pleats give natural stretch. The brand notes slight stretch if you are between sizes, so your usual size works.
- Stretch mikado (Joelle, Lex): structured and fitted. Take your usual size.
- Italian crepe (Irving, Haze, Petra): fluid, with 3% elastane for comfort.
- Lamb leather (Remi, Dean, Trinity): leather softens and gives a little with wear, so a close fit at first is right.
- Knitwear (Aubrey, Demi, Lowen, Keaton): letter sized; the Lowen and Joanna are relaxed, the Aubrey and Demi sit close.
Denim sizing
The Lana Jean is sized by waist in inches, 24 to 30. It is a relaxed wide leg with side pleats, so choose your true waist; the volume is in the leg, not the waist.
Knitwear and jersey sizing
The jersey dresses and knits run XS to XL. The model wears a Small. The Lowen Cardigan and Joanna sweater are relaxed, so take your usual size for an easy fit; the cropped Aubrey Cardigan and strapless Demi Bandeau Top are close fitting.
Bags and jewellery
Bags are one size. The Vance Weekender is about 44 by 28cm, the Maxwell 30 by 14cm and the Louise Pochette 23 by 15cm. The Trove Cuff has an open back that adjusts to the wrist. See Brandon Maxwell bags explained.
Three fit tips from our editors
- If you are between sizes in a structured fabric, take the larger size and tailor the waist.
- Maxwell’s trousers are high rise; measure your natural waist, not your hip.
- Floor length gowns are cut to be worn with a heel, so try them on in the shoes you plan to wear.
Shop the Brandon Maxwell collection, and read the Brandon Maxwell dresses guide for fit notes by style.
Fit notes by style
| Style | Sizes | Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Bex Gown, Petra Gown, Farren Dress | US 0 to 14 | Column, close through the body |
| Karina, Fiora | US 0 to 14 | Slight stretch from the pleats |
| Sable, Joelle minis | US 0 to 14 | Structured; Sable is relaxed through the body |
| Siena Tank Dress | XS to XL | Fitted jersey, flared hem |
| Irving, Dean trousers | US 0 to 14 | High rise; Dean is pleated and tapered |
| Remi, Alora jackets | US 0 to 14 (Remi wool XS to XL) | Cropped, structured shoulder |
| Trinity, Sabrina coats | XS to XL | Relaxed wrap; cocoon |
| Lowen, Joanna, Keaton knits | XS to XL | Relaxed |
| Aubrey cardigan, Demi top | XS to XL | Cropped and close |
How to measure yourself
- Bust: around the fullest part, tape level under the arms.
- Waist: at the narrowest point, usually just above the navel. Maxwell trousers sit here.
- Hips: around the fullest part, feet together.
- Height: the house model is 178cm; if you are shorter, floor length gowns will pool slightly, which suits a heel.
Compare your measurements with the size guide on each Luxury Handbags product page, which shows the fit verdict and the model’s size for that exact piece.
