How to choose your size
We have collected the most important information about sizing, measuring and reading size charts in one place. For SIKSILK you will find a general size guide in centimetres below, matching the data we received from the manufacturer. For OLAVOGA use the size chart on the specific product page, because individual styles may differ in cut, length and fabric elasticity. You will find it next to the size selection on each product page.
Measuring guide
To choose your size without guessing, compare not only your body measurements, but also a garment you already wear often and that fits you well. This can genuinely save you time and reduce the chance of needing a return.
How to measure your body
- Chest – measure around the widest part, keeping the tape measure horizontal.
- Waist – measure at the narrowest point or where your trousers naturally sit.
- Hips – measure around the widest part of your hips and seat.
- Inside leg length – from the crotch to the end of the leg.
- Insole length – for footwear, compare it with shoes that fit you best.
How to measure a garment
- Lay the garment flat without stretching the fabric.
- Compare the measurements with the product chart or the brand’s general size guide.
- Check notes about elasticity, for example “fabric stretches up to...”.
- For fitted styles, pay particular attention to the waist, hips and chest.
- For oversized styles, length and overall proportions may matter more than the circumference alone.
The best method
Take a similar item from your wardrobe that fits perfectly, measure it flat and compare it with the chart. This usually works better than guessing from the letter size alone.
Stretchy fabric
If the description mentions stretch, treat it as an important clue. The base measurement in the chart is not everything – the fabric may give more when worn.
Measurement tolerance
Garment measurements may vary slightly from those listed. This is normal with manual measurements and different fabric structures.
General SIKSILK size guide
This section will help you choose your SIKSILK size as a starting point. For convenience, we have kept only the most practical information for customers: letter size, centimetres and a helpful EU equivalent.
Tops
Compare the chest measurement first.
| Size | Chest | EU |
|---|---|---|
| XXS | 81 – 86 cm | 44 |
| XS | 86 – 91 cm | 46 |
| S | 91 – 96 cm | 48 |
| M | 96 – 101 cm | 50 |
| L | 101 – 106 cm | 52 |
| XL | 106 – 111 cm | 54 |
| XXL | 111 – 116 cm | 56 |
Bottoms
The waist measurement is the key reference point.
| Size | Waist | EU |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 71 cm | 36 |
| S | 76 cm | 38 |
| M | 81 cm | 40 |
| L | 86 cm | 44 |
| XL | 91 cm | 46 |
| XXL | 96 cm | 48 |
SIKSILK jeans
| Jeans size | Waist |
|---|---|
| 28 (XS) | 71 cm |
| 30 (S) | 76 cm |
| 32 (M) | 81 cm |
| 34 (L) | 86 cm |
| 36 (XL) | 91 cm |
| 38 (XXL) | 96 cm |
Approximate lengths for sample size M
| Garment type | Length |
|---|---|
| T-shirts | 76 cm |
| Sleeveless tops | 80 cm |
| Hoodies | 74 cm |
| Coats | 73 cm |
| Jackets | 73 cm |
| Shirts | 78 cm |
| Joggers | 78 cm |
| Jeans | 70 cm |
Tip: if you are between two sizes, compare the chart with a style you already wear. With SIKSILK, a lot depends on the cut of the specific model: some pieces are more fitted (slim fit), while others are looser (oversize). Look closely at the photos.
How to read OLAVOGA size charts
For OLAVOGA and OLAVOGA Men, there is no single universal size chart for the whole brand. On each product page you will find dedicated measurements for the specific model, often listed separately for the top and bottom, sometimes with information about fabric stretch. For footwear, we provide the inner insole length.
| Example: top of the set | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Size | A. Total length | B. Chest | C. Outer sleeve | D. Inner sleeve |
| S | 39 cm | 80 cm | 61 cm | 50 cm |
| M | 40 cm | 82 cm | 62 cm | 51 cm |
| L | 41 cm | 84 cm | 63 cm | 52 cm |
| Example: bottom of the set | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Size | E. Total length | F. Outer leg | G. Inside leg | H. Rise | I. Waist | J. Hips |
| S | 102 cm | 97 cm | 74 cm | 28 cm | 64 cm | 66 cm |
| M | 103 cm | 98 cm | 75 cm | 29 cm | 66 cm | 68 cm |
| L | 104 cm | 99 cm | 76 cm | 30 cm | 68 cm | 70 cm |
What OLAVOGA size charts mean
Measurements shown for OLAVOGA products apply to the specific model. For sets, the top and bottomare very often listed separately, and for some styles the manufacturer also adds how much the fabric can stretch.
What to check first
For blouses, tops and sweatshirts, compare the chest and total length first. For trousers, leggings and sets, focus on the waist, hips, rise and leg length.
Stretch notes
If you see a note such as “fabric stretches up to 18 cm” or “up to 30 cm”, it means the fabric has extra elasticity. For fitted styles this is one of the most important details, but it also helps you imagine how size M may fit if you usually buy S.
OLAVOGA shoes
For footwear, the most important measurement is the insole length in cm. This is the fastest and safest way to choose a size without guessing from the number on the box, because OLAVOGA footwear sizing can sometimes be unusual and sizes may run smaller or larger.
The most practical rule
Always compare the chart with an item you already own in a similar cut. OLAVOGA styles can vary a lot: from fitted, stretchy pieces to looser sets or footwear with its own sizing, different from other footwear brands.
Most important: for OLAVOGA, the chart on the specific product page is always the key reference. This page is here to help you understand it quickly, not to replace the detailed measurements of a given model.
Frequently asked questions
I am between two sizes. Which one should I choose?
If you want a more fitted look, compare the key measurements with the chart and pay attention to fabric stretch. If you prefer a looser fit, it is usually safer to size up.
Will size S from one brand be the same as size S from another?
No. Letter sizing is only a starting point. Always check the centimetres and the fit description next to the size label.
Can the measurements vary slightly?
Yes. With manual measurements and different fabrics, small differences are normal, so it is best to treat the chart as practical guidance rather than a mathematical verdict.
When is this page most useful?
For SIKSILK, it helps you choose an initial size before opening a product page. For OLAVOGA, it helps you understand how to read the charts and which measurements to check first. If you already own SIKSILK products bought earlier, their size will be your best clue.
