Tank Top Fit Library

Finding your size

Our knitted tank tops are designed for a relaxed gender-neutral fit with approximately 7-13 cm / 3"-5" ease around the Chest.

Here's what measurements you're going to need to get the best fit (you may need some help from a friend to take these):

A. Shoulder (optional, but useful if you're between sizes)

Measure from bone to bone across the back of your shoulders, keeping the tape flat and straight.

B. Chest

Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor, breathing normally and with your ams down. This is your main measurement.

C. High Hip

Measure around the fullest part of your abdomen, usually between your tummy button and the top of your hip bones.

If you carry weight here or have a rounded midsection, this number matters as much as your Chest as the tank needs to fit over it comfortably. If this measurement is larger than your Chest, use it as your primary measurement instead.

Length

Measure a tank top or jumper in your wardrobe that you like the length of - from the top of the neck band to the bottom of the hem.

Tank top size guide

As all our garments are gender neutral, we use our own size system to help you find the best fit.

A little bit of sizing guidance

  • Prefer an oversized fit?

    The size chart is based on a relaxed fit. If you prefer and an oversized fit then size up one size - there's no wrong answer, it's your garment.

  • Broad shoulders?

    If you're in between sizes and your shoulder measurement is wider than the garment shoulder for your chest-based size, consider sizing up.

    For example, if your Chest measurement puts you at the top of size 4 (garment shoulders: 42 cm / 16½") but your Shoulder measure 44 cm / 17¼" or more, size 5 will sit more comfortably across the back.

  • High Hip measurement wider than your Chest?

    If your High Hip measurement is noticeably larger than your Chest measurement (5 cm / 2" or more), then choose the garment size based on your High Hip - it needs to sit comfortably.

    The relaxed cut means a size chosen for your High Hip will still look great across the Chest.

Dreamy

My scarf, orange and light gray is soft and cozy. I would like all my sheets, clothes and towels made by Woolkind I would name you Cozy Cocoon! But the name Woolkind is perfect because I met Lawrence at the Christmas Market in Edinburgh, in December 2025 and he was very kind. I like when the product and the name align.

Fabulous neckerchief!

I bought one of Lawrence's neckerchiefs at the West End Fair in December as a "just in case" Christmas gift for my husband, and ended up using it myself long before Christmas! The neckerchief is lightweight, soft and warm, it blocks chilly drafts, and is also very on-trend! Would highly recommend as a gift!
