Sizes at loui.rocks: How do I find the right size?
The correct size can vary depending on the designer, product, cut, and material. Therefore, when choosing a size at loui.rocks, you should always refer to the specific item rather than relying solely on the size you wear in another brand. Details on the respective product page as well as available size information will help you choose the right model.
-
Why do designer sizes vary?
Clothing sizes are not fully standardized across different designers. A size 38, M, or jeans size 28 may therefore fit differently depending on the brand and model. In addition, the cut, desired fit, and material influence the actual fit.
This also means: someone who wears a size M in one designer's collection does not automatically need an M in another brand. The specifications and proportions of the specific product are always the deciding factor. -
Which sizing systems are there?
Designer fashion can use various international sizing systems. Depending on the brand and product, sizes may appear, for example, as XS to XL, European clothing sizes, Italian or French sizes, or inch sizes for denim. Shoes are also offered according to the sizing system used by the respective manufacturer.
A converted size is always for guidance only. Since two designers may use different cuts despite comparable size labels, the size designation should not be considered in isolation.
How do I find the right size for jeans and trousers?
For jeans and trousers, in addition to the stated size, the waistband, rise, hip, leg width, and length are particularly relevant. Denim is often offered in inch sizes, while other trousers may use European or international clothing sizes, for example.
In addition, the intended cut should be taken into account: a wide-leg, barrel, or relaxed trouser intentionally has more volume than a slim version. More width therefore does not automatically mean that a smaller size is needed.
How do I find the right size for tops, knitwear, and jackets?
For shirts, blouses, and knitwear, the shoulder width, chest width, length, and intended silhouette are the most relevant factors. An oversized sweater is deliberately designed to be more generous and should not automatically be chosen in a smaller size just to reduce volume.
For blazers, jackets, and coats, it is also important to consider what will be worn underneath. A coat worn over knitwear or a blazer requires different freedom of movement than a light jacket worn over a shirt.
-
How do I find the right shoe size?
When it comes to shoes, the right size depends on more than just the length of your foot. Lasts, width, toe room, heel hold, construction, and material also influence how a model fits. Therefore, two shoes with the same stated size can fit differently across different designers.
This is particularly relevant for designer footwear. LOUES by loui.rocks carries various shoe shapes and brands whose fit can vary depending on the model. The indicated shoe size should therefore always be considered in conjunction with the information for the specific model. -
What should I do if I am between two sizes?
Whether the larger or smaller size makes more sense cannot be answered with a blanket statement. The deciding factors are the specific model, material, desired fit, and the point at which the sizes differ. For a shoe, for example, width and last can be decisive; for trousers, the waistband and hips; and for a blazer, the shoulders and chest.
If you are unsure, an assessment of the specific product is therefore more helpful than a general rule like "always order one size larger". -
Where can I get help with choosing the right size?
If you are unsure, loui.rocks' personal consultation service can assist you in choosing the right size and style. Especially with varying designer sizes, denim fits, or shoe lasts, a product-specific assessment can be more useful than a general size chart.
Detailed information on the various options for personal assistance is explained separately under Consultation. Information on shopping in-store can be found under Stores, while returns and exchanges are covered in the Returns section.
What is most important regarding designer sizes?
The most important rule is: Do not automatically assume a known size applies to all designers and models. Size, cut, and fit must be considered together. The size specification indicates which product size to choose; the cut describes the shape of the piece, and the fit describes how close-fitting or generous its construction is.
Service & Shopping Knowledge – Sizes thus answers the practical question: Which size should I choose when shopping? General knowledge about fits and the proper fit of clothing is explained separately under Fashion Knowledge – Fit Guides.

Personal styling at loui.rocks
How can I get a consultation?
loui.rocks offers personal style and product consultations for designer fashion and footwear. Consultations can take place in our store in Essen-Bredeney, or via phone or WhatsApp. It is not just about choosing a single product: our team provides support with questions regarding style, outfits, occasions, sizing, fit, and styling combinations.
What kind of style advice does loui.rocks offer?
Our personal style advice is tailored to your individual style, the occasion, and your existing wardrobe. Our style experts can select suitable pieces, put together combinations, and provide outfit recommendations.
The approach at loui.rocks is intentionally personal: instead of dictating a uniform look, our curated designer selection aims to help you find pieces that fit you and your wardrobe perfectly. Personal consultation has therefore been a core part of the loui.rocks concept since our founding.
Does loui.rocks offer personal shopping?
Yes. Personal shopping is one of the services offered by loui.rocks. This allows the selection to be specifically tailored to personal requirements – for example, to specific garments, a particular occasion, a desired style, or matching additions to your existing wardrobe.
Especially with an assortment from various international designers, personal consultation helps you avoid looking only for individual brands and instead allows you to put together matching pieces across different collections.
Can I get advice on size and fit?
Yes. loui.rocks provides support with questions regarding the size and fit of a specific product. This is particularly relevant because sizes, cuts, and fits can vary between different designer brands and models.
For clothing, factors such as the cut, material, and desired fit can be taken into account. General guidelines for selecting a size are explained separately under Sizes; the consultation helps with the individual assessment of a specific piece.
Is there shoe consultation available at LOUES?
Yes. At LOUES by loui.rocks, finding the individual fit of a shoe is part of the consultation. In addition to the stated EU size, lasts, width, toe room, and heel grip can be taken into account, as the same shoe size can fit differently depending on the brand and model.
In the LOUES store in Essen-Bredeney, you can try on different models directly and compare them with each other. The consultation thus combines design and styling with the question of which shoe actually fits your foot.
Collapsible content
Can I get advice on an outfit or an occasion?
Yes. The style experts at loui.rocks provide personal outfit recommendations tailored to your style and the occasion. Whether starting with individual pieces you already own or want to incorporate, or looking for a complete look, we are here to help.
General styling questions are answered in the Style & Styling section. Personal consultations go a step further by applying these principles to create a selection curated specifically for an individual customer.
Can I get in-person advice at the store?
Yes. Personal consultation is available both at the loui.rocks flagship store and at LOUES in Essen-Bredeney. The flagship store focuses on designer fashion and styling, while LOUES expands the consultation services to include the specialized area of designer footwear.
For an in-depth personal style consultation, loui.rocks also offers the option of scheduling an appointment. Information on both locations is summarized separately under Stores.
Can I get a consultation by phone or via WhatsApp?
Yes. Consultations are also possible without visiting the store. The loui.rocks team can be reached by phone at +49 201 843 237 22 and via WhatsApp at +49 176 42768495.
For both methods of contact, loui.rocks is currently available from Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. This allows questions regarding products, sizes, fits, or selections to be clarified directly with the team before placing an online order.
What distinguishes personal styling advice from general fashion knowledge?
Fashion knowledge and style & styling provide general guidance, while personal consultation addresses the specific individual and the specific product. A guide might explain, for example, how a barrel cut is constructed or how a blazer can be combined. Consultation, on the other hand, can assess which specific model, size, or combination makes sense for the respective request.
This is precisely the consulting approach of loui.rocks: to combine curated designer fashion with personal support, instead of leaving customers alone with their product selection.
