    Variability and caveats

    When Express can feel different from the usual sizing tendency

    Cut

    Cut matters most when a piece is intentionally tailored or intentionally oversized.

    Fabric stretch

    Fabric stretch changes how strongly the sizing tendency shows up: more give softens it, less give makes it more obvious.

    Styling

    Styling details like intended silhouette, layering room, and line-specific fit can shift how the brand’s usual sizing direction feels.
