Default to sizing up in Spanx tops if you want an easy everyday fit.
Choose the slimmer feel
Stay at your usual size only if you want a neater fit and feel comfortable in closer-fitting cuts.
Choose the roomier feel
Go up one size for breathing room, especially when this category uses closer-fitting cuts.
Variability and caveats
Cut
Structured pieces usually feel smaller first, especially through the shoulders, waist, or hip.
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.
