I take S in Signature, M in Brett, S or XS in Daddy, and now they've started putting out Slim Signature and from what I can tell, I'd take M. Whew!! </p> <p>Then if you get into their cashmere, I take M in Sloane solid color, S in Sloan print, S or XS in Asher, and so it goes . . .</p> <p>Yes, always need to try on. (And that doesn't even take into account that not all Ms are created equal, etc.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-854821 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:53:33 +0000 cciele 854821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura -- I'm about your height, 5'3", but I don't generally wear petite clothing. I've tried the Nexx silk shirts but have a problem with them pulling at the chest when the shoulders fit. I'm thinking the only way I can wear most buttondowns is with an oversized fit.</p> <p>Zap -- Goes to show, one always needs to try on different sizes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-854762 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:10:54 +0000 Anonymous 854762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, that's weird. Well, the Brett ( Dot daddy) was huge and I had to size down to XS. All of my Signatures ( I have 3) are a size small. Perhaps that particular Brett was huge. SMH. I am typically a size S on tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-854732 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 19:53:38 +0000 Laura 854732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure either fit is ideal. Are you petite, Cathy? Because I had a problem with Equipment's fit as a petite, so I went with Nexx, and the S fit perfectly. Just a thought! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-854594 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:36:59 +0000 catgirl 854594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get an S in Brett, XS in Signature. It is rare for me to be an XS on top, but I wore one of mine the other day and there is still a slight shoulder drop even with my IT shoulders! I have noticed some variation in XS by color too. Honestly, both of these look good on you so I think it's just a question of what look you want! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-854585 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:28:25 +0000 cciele 854585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, interesting about the fit of the two types of shirt, Zap! For some reason I think someone (Una?) said she did the opposite -- sized down on the Signature and up with the Brett. Or perhaps I am remembering.</p> <p>Anyhow, M would be my normal shirt size -- the S does gape/pull a bit in the chest area. I have a hard time finding buttondown shirts that fit well in that area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-854299 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 10:44:58 +0000 Anonymous 854299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say, buy your normal size, the shirt is already cut oversized. I think they both look great, I would just make sure that the buttons on the S do not gape when you move your arms around. </p> <p>I actually size down on the Brett fit and buy TTS on the signature ( pockets)</p> <p>I would go for the S in the blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-854284 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 07:15:47 +0000 cciele 854284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Tina! Good to get feedback from another Equipment shirt owner I really like the blue too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-853806 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:53:29 +0000 Tina.b 853806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really do love the blue one on you, beautiful colour. I usually size down in the signature fit, but I really like the oversized look as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-853804 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:49:43 +0000 cciele 853804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mnsara - that's brilliant! I hadn't thought about getting the shirt shortened... Thanks for the tip </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-852095 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 02:24:01 +0000 MNsara 852095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might slightly prefer the fit of the S, but only because this forces me to look v.e.r.y closely and decide.</p> <p>Another option, is I had one of my Equipment blouses shortened! They followed the original contours but took off 2 inches (if I remember right). This particular blouse I wanted to wear under sweaters with tails hanging out and the tails were just too long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-852089 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 02:15:48 +0000 cciele 852089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great feedback everyone! seems like fit is definitely a personal preference. I'm leaning toward the blue (love the color) and the oversize fit. Wish it were a bit shorter/less fabric for tucking though. Too bad they don't come in petite sizes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-851769 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 17:33:40 +0000 kellygirl 851769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the medium. It seems to drape better. The difference is very subtle but I can see it from the back and around the armholes/pocket area. I also prefer the blue on you but prolly because I'm partial to it anyway. Great blouse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-851684 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 16:30:57 +0000 Janet 851684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just wanted to add that Raisin makes a good point -- I wore my black Signature shirt yesterday and tucked it into jeans, and it's already a good amount of fabric to tuck. In theory, I could have worn this shirt in a medium, but I'm glad I went for the small. </p> <p>If you don't intend to tuck, feel free to ignore me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-851680 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 16:29:46 +0000 Ariadne 851680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a slight preference for the length and slouch of the cobalt--and a strong preference for the colour! This will be a great piece for you and your style, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-851676 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 16:20:49 +0000 Carole 851676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really couldn't tell a difference between the two sizes maybe if the colors had been the same it would have been easier to tell the differences, but I much prefer the lovely cobalt blue color. Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-851669 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 16:08:22 +0000 Scarlet 851669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The S looks plenty big enough, but for some reason I am leaning toward M. What does your gut say? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-851610 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 14:18:31 +0000 Anonymous 851610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit of the S on the shoulders and overall except I do like the M where it drapes over your tush. Have you thought about try the M in petite? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-851609 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 14:17:17 +0000 Mochi 851609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say also that the small seems a better fit, but it's really a smidgen of difference. I own an Equipment shirt and I'm swimming in it (no petite sizes, unfortunately). I think either loose or more form-fitting can both work to different intentions. I like the color of the blue one more, of course </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-851605 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 14:14:28 +0000 Suz 851605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous colours! </p> <p>I am really unsure about the size. It has a bit of a dropped shoulder, correct? </p> <p>I actually LIKE oversize (a lot) but have a higher tolerance for it when it is structured a bit, and a drapey shirt loses that structure. So the length of the blue would bother me (for me) -- but again, I have a poison eye for myself in tunic lengths for some reason. </p> <p>Hmmm. I hope some Equipment shirt wearers will weigh in. All I know is I want you to keep at least one of these beauties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-851584 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 13:44:37 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 851584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the drape of the M but the length of the S. I don't think there is enough of a difference in fit to make either the clear winner so would go with whichever feels best to you.</p> <p>Both are lovely colors on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-851579 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 13:37:58 +0000 Nicole D 851579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the M fits better. I actually thought the pink one was bigger before I looked at the sizes....so I think it must be the drape like Adelfa said. I love my Equipment blouses! I have a signature in a washed navy that just goes with everything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-851553 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 12:34:16 +0000 Janet 851553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they both work, but I have a preference for the small. The medium seems just a touch long on you. But I have a lower threshhold for oversize than many people here, so I expect I'll be in the minority. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-851549 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 12:16:52 +0000 Raisin 851549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you prefer to tuck these shirts in a lot, then I'd go with S, since tucking that much material is a pain. If you leave it untucked mostly, the length of the M is nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-851488 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 06:37:36 +0000 CocoLion 851488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They don't look that dramatically different to me. I prefer the blue shirt, but I don't know if it's the color or fit or both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-851484 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 06:30:50 +0000 Adelfa 851484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a *slight* preference for the drape of the M. I wouldn't be against getting the S, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-equipment-shirt#post-851482 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 06:29:12 +0000 cciele 851482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So here are two sizes of the Equipment Signature shirt I tried. The blue is M and the fuschia is S. I'd love to get your feedback on which fits better. Or maybe neither of them? Apologies for messy hair/no make-up look -- it's been a long day.</p> <p>FYI, I would wear it with the sleeves rolled up.</p> <p>Thanks for your help! </p>
