FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Size & Fit

How do SHAO New York sizes run?

SHAO New York uses a genderless numerical sizing system, ranging from 0-50. Our pieces are designed with an elevated streetwear aesthetic, which means some items are intentionally oversized while others have a more tailored fit. Each product description specifies whether the piece runs true to size, oversized, or slim fit.

What if I'm between sizes?

For oversized styles: Size down for a more fitted look, stay true to size for the intended streetwear silhouette For fitted styles: Size up if you're between sizes For denim: Stay true to size - our denim will shape to your body with wear
