Ellesse brings Italian retro-sportswear style — but it's cut on the fitted side, so sizing matters. This guide covers Ellesse's fit, a full chest-measurement size chart, and how to choose.
How does Ellesse fit?
Ellesse is true to size but cut fitted — closer through the shoulders and chest, with a retro, athletic shape rather than an oversized one. For that classic fitted look, order your usual size. If you prefer a relaxed fit, or want to layer (especially under the heritage track tops), size up.
Ellesse size chart
Approximate to-fit chest measurements for Ellesse tops:

Measurements are approximate to-fit chest sizes and can vary across styles. Always check the size guide on each product page for that item's exact measurements.
How to measure your chest
Wrap a tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades. Keep it level and snug — not tight — then match the result to the chart above.
