Does Fear of God Essentials run large or true to size?

Short answer: Fear of God Essentials runs large.
The oversized fit is intentionally designed and applies to:

Essentials hoodies
Essentials trousers
Complete Essentials sets

This means that your normal size will often be too loose, especially if you're not looking for an extra oversized look.

General sizing advice for Fear of God Essentials

For most people, the following advice applies:

➡️ Take 1 size smaller than your usual size.

This ensures that:

The oversized look is maintained
The hoodie doesn't look too wide or too short
The trousers fall better in proportion
The Essentials outfit as a whole looks sleeker

This sizing advice is applicable to all Essentials collections, including FW, SS, and NBA.

Practical fit example (reference)

To make the sizing advice concrete:

Height: 186 cm
Weight: 75 kg
Size worn: M

This model typically wears size L in other brands. For Fear of God Essentials, size M provides a comfortable oversized fit without the outfit being too big. This example is often used as a guideline when choosing the right size.

Which size Essentials hoodie should I choose?

The Essentials hoodie has a boxy and oversized fit with:

Wide shoulders
Generous chest
Shorter length

Hoodie size advice:

Normal fit → 1 size smaller
Oversized look → normal size
Extra baggy → 1 size larger (intentional style choice)

Which size Essentials trousers should I choose?

The Essentials trousers are relaxed at the hips and thighs and taper slightly towards the ankles.

Trouser size advice:

Best balance → 1 size smaller
Baggy look → normal size

When you combine the trousers with a hoodie in the same size, it creates a well-balanced Essentials set.

Which size for a complete Essentials outfit?

For a complete Fear of God Essentials outfit (hoodie + trousers), it's important that both items fit together well.

Recommended choice:

Hoodie: 1 size smaller
Trousers: 1 size smaller

This way, the silhouette remains:

Oversized
Comfortable
In proportion

When NOT to choose 1 size smaller?

Although the general advice is clear, there are situations where you can deviate:

Choose your normal size if:

You intentionally want an extra oversized look
You have a broader build (shoulders / chest)
You like a very loose hoodie

If you're in doubt between two sizes? Then the smaller size is usually the safest choice.

Essentials sizing advice vs other brands

Many people compare Essentials to regular streetwear hoodies. The main difference lies in the fit:

Essentials: oversized by design
Other brands: often regular fit
Essentials: shorter hoodie, wider width
Other hoodies: longer, narrower

Therefore, the sizing advice for other brands does not apply directly to Fear of God Essentials.
