NZ Charly uses an inclusive two-size approach designed to fit a wide range of bodies, heights, and shapes. Our S/M and M/L sizing fits New Zealand sizes 6 through to 18, tested across heights ranging from 152cm to 192cm. If you are unsure of your size or need personalised guidance, we are always happy to help directly.
Sizing That Works for Real People
One thing that has always bothered us about shopping for clothes is sizing. That feeling of being steered toward a particular section of a store. The frustration of the same size fitting completely differently from one brand to the next. Having to remember which number works where. And the strange way a number on a tag can feel like a verdict rather than just a measurement.
We believe bodies are beautifully different, and we wanted our sizing to reflect that. So we have done things differently.
Rather than a traditional size run, NZ Charly uses a small, intentional size range built around a fits-most philosophy. Each size has been tested on a wide variety of people across different heights, proportions, and shapes to make sure it genuinely delivers on that promise.
Tested across a range of heights and proportions within this size range.
Select styles such as the Sports Stripe Jumper extend to size 18. Check the individual product details for confirmation.
Designed to work across a wide range of bodies. Noted on individual product pages where applicable.
Our sizing has been wear-tested across heights ranging from 152cm to 192cm. Please keep in mind that the hem of a garment will sit differently on you than on the model depending on your height and proportions. If you have any questions about how a specific piece will fit you, just reach out and we will talk you through it.
Same Style, Different Fibre
If you are ordering the same style in a different colour or fibre composition, the feel and drape may vary slightly. Different fibres and yarn weights wear differently, and that is part of what makes each piece its own thing. Our possum merino blends have a different hand-feel to our cotton-linen pieces, and our cashmere-silk blend drapes differently to our performance merino. These are features, not inconsistencies.
We recommend checking the individual product page for fibre details before ordering, and if you are ever unsure, please just ask. We know our garments well and we are always happy to help you find the right one.
Still not sure? We can custom make to your measurements.
Just get in touch and we will find the right fit for you.
