Would someone who's usually not very sensitive to scratchy things be able to wear the Ann D scarf? I've been eyeballing it for quite a while but haven't got around to buying it yet.

NICOLO' CESCHI BERRINI sizing

trying to figure out NICOLO' CESCHI BERRINI's sizing... is it consistant? if so what size should a normally size 46 person take? TIA.

hi! i'm william and this is my first post. i've been getting into men's fashion designers lately which lead me here. hope to learn from you all.

anyways i'd like to ask if there are any designers with an aesthetic that would suit the bigger athletic guy? it seems everything is slim slim slim now. from my very limited experience i fit well in margiela and yohji.

Ann Demeulemeester cuts well for all sizes

In my experience you should take one size up.

Welcome, William. Some suggestions,

Yohji Yamamoto
Issey Miyake
Ann Demeulemeester (not everything, but blazers/jackets/pants/shirts usually Ok - vests are usually slim and so are some blazers)
Peachoo+Krejberg
Margiela

Plenty of designers you can just take one size up and not look like a sausage. These are,

Veronique Branquinho
Dries van Noten
Stephan Schneider
Junya Watanabe/Comme des Garcons

I would say in general stay away from Poell, some Carpe Diem (but not all), and the new crop of the Japanese designers that are frequently discussed here, and you will be fine. Again, a lot of is a matter of experience - the more you try on the better understanding you will get. Good luck and don't hesitate to ask questions.

Oh, and contrary to popular belife, some Rick Owens is fairly loose - like some tees and sweaters, and the jeans are true to size.

Rick Owens is another good one as long as you stick to his sporty stuff.

Agree with Faust, Berrini cuts very slim, in tops at least take one size up, in pants is a little more consistent and truer to size

Great minds think alike, and so do we. I was editing my post when you wrote yours

if there's unisex footwear listed under women's on the barneys site, how does the sizing run? would a "size 8" be a men's 41 or a women's 38?

If it's an athletic type shoe, 8 is probably mens sizing. Anyone have insights?

PS: which shoes were you perusing?

Thanks Faust and gutpocho. 48 should work well for me.

Carpe Diem 6 hool boots

I've been a long time lurker for awhile and thought id sign up. This forum seems more 'forgiving' compared to SUFU.

Anyway, do Carpe Diem's 6 Hole reverse leather boots true to size? I have no way of trying them on due to my current location.

Welcome Diss!

I personally found CDiems to run about 1 size large... I am a US 10 and I take a 42 in CDiems pretty consistently. The more bulbous toebox allows for a range of feet to fit them. If you know you have wider feet then true to size should be fine.

[Fade to Black]

i think it also depends on the model of C Diem...i tried on a higher boot a few years back and i fit into a 45 IIRC...whereas my 6 hole reverse calfs are a 44.
