As opposed to wovens, knits allow more leeway with fit. It may be a new direction in sizing for her, which would be a welcome change.Originally posted by fenrost View Postwell, i have seen her woman's tank sized in numbers, i think her 36, equivalent to a males XXS, if i recall.. tho the cut of a tank is quite universal when it comes to gender fitting, so doesn't matter.
but what about the knits, shoulder and body length isnt it usually smaller? but then again, her stuff are usually loose fitted... : \
Obviously not everything will so easily convert from women's to fit the male body, as shoulder width remains the biggest hurdle. Luckily, Ann's overall women's silhouette has always privileged a louche ease over precision fit, so depending on your build, there's often plenty of good stuff from each season that will cross-convert.

Only one size available, which is a size down for me. But I've heard this style runs really big. Hopefully that's true.....Last edited by Faust; 02-22-2010, 06:25 PM.

I was referring to the knit tanks in the current women's Blanche collection, which are sized XS-L. I apologize for not clarifying that. Regarding a women's 36 being equivalent to a men's XXS–yes, it'd be the closest thing, since 36 is Ann's second-smallest female size (smallest is a 34, though retailers as a rule don't order it).
