Fit & Sizing

FIND YOUR FIT

Precision tailored for your unique form

Our Sizing Philosophy

At Aurelia Active Couture, we believe that exceptional performance begins with an impeccable fit. Our sizing is developed in our Milan atelier, guided by decades of Italian sartorial tradition married with cutting-edge athletic research.

Unlike conventional sportswear, each Aurelia silhouette is graded across six sizes with individual pattern adjustments — not merely scaled proportionally. This ensures that whether you wear an XS or an XXL, the garment behaves and flatters in precisely the same manner.

We recommend taking your measurements before ordering and consulting our charts below. If you are between sizes or have specific questions, our personal styling team is always available to assist.

How to Measure

For the most accurate sizing, take measurements directly against your body wearing only underwear. Use a soft fabric tape measure and keep it parallel to the floor.

01

Gather Your Tools

BUST

Use a soft measuring tape. Stand naturally, arms at your sides. Do not hold your breath or pull the tape too tight — it should lie snugly but not compress the body.

02

Take Key Measurements

WAIST HIPS INSEAM

Bust: Around the fullest part of your chest.
Waist: The narrowest point, typically 2–3cm above the navel.
Hips: The fullest point, usually 20cm below the waist.
Inseam: Inner leg from crotch to floor.

03

Compare & Choose

XS S M

Find your measurements in the size chart below. If you fall between two sizes, we recommend sizing up for outerwear and following the larger measurement for leggings and fitted pieces.

Style-Specific Guides

Different garment categories have their own fit nuances. Use these guides for precise selection.

Leggings Fit Guide

Aurelia leggings are offered in two silhouettes:

  • Fitted (Performance Cut) — high compression, sits at natural waist, designed for yoga, Pilates, and studio activities.
  • Relaxed (Movement Cut) — medium compression, slightly roomier through the thigh for running, hiking, and dynamic activities.
  • For fitted styles, follow your waist/hip measurement precisely.
  • For relaxed styles, your regular size is correct — do not size up.
  • High-rise styles extend 8–10cm above the navel.
  • Full length (28") and 7/8 length (25") options are available.

Sports Bra Sizing

Our sports bras are sized by both band and cup where available:

  • Measure around your ribcage, just below the bust, for your band size.
  • Measure around the fullest point of your bust for cup estimation.
  • Light-support bras follow standard clothing sizes (XS–XXL).
  • Medium and high-support styles offer cup sizing (A–E) for enhanced comfort.
  • If your bust and band measurements suggest different sizes, prioritise the band for support.
  • All sports bras have adjustable or removable padding.

Jacket & Outerwear

Aurelia outerwear is designed with layering in mind:

  • Size by your chest/bust measurement for the best fit.
  • If between sizes, size up to allow a mid-layer underneath.
  • Our bomber and track jacket silhouettes are cut true to size.
  • Longline styles may be sized by height — product pages indicate "regular" (fits 160–170cm) and "tall" (fits 171–183cm).
  • Sleeve length is non-adjustable; refer to sleeve length in product specs.
  • All zip and hood adjustments use Italian YKK hardware.

The Italian Approach to Fit

Italian tailoring is founded on a singular conviction: that the body is not merely a surface to dress, but a form to honour. At Aurelia Active Couture, we have carried this conviction from the couture atelier into the performance studio.

Our pattern-making team in Milan works with anatomical precision, developing blocks that account not only for static body measurements, but for the dynamic range of movement demanded by contemporary active life — the extension of a yoga pose, the stride of a morning run, the stillness of a Pilates hold.

The result is a garment that feels custom even from a standard size — because we believe exceptional fit should not be the privilege of the few, but the expectation of every Aurelia client.
