Fit check: Ted Baker
Varies by lineTed Baker's menswear tops run small and slim — owners consistently size up — while women's numbered pieces skew generous, with bottoms the most likely to run big.
Owners agree the menswear shirts and polos cut slim and small: forum posters call the shirts "on the small side and quite a slim waist," and a golf reviewer who normally wears a medium found a Ted Baker large (size 4) "perfect." The women's side is less uniform: one long-term buyer says the numbered sizing is "on the generous side" (a 3 wearing like a UK 12/14), while forum threads split — tops reported small, trousers and skirts reported big, jackets and dresses roughly true to size. The brand's own 0–7 numeric scales add friction, so checking the per-item conversion chart matters more here than with most brands.
Sizing advice: Size up one in men's shirts, polos, and tees (the cut is slim and small); on women's pieces stay true to size for dresses and jackets but consider a size down in trousers, skirts, and knits.

What owners report about Ted Baker chinos
Forum owners are split on value rather than looks: people who have worn Ted Baker trousers liked them, but the recurring verdict is that the brand is "a little overpriced at rrp for what you get" and "probably more fashionable than good value," with the standing advice to buy on sale. In a chino-recommendation thread, members felt Ted Baker's chino offerings read closer to dress trousers than casual chinos, so they suit dressed-up wear more than weekend use. Third-party sizing coverage reports the brand's trousers run large and generous.
- Strengths
- Reports consistently credit the styling — the trousers look sharp and lean formal enough to double as dresswear, which is why owners keep considering them despite the price.
- Watch out for
- The recurring complaint is price-to-substance: owners call the line overpriced at full retail and advise waiting for discounts, and buyers expecting a casual chino may find the cut reads more like a dress trouser.
- Sizing
- Sizing guides report Ted Baker bottoms run large, so most buyers should consider going down a size.
