Varies by line

Ted 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 shorts

Almost no third-party coverage addresses Ted Baker's shorts specifically; what owners report is about the clothing range as a whole. Longtime buyers describe "beautifully made, quality clothes," but reviewers of the relaunched, online-only operation report "the same fairly high prices, but the quality is *vastly* lower." Recent owner complaints cluster around items arriving in poor condition and slow customer-service responses rather than any single garment type failing.

Strengths: Long-standing customers still report well-made clothing when orders arrive as described.
Watch out for: Post-relaunch reviewers report quality below the brand's old standard at unchanged prices, alongside recurring fulfillment problems — items arriving in poor condition and unresponsive customer service.
