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 t-shirts
Third-party coverage spans the brand's tops broadly rather than tees alone. Forum owners call the construction OK but not amazing and say the fabrics tend to look worn after only a few washes, though one owner's shirt still looked like new after two years of laundering. A repeat t-shirt buyer reported a sharp decline between purchases a year apart, with the newer tees arriving thin to the point of near-transparency and fitting smaller. The recurring verdict is that the brand is more fashionable than good value — worth full price only when the fit is exactly right, otherwise a sale buy.
- Strengths
- Owners consistently praise the styling and slim fit — when the fit lands, they judge the pieces worth the price.
- Watch out for
- Fabric is what fails first: recent tees reported thin and almost transparent, cloth that looks worn after a few washes, and quality that varies between batches — most owners advise buying on sale.
- Sizing
- Forum posters describe the cuts as slim and advise sizing up if between sizes; one repeat t-shirt buyer found newer tees fitting noticeably smaller than the previous year's purchases.
