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 tops

Forum reviewers describe Ted Baker tops as strong on cut but middling on cloth: the slim fit, shoulder seams and collar shape on the shirts draw consistent praise, while several owners report fabrics that look worn after only a few washes. The recurring verdict on the quality-for-price question is that the brand is more fashionable than good value at full price. Recent customer reviews add complaints that t-shirt quality and sizing have slipped, with tees described as thin to the point of transparency, while longtime buyers say their older Ted Baker shirts were noticeably better made than current ones.

Strengths: Cut and detailing — reviewers repeatedly single out the slim fit, spot-on shoulder seams and the shape of the shirt collars.
Watch out for: Fabric is what fails first: owners report shirts looking worn after a few washes, and recent buyers describe thin, near-transparent tees and inconsistent quality versus older purchases.
Sizing: Sizing runs slim and can differ between products, so owners advise checking each garment's measurements rather than assuming one consistent size.
