Hey folks! Tacky sweaters knows no gender bounds! The truth is that most of these ugly sweaters were originally designed to be serious sweaters for women. That being said we have measured the bust and the length of all of our sweaters and sized them according to the men’s sizes listed in the table below. Typical women’s sizing is also given to help you with your selection.
Bust Size (Inches) | Length (Inches) | Women’s | Men’s |
Less Than 36″ | Less Than 21″ | Extra Small | Extra Small |
36″-40″ | Over 21″ | Small | Small |
41″-42″ | Over 21″ | Medium | Small |
43″-47″ | Over 22.5″ | Large | Medium |
48″-50″ | Over 24.5″ | Extra Large | Large |
51″-52″ | Over 24.5″ | 2X | Large |
53″ and above | Over 24.5″ | 3X | XL |
If ordering a vest it will be able to fit comfortable one size larger than the stated size. Because the sweaters are second hand, all unique and are made from a variety of manufacturers, the actual tag on the sweater may not match our generalized sizing of the sweater.
When ordering we recommend erring on the side of ordering larger and you can try and shrink them in the dryer or just wear them slightly baggy. Remember, it’s okay if they don’t fit perfectly to a tee because they are ugly and tacky!
