Anine Bing Review & Size Guide: How Does Anine Bing Fit?

If you’ve spent any time on Instagram over the past couple of months, you’ve probably come across the brand Anine Bing. Hailing from sunny Los Angeles, Anine Bing has carved out quite the loyal following thanks to its laid-back vibe and blend of Scandinavian and California styles. The brand is known for its casual but edgy aesthetic - think athleisure vibes in line with the likes of Sporty & Rich and Adanola, but with a slightly elevated touch. This means that a lot of key Anine Bing styles are likely to be considered more investment pieces, as well as wardrobe staples like crewneck sweatshirts, graphic tees and leggings that’ll see you through everyday wear. Thanks to their super-luxe take on these pieces, Anine Bing’s collections have been seen on just about everyone, from influencers like @amyfuschia and @hannahwhiting, to supermodels like Iryna Shayk.

Started by Anine and Nicolai Bing 2012, Anine Bing is actually a namesake brand and is pronounced A-NEEN-a. Anine’s foray into fashion has been quite an interesting ride. The designer started modelling at age 15, and relocated from Denmark to California where she became a singer in the band Kill Your Darlings. The blend of fashion and music naturally influenced her decision to start her clothing line, which Anine describes as a ‘fusion of Scandinavian heritage and American spirit. The brand’s initial collections reflected the rockstar aesthetic, but the brand’s main focus now seems to be much more clean and contemporary, with blazers, tops and denim all taking centre stage.

Anine Bing clothing is available to buy in over 350 stores worldwide, including the likes of Selfridges and Net-a-Porter, as well as ShopBop and Revolve. They also have a number of their own stores, with locations in London, Paris, and Berlin, as well as a couple of stores in the US.

So, now you know a little more about the Anine Bing brand, you might be wondering exactly how Anine Bing fits, and whether the clothes are of high quality. Luckily, we’ve packed this all into our Anine Bing review, so read on to find out more!

Fit: Take your regular size in Anine Bing. The clothing is pretty true-to-size, but the standard fit is quite relaxed. If you prefer a slimmer fit, then be sure to size down.

Style: Anine Bing is known for their elevated basics, but its graphic tees are the stuff of legend. Recently, the brand has been exploring more of an elevated athleisure vibe with the launch of its Anine Bing sport line, which sits alongside its more tailored silhouettes.

Comfort: Anine Bing clothing is super-comfortable, as the brand always uses high-quality materials. Tees are always made from 100% cotton, and their sweatshirts use super soft organic cotton for just the right amount of comfort and warmth.

Price: Anine Bing is fairly pricey, with t-shirts retailing for around £90 and sweatshirts and hoodies costing £150. The Anine Bing sport range is slightly cheaper - these sweatshirts retail for £130, so this sits at around the same price point as Cole Buxton and Represent.

If you’re wondering how Anine Bing sweatshirts and hoodies fit, it really couldn’t be easier. Most Anine Bing sweatshirts have been designed with an oversized fit in mind, so there’s no need to size up - your regular size is fine. If you prefer a more fitted look, then we’d recommend sizing down.

The brand’s bestselling sweaters are the Jaci sweatshirt and the Ramona sweatshirt. The Jaci fits slightly wider through the sleeves and body for a more boxy fit, and the Ramona features a relaxed fit and dropped sleeves, making it a perfect casual layer, without being too big.

We promise you, once you’ve tried an Anine Bing sweatshirt, you won’t go back! Made from fleecy organic cotton, Anine Bing sweatshirts and hoodies are super-soft, and the relaxed fit makes them seriously comfortable too!

Anine Bing sweatshirts are more expensive than other brands, but if, like us, you’re always on the hunt for the perfect fitting jumper they are definitely worth the investment.

Although Anine Bing t-shirts come in a number of different styles, you don’t need to size up or down in them - your true size should provide you with the perfect relaxed fit. Anine Bing tees really lean on the brand’s rock and roll influence, so their graphic tees are meant to be a little baggy - almost as if you stole your boyfriend's favorite tee!

Anine Bing t-shirts come crafted from 100% cotton, so the quality is pretty good. Some of their styles, including their bestselling Tiger tee, are meant to look slightly worn in line with their retro aesthetic, so it’s worth noting that there may be some differences between each t-shirt.

In our opinion, Anine Bing’s graphic tees are already pretty iconic, so it’s best to let them do the talking. Our favourite way to style them is to channel vintage band tee vibes with a pair of cycle shorts in the summer, or leather trousers and some Jordan 1s during more transitional weather.

Anine Bing jeans come in a number of fits and styles, but we’d still recommend taking your regular size in them. As with all denim, you want it to be a little tight on first wear, as it generally tends to stretch out quite quickly as it wears in.

If you’re on the petite side, you may find Anine Bing jeans to be a little longer than most. Their cropped jeans feature a 28” leg, but full-length styles including their classic straight-leg Kat jeans come in at 33 inches.

Anine Bing jeans are great, but they’re definitely on the expensive side. If you’re looking for denim that will last but won’t break the bank, consider looking into a pair of Weekday jeans or Levi’s - both brands also offer shorter leg lengths for more petite customers too.

Anine Bing jackets and blazers are meant to be oversized, so expect the cuts to reflect this. Nevertheless, as with all Anine Bing styles, take your regular size for the perfect relaxed vibe. Their denim jacket styles are designed to be oversized and boxy, so again - if fitted styles are more your thing then be sure to size down slightly.

Anine Bing blazers and jackets are very good quality and are usually made of 100% wool or a high-quality blend. This does make them expensive, but if you’re on the lookout for an investment piece they are a great option as the styles are timeless and will last for years.

Throw a classic Anine Bing blazer over a full athleisure fit and some New Balance 550s, or style a denim jacket with some joggers or cycle shorts for a more laid-back look.

If classic styles with a little edge are your kind of thing, then Anine Bing is definitely a brand to have on your radar. Sure, it’s a bit pricier than most, but all of these wardrobe staples will see you through years and years to come. if you’re ready to start building out your Anine Bing wardrobe, then just remember to stick to your regular size and you should be good to go!
