Unless you’ve been living under a rock the past couple of years, you’ve probably come across PANGAIA. The tracksuit of choice for celebs and influencers alike, it’s hard to scroll down your Instagram feed without spotting some of its signature styles. But PANGAIA is much more than a tracksuit brand. It's a pioneering force in fashion with a mission to make their products as sustainable as possible. From sustainably grown seaweed-fibre tees, to cosy cruelty-free down made from flowers, PANGAIA is changing the industry one garment at a time and showcasing the best materials that nature has to offer.
With PANGAIA gaining more and more traction across the fashion landscape by the day, we thought we would answer the question on many people's lips - "how exactly does the brand fit?". Here at The Sole Supplier, we've decided to tap our loyal product specialists to give you their direct opinions on how the brand fits and what size you should be aiming for! So if you're in the market for some new PANGAIA bits, make sure to read on!
PANGAIA Clothing Review and Size Guide Due to its cosy and relaxed vibes, you can usually expect boxy and oversized fits from PANGAIA. For the most part, PANGAIA styles come in unisex sizing, so whilst they may be true-to-size for men, women may find they come up a little baggier. However, the brands ethos and styling does mean that it allows them to cater to as many people as possible.
If you’ve not bought from the brand before, picking the right size can be a daunting experience. With so many styles and fabrics to choose from, it can be hard to guess exactly how something will fit. For the purposes of this guide, we’ll be concentrating on some of PANGAIA’s best-selling styles, the 365 and 365 signature hoodies, sweatshirts, joggers and t-shirts. The fits depend a little on the style, so we've outlined everything you need to know before we delve a little bit deeper into the review later on.
Hoodies : These arrive with a wide boxy silhouette that is not too long in the body. Due to the width of the garment, we would recommend sizing down from your regular size unless you're planning on wearing the piece with a relaxed fit! Joggers : PANGAIA joggers sport a drawstring waist upper meaning they are somewhat adjustable between sizes. It's best to know your leg length measurement to ensure you're getting the right side and they won't be too long. In addition, all the joggers will sport a relaxed fit through the upper portion of the leg. Sweatshirts : Likely the truest to size piece of the bunch. This piece will fit like your average run of the mill sweatshirt, so you can simply choose your regular size or alternatively size up if you want a baggier fit. T-Shirts : These will also arrive with a true to size construction. If you are looking for some added length in the body though, it may be best to size up. It's also worth noting the T-Shirts are available in both cotton and seaweed fabrics, with the seaweed giving a heavier and more premium feel out of the two. "There is definitely no need to size up if you like the oversized look, I would personally go for your true size to achieve that fit!" - Jess, Digital Marketing Executive
How Do PANGAIA Hoodies Fit? If you’re looking to invest in a cozy PANGAIA hoodie, it’s worth bearing in mind that they fit wide and boxier on the body, so it’s worth considering going down a size if length isn’t an issue for you. Their sweatshirts actually fit a bit smaller though, like a true-to-size, standard sweatshirt, so you could size up for a baggier fit in the sweat.
If you’re not a fan of your hoodies being too oversized, maybe consider sizing down as they do come up very large. However, we think PANGAIA looks best oversized.
Are PANGAIA Hoodies Good Quality? PANGAIA hoodies are great quality, and the 365 collection allows you to choose between two fabrics, which both have their benefits. The 365 hoodie is more medium-weight, and crafted from organic cotton with a loop-back inner, whilst the Signature 365 is PANGAIA’s original iconic offering, and is made from a heavier part-recycled fabric with a super-soft brushed back offering. Both styles are coloured with natural, non-toxic dyes.
How Do You Style PANGAIA Hoodies? PANGAIA hoodies are our ultimate throw-on layer and go with literally anything. Team with the matching joggers for the ultimate cozy ‘fit, pair with some comfy leggings and New Balance for it-girl style, or chuck on with some cargos and Js for comfy and casual vibes.

How Do Pangaia Sweatshirts Fit? PANGAIA 365 sweatshirts fit true to size. If you're a medium in other streetwear brands such as Stüssy or Champion, you should definitely get the same size PANGAIA sweatshirt.
Are PANGAIA Sweatshirts Comfortable? It might not be one of their cashmere pieces, but even so, PANGAIA sweatshirts feel pretty good. They're soft to the touch too which is nice.
How Do You Style PANGAIA Sweatshirts? PANGAIA Sweatshirts work best when going for a classic on-the-move look. Pair the sweatshirt with a pair of baggy light wash jeans and a pair of New Balance 550s on the feet for a proper dad look!
"Unisex sizing fits bigger on women, so if you're a girl after a baggier fit I'd recommend staying true to size, or sizing one down." - Ana, Social Media Executive
How Do PANGAIA T-shirts Fit? The PANGAIA tees come up pretty true to size, albeit a little big baggy, but if you’re long in the body and need extra length it’s worth buying a size up. Remember that if you’re buying unisex sizing there’s no doubt the tee will already fit a little bit looser. PANGAIA women's tees include cropped and fitted versions, so its worth looking into those if you're looking for something more feminine!
PANGAIA have a super easy returns policy, so you have the option to just order in a couple of sizes and see what fits best!
Are PANGAIA T-shirts Good Quality? The tees come in two fabrics – cotton and seaweed. The cotton tees are made from organic cotton, whilst the seaweed fabrics are made from a cotton and Lyocell blend, which has been embedded with seaweed particles. Seaweed grows quickly and abundantly in its natural habitat, and PANGAIA harvests it through a gentle process that allows the plant to regenerate. Using seaweed fibres in their blends allows for a more heavyweight, premium feel, with the added bonus of being super-soft and better at moisture absorption.
How Do You Style PANGAIA Tees? Whether you’re going cropped or full length, PANGAIA tees are the perfect accompaniment for the joggers and sweat sets, and come in all the same colours. If being too matchy-matchy isn’t your thing, don’t panic, as these tees will literally go with everything.
"I love the quality of the materials used in all of my PANGAIA items." - Taylor - Digital Marketing Executive
How Do PANGAIA Track Pants Fit? Most PANGAIA joggers have a drawstring waist, so it’s worth checking the leg length to be sure they’ll fit correctly, as the men’s or oversized styles will always fit a little longer. The overall fit is pretty wide for that perfect oversized and relaxed vibe.
Are PANGAIA Sweatpants Good Quality? Like the matching hoodie, PANGAIA’s 365 trackpants are made from a high-quality, medium-weight 100% organic cotton, which features a loop-back texture inside and a super-soft finishing.
The Signature Recycled version is made from a heavier weight recycled cotton, with a brushed inside for a super-cosy feel.
How Do You Style PANGAIA Trackpants? The PANGAIA 365 track pants are super-wide, so if you’re not planning on pairing them with a matching hoodie, you may want to consider pairing them with a top that'll keep you more in proportion.
