Maje Sizing: Does Maje Run Small, Big or True to Size?

Start with your usual size in Maje, then let the individual cut overrule the letter on the tag. The Maje size chart maps FR/EU 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42 to US 0 to 4 and XS to XL, with corresponding UK, German and Italian sizes. It is a correspondence table rather than a body-measurement chart, and it does not list inseams or petite or tall options. Maje’s FAQ says to select your usual size and contact customer service if you sit between two sizes. That is a baseline, not a promise that every jacket, knit and dress fits alike. I would read the style-specific notes before buying, especially for the longer or structured pieces here. Nordstrom adds one useful retailer fit note on the Long Wool Blend Coat: it runs large, with advice to choose the next size down. Other Nordstrom pages call the dresses and select knits true to size. For an exact query like maje size chart, the short version is that the brand offers a conversion ladder, but you still need to read the cut.

The dresses show why a conversion table cannot describe fit by itself. Maje’s 2-in-1 Tweed Dress page shows a model wearing FR 36, as does its Short Knit Dress With Buttons page; both show a broad XS-to-XL size range. Nordstrom’s Short Tailored Dress With Lace is described as true to size, with a wool-blend body, spaghetti straps and a lace hem. The Short Flared Cotton Dress is also labeled true to size, with a smocked waist, tie-up straps and a gathered skirt. That makes the cotton style the easiest starting point if you want a softer waist, while the tailored dress has less give through its structured bodice. Before ordering, compare the bust and waist on a dress you already own with the product measurements and the model size. If you are between sizes, Maje’s stated advice is to contact customer service rather than assume that every silhouette needs the same adjustment.

The jackets span fitted tailoring, a boxy tweed layer and a coat that runs large. Maje’s Long Tailored Jacket is a fitted waistcoat with princess seams, a square neckline and four gold buttons; the model wears FR 36. Its Double-Breasted Suit Jacket is structured and explicitly described as true to size, with the model also in FR 36. Nordstrom’s Short-Sleeved Tweed Jacket has a boxy shape, but the product notes still call it true to size. The Long Wool Blend Coat is the exception: Nordstrom says it runs large and advises choosing the next size down, and only sizes 8 and 10 were available when checked. That is useful evidence for this coat, not a brand-wide rule. For a blazer, start with Maje’s usual-size advice and compare the shoulder and bust with a jacket you own; for the coat, consider the retailer’s size-down note and the layers you plan to wear under it.

Knitwear is where the product page fit notes and the texture details need to be read together. Maje’s Amour Round-Neck Rib Knit Cardigan is a fitted wool style described as true to size, while the Rhinestone Cardigan has a short fitted shape, navy rib knit and a close pattern of embellishment. Nordstrom’s Removable Jewel Collar Sweater is a cropped, fitted alpaca blend with a pearl-and-rhinestone collar, and the Removable Striped Collar Cardigan is a cropped wool blend with a straight cut. Both Nordstrom pages label their sweaters true to size. The live size ranges were not the same: the Amour cardigan showed XS, M and L, while the striped-collar style showed M and L. I would use the official usual-size guidance for the fitted knits, then check the exact sizes still offered before deciding. For a first Maje knit, the Amour cardigan is the simpler fit reference; the embellished pieces ask you to want the detail as much as the warmth.
