Do hollister jeans run big or small? I used to think they ran small because when I was a US 8/9 in regular stores I was around a size 12 in there. That was a couple if years ago and now I'm thinking they have started making them bigger.. Thanks!p

    They run small, my size jeans, I wear like 2 numbers below what I really am there. I hate Hollister though, it's over-rated and it stinks in there.

    I refuse to shop there A) on principle, and B) because I'm fat and they wouldn't want me to anyway. So at least it's mutual :)

    Haha I get frustrated because it's so hard to see even to pick sizes and it's really loud (I sound so old for a 23 year old! Lol but it's true) I love their clothes though and am having a hard time finding clothes that fit well.

    Last time I bought a pair of their jeans was in 2005, it could have changed since then. It is loud in there, and it's very dark, I can't stand it. I always feel like I'm going to suffocate in there. American Eagle is MUCH better and their pants make the heiny look MUCH better :)

    I always shopped at American eagle and love their clothing but they definitely run big and they don't have it in the UK :sad:

    Me three!

    Seriously though, back to the OP-Yes, they do run small. I used to work clothing retail and each year, the sizes would go down half an inch. So if say in 2002 you wore a size 7, in 2003 you'd be in a size 9 ect.

    I wouldn't know... they're so retardedly priced and I don't see the big deal about buying a shirt with a stores brand printed all across it. Yay, I'm spending a BUNCH of money on a cheaply made shirt, AND I'm walking FREE advertisement for you... I think it's to pay for all their decorations...

    I live near their "only store in Germany" but I've never been in there. The whole concept seems silly to me. My friend went in there a couple weeks ago, though. She's about my size and while she was just looking at clothes, a clerk came up to her and was all like "We don't have XL!" in this really rude tone. Uh...thanks?! My friend was with another friend who's gay and he enjoyed all the topless guys a lot, though. :laugh:

    Yea I don't buy the shirts. I just have one pair of jeans from there that I got last October. I'm having trouble finding stores that sell clothing that fits me over here in the UK

    That's understandable then. I just don't really shop or like any stores like that. haha. But for a small frame I guess you would have as many issues as a larger person shopping. Not everyone thinks that! But yes, I have heard the store runs very small as they are aimed for a tiny girl type.
