In short
Where the number just works. At 50, 56, 62, 68, 74, 80 and more, Arket lines up with every brand we track — the size carries straight over.
Bottom line: for most sizes, a Arket number is a safe bet elsewhere — measure once, then double-check only the handful of “stranger” brands above.

What shoppers say about the fit
Community consensus
Shopper opinion · not Little & Youth’s measurementThis is what parents report anecdotally — crowd sentiment, not a Little & Youth determination. Our sizing above is computed from Arket’s own published chart; the notes here come from public parent discussion.
There is too little shopper feedback on Arket’s kids’ line to say whether it runs small or large — parent reviews of the children’s range are close to nonexistent online, and the brand’s own site carries no reviews. What can be said: Arket labels its children’s sizes by the child’s height in centimetres, so measuring height (and chest for tops) and matching it to the chart is the most reliable way to choose, with no conversion from age-based labels to second-guess. Arket’s own fit descriptions, as listed on Zalando, are mostly a regular cut, with a minority of loose, relaxed or skinny pieces, so read the fit line on each item. On quality, the few voices that exist agree: one verified shopper calls Arket’s kids’ clothes some of the most durable she has bought, and Grazia’s editor calls the cotton basics soft and thick and says they wash brilliantly. That fits the brand’s stated intent that its children’s garments are made to be handed down when outgrown. It sits at the premium end of high-street pricing.
Based on anecdotal discussion from multiple publicly available online sources; your experience may differ.
Should you buy Arket?
Consider it if…
- You like sizing by height — Arket’s children’s sizes are labelled by the child’s height in centimetres, so a quick measurement maps straight onto a size.
- You want durable, hand-me-down basics — the little feedback there is praises durability, and Arket says its kids’ garments are designed to be handed down when outgrown.
- You want soft, substantial cotton in plain neutrals — Grazia’s editor singles out the thick cotton basics, how well they wash, and the neutral colours that are hard to find elsewhere in kidswear.
Think twice if…
- You want fit reports from other parents before buying — there are almost none for the kids’ line, and the brand site has no reviews, so you’re relying on the chart and the item’s fit description.
- You’re in the US and want easy domestic returns — there’s no US storefront; orders ship from Arket’s worldwide site, and its Trustpilot page (1.4/5) is dominated by delivery and refund complaints.
- You’re buying kids’ shoes — no shopper fit feedback surfaced for them; Arket sizes shoes by foot length, so measure heel to longest toe and check the chart.

Does Arket kids’ clothing run big or small?
There isn’t enough parent feedback to say. Most pieces are described as a regular fit, so go by your child’s measured height and chest against Arket’s chart, and check each item’s fit line for the occasional loose, relaxed or skinny cut.
How do Arket kids’ sizes work?
The size number is the child’s height in centimetres, from baby through teen sizes. Measure height from the top of the head to the floor; for tops, check chest too. For older children, some measurements on Arket’s chart are given as a pair of values, so read the chart closely.
Is Arket kids’ clothing good quality?
The few first-hand voices say yes — durable, thick cotton that washes well — and Arket designs the range to be handed down. It’s premium high-street pricing, and the sample is very small.
How do Arket kids’ shoes fit?
No shopper fit feedback surfaced. Arket sizes children’s shoes by foot length, so measure the foot standing, heel against a wall, to the tip of the longest toe, and match it to the chart.
What measurements do I need to size Arket accurately?
Arket publishes height, chest, waist, hip, inseam in its size chart. Height is the primary driver, and the chest/waist figures let you confirm body fit for a child between sizes.
Where do I buy Arket?
Arket is sold on its own site and through select retailers.
