In short

Where labels drift. The exceptions are the “strangers” above — e.g. at size 8, Il Gufo, Bonpoint, U.S. Polo Assn. cut the same number differently. Check those before you trust the label.

Bottom line: for most sizes, a Fabletics number is a safe bet elsewhere — measure once, then double-check only the handful of “stranger” brands above.

Fit & the transitions that trip parents up

Fabletics-specific things the size number alone won’t tell you — drawn from its own charts.

Runs true to size

Order your child's usual size; the joggers are the one piece a few parents found snug.

A new, small unisex line

A unisex Go-To hoodie, crew and jogger range in 2T through 18 — recent and limited, so shopper feedback is still thin.

Specialty & inclusive fits

What shoppers say about the fit

Community consensus

Shopper opinion · not Little & Youth’s measurement

This is what parents report anecdotally — crowd sentiment, not a Little & Youth determination. Our sizing above is computed from Fabletics’ own published chart; the notes here come from public parent discussion.

Fabletics kids runs true to size — order your child’s usual size, with the joggers the one piece a few parents found snug. The kids’ line is new (late 2024) and small — a unisex Go-To hoodie, crew, jogger and holiday onesie in 2T through XXL (18) — so shopper discussion is limited to the reviews on Fabletics’ own site, where roughly 175 parents and grandparents mostly report ‘fits great’ or ‘true to size’; the fit comments that go the other way are a toddler whose 3T hoodie was outgrown in three wears, a jogger buyer who had to reorder a size up for a snug waist, an XXL jogger ‘a little on the small side’, one ‘shorter than hoped’, and two crews ‘a tad big’ on a child at the bottom of the size band. Reviewers describe the fabric as thick, soft, warm and the same quality as the adult line, and the hoodie is cut a bit wide on purpose. The r/Fabletics community has asked how kids’ sizes compare to Cat & Jack and Gap and got no answers, so there is no independent cross-brand read yet.

Based on anecdotal discussion from multiple publicly available online sources; your experience may differ.

Should you buy Fabletics?

Consider it if…

  • You want matching family sets — nearly every reviewer bought the kids' hoodie, crew or holiday onesie to match a parent or grandparent, and the prints line up with the adult range.
  • Your child has sensory issues or lives in soft sweats — parents say the fleece is thick, warm and soft enough that kids refuse to take it off, and the joggers hold up to play and washing.
  • You are a VIP member shopping the sales — kids' pieces regularly drop to a few dollars in member promos, which is when most reviewers bought.

Think twice if…

  • You are not a member — non-member prices run about $55 for kids' joggers, and the VIP model means a monthly charge unless you skip.
  • Your child is at the top of a size band — the bands are wide (S 6/7, M 8, L 10/12) and the few 'snug' and 'outgrown fast' reports came from kids near the upper edge; consider the next size.
  • You want range or basics beyond sweats — the kids' line is a handful of unisex fleece pieces and seasonal onesies, and parents repeatedly ask for more options.

Skip the cross-referencing — let Little & Youth do it.

A few things parents ask that the chart won’t tell you

Does Fabletics kids run small or big?

True to size, by most on-site reviews — 'fits TTS' and 'perfect fit' dominate. The minority reports lean small (a snug jogger waist, a 3T hoodie outgrown quickly, an XXL 'a little on the small side'), so a child at the top of a band is safer one size up; two crew buyers found the 4T/5T a tad big on a 3T-4T child.

How do Fabletics kids sizes compare to Target or Gap?

Unknown from shopper data — a parent asking exactly this on r/Fabletics got no replies. The bands are height-and-weight based and unisex, so compare the chart's measurements rather than the age label; the 4T/5T, 6/7 and 8 sizes map roughly to standard US kids' sizes in reviewer comments.

Are the kids' pieces the same quality as adult Fabletics?

Reviewers say yes — 'as high quality in youth as on adult', thick fleece that keeps warmth without a jacket, washes well. The one recurring durability complaint is a jogger drawstring breaking after a few washes.

What measurements do I need to size Fabletics accurately?

Fabletics publishes height, weight, chest, waist, hip 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 Fabletics?

Fabletics is sold on its own site and through select retailers.
