Mixed Emotions Clothing Size Guide: Find Your Perfect Fit

What size should you order? It’s the most common question we get, and the answer isn’t as simple as “go with your usual.” Mixed Emotions clothing runs differently depending on the product category. The hoodies are intentionally oversized. The sweatpants have a relaxed taper. The shirts sit somewhere between standard and relaxed. Ordering your default size without understanding these differences is how returns happen.

This page gives you the exact measurements, body type guidance, and fit tips for every Mixed Emotions product category. If you’re new to the brand and want to explore the full range of products before worrying about sizing, our complete guide to Mixed Emotions clothing covers everything from hoodies and tracksuits to shorts and hats. But if you already know what you want and just need the right size, this is your page.

How Mixed Emotions Sizing Works

Mixed Emotions uses unisex sizing across its entire lineup. That means every piece is cut to work on all body types, but it also means the fit runs wider and longer than what you’d expect from gender-specific brands. A men’s medium from Nike or Adidas won’t translate directly to a Mixed Emotions medium. You need to check the actual measurements.

The brand designs with an oversized, relaxed silhouette as the default. Ronald Rice built this into the DNA of the label. The clothes are meant to drape, not cling. So when the tag says “medium,” it’s a medium within Mixed Emotions’ own system, which runs about one size larger than conventional US sizing.

Here’s where it gets specific. A Mixed Emotions medium hoodie typically measures around 27 inches in body length and 24 inches across the chest (laid flat). Compare that to a standard medium hoodie from a mall brand, which sits closer to 25.5 inches long and 21.5 inches across. That’s a noticeable difference, especially through the torso and shoulders.

The key takeaway: if you want the intended relaxed, streetwear-forward fit, order your normal size. If you prefer a slimmer, closer fit, size down one.

Mixed Emotions Clothing Size Guide by Category

Each product category fits slightly differently. Here’s what to expect from each.

Oversized Graphic Hoodies

These are the most generous in the lineup. They run one to two sizes larger than conventional. Dropped shoulders, extended body length, and wide sleeves are part of the design. A size small in this hoodie fits more like a standard medium-to-large. If you’re between sizes, go with the smaller option. We see more returns from people who sized up “just in case” and ended up swimming in fabric. That extra room on an already oversized hoodie makes it look unintentional rather than styled.

Pullover Fleece Hoodies

These run closer to standard but still lean relaxed. The chest and shoulders are about half an inch narrower than the oversized graphic style, and the body length is roughly an inch shorter. If you normally wear a medium in most brands, a medium here will feel comfortable without overwhelming your frame. Good for layering under jackets without too much bulk.

Heavyweight Winter Hoodies

Similar cut to the oversized graphic, but the thicker cotton-fleece blend adds about a quarter inch of visual bulk all around. The fit on paper is nearly identical, but the heavier fabric makes it feel slightly snugger. If you’re right at the border between two sizes, the heavyweight is the one category where sizing up actually makes sense.

Sweatpants

Relaxed through the thigh with a tapered leg below the knee. The waistband is elastic with a drawstring, so you’ve got about 2 inches of play in the waist. A size medium waist measures approximately 30 to 32 inches. Length runs standard. If you’re 5’10” or under, a medium length works. Taller than 6’1″, consider a large for the extra inseam.

Shorts

Loose fit, hitting just above or at the knee depending on your height. Elastic waistband with drawstring, same 2-inch flex as the sweatpants. These are the most forgiving category for sizing. Unless you’re at an extreme end of the size spectrum, your normal size will work.

T-Shirts

The most standard fit in the lineup. Still slightly relaxed compared to slim-fit brands, but not dramatically oversized like the hoodies. A medium shirt measures about 20.5 inches across the chest and 28 inches long. True to size for most people. If you want a tighter look, size down. If you want it to match the oversized hoodie vibe, size up one.

If you’re deciding between a hoodie and a full tracksuit and wondering how sizing compares across those two options, our hoodie versus tracksuit comparison covers the fit differences in detail.

How to Measure Yourself (Do This Before Ordering)

Guessing your size based on what you wear from other brands is the single biggest cause of returns we process. Five minutes with a tape measure saves you a week of shipping back and forth.

Chest: Wrap the tape measure around the widest part of your chest, under your arms. Keep the tape flat against your body, not tight. Write down the number in inches.

Body length (for hoodies and shirts): Measure from the highest point of your shoulder, near the base of your neck, straight down to where you want the garment to end. For a hoodie that hits at the hip, that’s usually 26 to 29 inches depending on your torso length.

Waist (for sweatpants and shorts): Measure around your natural waistline, which sits about an inch above your belly button for most people. Don’t pull the tape tight. You want the measurement to reflect how the elastic waistband will sit, not how a belt would cinch.

Inseam (for sweatpants): Measure from your crotch seam down to where you want the pant leg to end. Mixed Emotions sweatpants have a tapered leg, so they’ll naturally bunch slightly at the ankle if you run long. That look is intentional in streetwear, but if you prefer a clean break at the ankle, get the inseam right.

Once you have your numbers, compare them directly against the measurements listed on each product page. Don’t convert between brand sizing systems. Just match your body to the garment’s actual dimensions.

Fit Tips by Body Type

Sizing charts give you the numbers. But how a hoodie actually looks on your body depends on your proportions, not just your circumference.

Broad shoulders, athletic build: The oversized graphic hoodies are genuinely flattering here. The dropped shoulder sits in a natural spot on wider frames, and the boxy chest panel gives you room without looking baggy. Stick with your normal size. Sizing down will pull across the shoulders, which ruins the silhouette.

Slim or lean build: The pullover fleece hoodie is your best bet for a fitted but not tight look. The oversized graphic can work if you want the streetwear drape, but it will look deliberately large. That’s a style choice, not a sizing mistake. Own it or skip it.

Taller frames (6’1″ and up): Body length is your main concern. The oversized graphic and heavyweight hoodies have enough length to cover the waistband of your pants, which is what you want. The pullover fleece runs slightly shorter and might ride up. Size up one for body length, and accept slightly more room in the chest.

Shorter frames (5’6″ and under): Size down one across the board. The oversized cut will still give you the relaxed look without the hoodie hitting mid-thigh. Sweatpants will need to be cuffed or hemmed at the ankle unless you go with the small, which is designed for about 28 to 29 inch inseams.

When This Size Guide Won’t Help

We’ve tried to make this as specific as possible, but there are limits.

If you fall between two sizes and can’t decide, no chart will give you a perfect answer. Fabric stretch, personal preference for tightness, and how you plan to layer all affect the “right” size. Our honest recommendation in that situation: go with the smaller size for hoodies (they’re already oversized) and the larger size for sweatpants (the elastic waist accommodates, but tight thighs don’t).

If you’re buying a gift and don’t have the recipient’s measurements, a size chart alone won’t save you. Ask for their height, weight, and what size they usually wear in other streetwear brands. That gives us enough to recommend accurately if you reach out to support.

The charts on this page reflect current production runs. Mixed Emotions occasionally adjusts cuts slightly between drops. If a particular product page shows different measurements than what’s listed here, trust the product page. It’s tied to that specific batch.

The Short Version

Measure yourself. Match to the product measurements, not to what you wear in other brands. For hoodies, order your regular size for the intended oversized fit, or size down one for a closer fit. For sweatpants and shorts, your regular size works. For shirts, true to size.

If you’re ready to shop, head to the Mixed Emotions collection and use the size charts on each product page alongside the guidance here. You’ll get it right the first time.
