Gestuz: What models are available and what size fits?
Gestuz gives every piece a first name. Paula, Debbie, Alpha, Olivia, Lalou, Roa. Anyone who knows the brand searches specifically for these. Anyone discovering it for the first time is faced with a list of names without images in their head.
This post categorizes the models we carry in the store. And it answers the question we receive most often: What size should I take?
The most important points in brief
- Gestuz uses three sizing systems: EU sizes for blazers, dresses, and trousers, XS to XL for knitwear, and inch sizes for jeans.
- Paula is the tailoring line, Debbie the knitwear, Alpha the basic knit shirt.
- Our pieces range between €50 and €650.
- Almost all silhouettes are cut in a relaxed fit, so many pieces run a little large.
The sizes: three systems in one collection
This is the most common stumbling block. Gestuz does not use a standardized numbering system.
Blazers, dresses, and suit trousers run in EU sizes, usually from 34 to 40, and from 36 to 42 for some trousers and jackets. Knitwear runs from XS to XL. Jeans run according to waist size in inches, from 26 to 31.
Then there is the cut. Many models are intentionally kept oversized or loose. If you are between two sizes and want a clear silhouette, go for the smaller one. If you want a relaxed look, stick to your usual size.
Paula: the tailoring line
The brand's most famous name, and its most searched. The GZPaula blazer is available in several versions, from a relaxed cut with structured shoulders to an oversized variant.
The line doesn't stop at the blazer. There are matching straight trousers in the same shade, creating a complete suit if you want to wear it together.
Blazers from €70, trousers from €170. Sizes 34 to 40. An example: the Paula Blazer in Mole.
Debbie: the knitwear that moves the fastest
Debbie is the knitwear family. It is available as a sweater with a classic crew neck and as a cardigan with a stand-up collar and button placket.
Both have a straight, relaxed cut and come in mottled tones like Chestnut or Navy. Over a white shirt with jeans or over a dress: Debbie brings structure to everything underneath.
Sweater from €150, cardigan from €190. Sizes XS to XL.
Alpha: the basic piece
Alpha is knitwear in shirt form. The model is available as a T-shirt, a long-sleeve, and a cardigan, all in the same minimalist design language.
The straight silhouette makes Alpha a piece that works under almost any blazer. If you want to try out Gestuz without a major commitment, start here. From €130.
Olivia and Stacy: two more blazers
Olivia is the military blazer: classic lapels, single-button closure, oversized cut, made from recycled polyester with viscose and elastane. €260.
Stacy is the quieter version. Straight cut, striking lapels, mottled natural tones. €168.
Both run in sizes 34 to 40. For those wavering between the three: Paula is the all-rounder, Olivia is the statement piece, Stacy is the subtle solution.
Roa and Avic: the jackets
Roa is the short puffer jacket with a boxy silhouette, high collar, and hood, in earthy tones like Ganache. It is currently in high demand, even from abroad. €360, sizes 36 to 42.
Avic is the leather jacket: heavy, matte leather, high-necked collar, extra-long sleeves. The most expensive piece in our Gestuz selection at €650, sizes 34 to 38.
Lalou, Schany and Sara
Lalou is the slip dress with lace details and an asymmetrical hem; there is also a matching top. Dress €150, top €130.
Schany is the wide-cut suit trousers with pleats, also available as a shirt blouse. From €150.
Sara is the wide jeans with a high waist and wide leg, in a clear Rinse Wash Blue. €90, sizes 26 to 31.
