Gestuz: What models are available and what size fits?
Gestuz gives every piece a first name. Paula, Debbie, Alpha, Olivia, Lalou, Roa. Anyone familiar with the brand looks specifically for these. Anyone discovering it for the first time is faced with a list of names without any mental image.
This post categorizes the models we carry in the store. And it answers the question we receive most often: What size should I take?
Key points at a glance
- 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 is the knitwear, Alpha is the basic knit shirt.
- In our store, the pieces range between €50 and €650.
- The silhouettes are almost all relaxed in cut; therefore, 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 uniform numbering system.
Blazers, dresses, and dress trousers come in EU sizes, usually from 34 to 40, and for some trousers and jackets from 36 to 42. Knitwear runs from XS to XL. Jeans follow waist measurements in inches, from 26 to 31.
Added to this is the cut. Many models are deliberately kept oversized or loose. If you are between two sizes and want a defined silhouette, take the smaller one. If you want the relaxed look, stick with your usual size.
Paula: the tailoring line
The brand's most famous name, and the most sought-after. The GZPaula blazer is available in several versions, from a relaxed cut with structured shoulders to an oversized variant.
The line doesn't stop with the blazer. There are matching straight trousers in the same tone, meaning a complete suit if you want to wear them together.
Blazers from €70, the trousers from €170. Sizes 34 to 40.
Debbie: the knitwear that moves the fastest
Debbie is the knitwear family. It is available as a sweater with a classic round neck and as a cardigan with a stand-up collar and button placket.
Both have a straight, relaxed cut and come in heathered tones like Chestnut or Navy. Over a white shirt with jeans or over a dress: Debbie adds structure to everything underneath.
Sweaters from €150, cardigans from €190. Sizes XS to XL.
Alpha: the basic piece
Alpha is knitwear in the form of a shirt. The model is available as a T-shirt, a long-sleeve top, and a cardigan, all in the same minimalist design language.
The straight silhouette makes Alpha a piece that works under almost every blazer. If you want to try out Gestuz without going all-in, start here. From €130.
Olivia and Stacy: two more blazers
Olivia is the military blazer: classic lapel, single-button closure, oversized cut, made from recycled polyester with viscose and elastane. €260.
Stacy is the quieter variant. Straight cut, striking lapels, heathered natural tones. €168.
Both come 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 internationally. €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 dress trouser with pleats, also available as a shirt blouse. From €150.
Sara is the wide-leg jean with a high waist, in a clean rinse wash blue. €90, sizes 26 to 31.
