If you're thinking of buying Billabong clothing, one of the most common questions is whether the brand runs large, small, or uses different patterns depending on the type of garment.
The good news is that Billabong usually has fairly standard sizing. However, the brand uses different types of cuts or fits depending on the collection, so two t-shirts of the same size may fit differently.
In this guide, we explain how Billabong sizing really works and what you should consider before buying t-shirts, swimsuits, hoodies, or women's clothing.
Does Billabong run large or small?
Generally speaking, Billabong usually runs true to size.
Most customers use the same size they typically wear in other surf and casual fashion brands.
For example:
-
If you usually wear an M, it's most likely that your Billabong size will also be an M.
-
If you usually wear an L, an L typically fits correctly.
-
It's not a brand known for running particularly large or particularly small.
Even so, it's important to be aware of the different cuts the brand uses.
How Billabong Men's T-shirts Fit
Billabong primarily works with several types of fit or cut.
Premium Fit
This is the most common cut.
Features:
-
Standard fit.
-
Normal shoulders.
-
Straight drape.
-
Comfortable for everyday wear.
If you're looking for a classic t-shirt that's neither too tight nor too loose, this is the most common cut.
In this case, we recommend ordering your usual size.
Regular Fit
Increasingly common in current collections.
Features:
-
More room in the chest and waist.
-
Slightly wider shoulders.
-
Relaxed surf style.
If you like loose-fitting clothing, you can order your usual size.
If you prefer a more fitted look, you might consider sizing down.
OG Fit
Some collections use especially loose patterns.
Features:
-
Dropped shoulder.
-
Longer sleeves.
-
Wide silhouette.
In these models, the oversized effect is part of the design and does not mean the garment fits incorrectly.
How Billabong Hoodies Fit
Billabong hoodies typically have very standard sizing.
Our experience is that:
-
XS corresponds approximately to an XS.
-
S corresponds approximately to an S.
-
M corresponds approximately to an M.
-
L corresponds approximately to an L.
-
XL corresponds approximately to an XL.
If you're looking for a comfortable hoodie to wear over a t-shirt or during summer evenings, your usual size is usually the correct choice.
How Billabong Men's Swim Trunks Fit
Billabong swim trunks usually use numerical sizes.
The most common are:
-
28
-
30
-
32
-
34
-
36
-
38
As an approximate reference:
-
30 = S
-
32 = M
-
34 = L
-
36 = XL
Billabong swim trunks usually have a very true-to-size fit, and we generally recommend ordering the same size you wear in other surf brands.
How Billabong Women's Clothing Fits
Billabong women's clothing maintains a philosophy similar to men's.
Most garments feature a comfortable fit designed for a relaxed beach lifestyle.
As a general reference:
-
XS usually corresponds to a 34-36 (US 2-4).
-
S usually corresponds to a 36-38 (US 4-6).
-
M usually corresponds to a 38-40 (US 6-8).
-
L usually corresponds to a 40-42 (US 8-10).
-
XL usually corresponds to a 42-44 (US 10-12).
How Billabong Bikinis and Swimsuits Fit
Bikinis and swimsuits are probably the garments where the most doubts usually arise.
Our recommendation is simple:
-
If you are comfortable with your usual size, you can usually order that same size.
-
If you are between two sizes, it is usually advisable to choose the larger one.
-
If you have doubts about the bikini top due to your bust, we also recommend opting for the larger size.
Since these are fitted garments, a slightly larger size is usually more comfortable.
Does Billabong Size the Same as Rip Curl?
Yes, generally speaking, both brands use fairly similar patterns.
Differences usually come more from the specific fit type of each garment than from the brand itself.
Therefore, we always recommend reviewing the product description to check if it is a Regular Fit, Relaxed Fit, or Oversized Fit model.
Does Billabong Size the Same as Quiksilver?
They are also quite similar.
In fact, many customers use exactly the same size in Billabong and Quiksilver.
