Aritzia Babaton Chisel Skirt Try-on & Fit Review: Fabric, Sizing, and Styling
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
Deciphering the Aritzia sizing guide for this specific cut requires understanding your personal comfort threshold for fitted silhouettes. The garment is labeled across alpha sizing ranging from 2XS to XL. In standard Aritzia haul try-on settings, shoppers who purchase their usual numeric size equivalent often report a skin-tight initial sensation.
If you prefer a true pencil skirt fit that functions like light contouring shapewear, taking your standard size works. The waistband will anchor securely, preventing slippage throughout the day. However, if you plan to wear this as a standard office wardrobe staple without drawing attention to every curve, sizing up by one full increment is the practical choice.
Sizing up adds necessary breathing room through the lower hips and upper thighs without causing the waistband to sag. Because the top edge relies on substantial elastic recovery, going up a size rarely creates the dreaded back gap common in woven trousers. For anyone measuring between sizes or carrying weight primarily through the hips, moving up prevents the ribbed pattern from over-stretching, which can otherwise cause the fabric to look slightly lighter across high-stress points.
