The Soriano Retro Shades
Take a moment with this guide. A well-fitted garment is the difference between something you wear and something you reach for.
How to Measure
Use a soft tape measure. Measure over a thin shirt, not over a sweater or jacket. Stand naturally — don't suck in or push out. Below is what to measure for each garment type.
- Chest / Bust: Measure around the fullest part, under the arms, with the tape level around the body.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline (just above the hip bone, where your body bends side to side).
- Hip: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat (typically 8" below the natural waist).
- Inseam: Measure from the very top of the inner thigh to the desired pant length (usually the ankle bone).
- Foot length: Stand on a piece of paper, mark the back of the heel and the longest toe, measure the distance.
Men's Sizing
Tops — Chest Sizing
Our men's sizes are listed by chest measurement in inches. This is the same numeric system used by Brooks Brothers, Brunello Cucinelli, and most premium European tailoring houses.
| Size | Chest (in) | Chest (cm) | Equivalent |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32 | 32–34" | 81–86 cm | XS |
| 34 | 34–36" | 86–91 cm | S |
| 36 | 36–38" | 91–97 cm | M |
| 40 | 40–42" | 102–107 cm | L |
| 42 | 42–44" | 107–112 cm | XL |
| 44 | 44–46" | 112–117 cm | XXL |
| 46 | 46–48" | 117–122 cm | 3XL |
A Note on Men's Fit
Our pieces are cut with a refined regular fit — not slim, not boxy. Closer to the body than mass-market American sizing, more generous than European slim cuts. If you wear Brunello Cucinelli or Loro Piana, you'll feel at home in your true size. If you wear Bonobos or Untuckit, consider sizing down by one.
Women's Sizing
Tops & Outerwear — Bust Sizing
Our women's sizes follow US standard (numeric 0–14). Pieces are cut with a refined feminine silhouette — not oversized, not body-conscious. Closer to The Row or Khaite than fast fashion.
| US Size | Bust (in) | Waist (in) | Hip (in) | EU | UK / AU |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 31–32" | 23–24" | 33–34" | 32 | 4 / 6 |
| 2 | 32–33" | 25–26" | 35–36" | 34 | 6 / 8 |
| 4 | 34–35" | 26–27" | 36–37" | 36 | 8 / 10 |
| 6 | 35–36" | 27–28" | 37–38" | 38 | 10 / 12 |
| 8 | 36–37" | 28–29" | 38–39" | 40 | 12 / 14 |
| 10 | 37–38" | 29–30" | 39–40" | 42 | 14 / 16 |
| 12 | 38–40" | 30–32" | 40–42" | 44 | 16 / 18 |
| 14 | 40–42" | 32–34" | 42–44" | 46 | 18 / 20 |
Bottoms — Pants & Trousers
For pants like The Riviera Comfort Balloon Pants, we use the same US numeric size (0–12). All styles are cut to a single standard length with an inseam of 28" (71 cm) — designed to be worn at the ankle or with a relaxed cuff.
| US Size | Waist (in) | Hip (in) | EU |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 24–25" | 34–35" | 32 |
| 2 | 25–26" | 35–36" | 34 |
| 4 | 26–27" | 36–37" | 36 |
| 6 | 27–28" | 37–38" | 38 |
| 8 | 28–29" | 38–39" | 40 |
| 10 | 29–30" | 39–40" | 42 |
| 12 | 30–32" | 40–42" | 44 |
Shrugs & Cardigans (Flexible Sizing)
Some women's pieces (like The Bloom Cotton Shrug) use flexible size ranges to accommodate cropped fits and varying body shapes.
| Range | Equivalent US Sizes | Bust (in) |
|---|---|---|
| 0/2 | XS | 31–33" |
| 4/6 | S | 34–36" |
| 8/10 | M | 36–38" |
| 12/14 | L / XL | 38–42" |
A Note on Women's Fit
If between sizes, our recommendation depends on the silhouette: size up for relaxed cropped pieces and oversized layers, size down for fitted pieces and pieces in linen (which softens and stretches with wear). When in doubt, choose the size that fits your fullest measurement — bust for tops, hip for bottoms.
Footwear
The Soriano Suede Loafer
Our loafers are sized in US Men's. Because there are no laces, the fit is closer than a sneaker. If you wear half sizes, we recommend sizing up by 0.5. If between sizes, size up.
| US Men's | Foot Length (in) | Foot Length (cm) | EU | UK |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| US 6 | 9.25" | 23.5 cm | EU 39 | UK 5 |
| US 7 | 9.625" | 24.4 cm | EU 40 | UK 6 |
| US 8 | 9.9375" | 25.2 cm | EU 41 | UK 7 |
| US 9 | 10.25" | 26.0 cm | EU 42 | UK 8 |
| US 10 | 10.5625" | 26.8 cm | EU 43 | UK 9 |
| US 11 | 10.9375" | 27.8 cm | EU 44 | UK 10 |
| US 12 | 11.25" | 28.6 cm | EU 45 | UK 11 |
| US 13 | 11.5625" | 29.4 cm | EU 46 | UK 12 |
| US 14 | 11.875" | 30.2 cm | EU 47 | UK 13 |
Women's Conversion to US Men's Loafer Sizing
Our loafers are unisex in design. For women looking to size into our men's loafer line, subtract approximately 1.5 sizes from your US Women's size: a Women's 7.5 is roughly a Men's US 6.

DESCRIPTION
The Final Detail.
The Soriano Retro Shades are the small accent that finishes a refined look. Round tinted lenses, double-beam gold frames, and a hand-detailed silhouette inspired by 1960s European tailoring — the kind of detail that quietly signals "this man knows what he's doing."
Worn with a linen polo on the Riviera. Worn with cashmere knitwear on a winter sidewalk. Worn alone, they elevate the entire outfit.
What Sets These Apart
- UV 400 Polarized Lenses — full UVA/UVB protection, dramatically reduced glare on water, snow, and asphalt. The same lens grade used in $200+ heritage eyewear.
- Double-Beam Gold Frame — vintage-inspired silhouette hand-finished in brushed metal. Reminiscent of Persol and Cutler & Gross at a fraction of the price.
- Lightweight Architectural Construction — sit on the bridge of the nose without weight or pressure. Perfect for all-day wear.
- Soft Nose Pads & Adjustable Temples — for a personalised fit that doesn't slip or squeeze.
Seven Lens Tones, Seven Outfits
- Black & Brown — the everyday classics. Pair with anything.
- Green & Blue — Mediterranean summer. Perfect with linen.
- Gray — refined neutrality. Most versatile lens for travel.
- Clear & Pink — fashion-forward statement frames for evenings.
The Atelier Soriano Pricing Standard
You will find similar shades at $190 from heritage eyewear brands. You will find them at $480 from designer labels with a small logo on the temple.
You will not find them at $29.99 — except here.
The reason is simple: we own our supply chain. No designer licensing fees. No flagship-store overhead. Just the eyewear, delivered direct, at what it actually costs to make beautifully.
Wear With
The Riviera Linen Shirt. The Soriano Cashmere Polo. The Riviera Linen Trouser. Or anything you already own — these shades elevate every wardrobe.
Care & Maintenance
Store in the included soft case when not worn. Clean lenses with a microfibre cloth — never paper towels or shirt fabric (which scratches). For the frame, wipe with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
