When shopping for clothes online, sometimes instead of S, M, or L, you only see “TU”. This is not a sizing error. TU means that the style is produced in a single size, designed to fit a wide range of body types. Below, you will learn exactly what TU means, which clothes and accessories use it, and how to check if a style will fit you before you order.
What does TU size mean?
TU comes from the French taille unique, which means “one size”. The same designation is also used as One Size, OS, UNI, or “universal size”. They all mean the same thing: the item does not come in a range of sizes but is offered in a single option.
One size does not mean it fits everyone perfectly. It means the cut is loose, the fabric is stretchy, or there are adjustable elements—a belt, ties, or elastic—that allow the garment to fit different body types. That is why with TU, the most important thing is not the size label, but the specific measurements of the item.
Which items use TU?
- Knitted sweaters with a loose fit. The knit stretches and drapes softly, so many brands make them in one size. An example is the women’s sweaters at Gold&Gold, marked as TU—such as the beige merino wool and cashmere sweater with a loose fit and V-neck.
- Styles with a universal cut. The SOLENE women’s sweater is size UNI, 58 cm long, 58 cm wide, with 26 cm sleeves, and made of 65% viscose and 35% nylon.
- Bags and accessories. For these, the item itself is the size—dimensions matter, not a size label. That is why women’s bags are marked as TU, and their dimensions are provided in the description.
- Scarves, hats, and adjustable belts. These are also often sold in one size.
How to check if a TU style will fit you
- Take a garment that fits you well. Place it on a flat surface and measure its length and width under the armpits.
- Compare it to the measurements in the description. The width in the description is usually measured from seam to seam across the front, meaning it is half the circumference. If your garment is 52 cm and the TU style is 58 cm, it will fit more loosely.
- Check the fabric. Knits, viscose, and fabrics with elastane allow for a greater difference in measurements. Dense, non-stretch fabrics require the measurements to be closer to yours.
- Pay attention to the length and sleeve length. For loose styles, these are more important than the width because they determine how the silhouette looks.
- Ask us if you are unsure. Write to us at shop@roberto.bg or call +359 892 030 004—we will measure the item and give you the exact dimensions.
TU and plus sizes
The loose fit of many TU styles also fits larger sizes, but not always. If you want to be sure about the fit, browse the Plus Size collection—there, the styles come in specific sizes. You can also try them on at the Roberto Plus Sizes store at 210 Blvd. “Săединение” in Velingrad.

Quick answers
What does TU mean for clothes? Taille unique—one size. The style is produced in a single option with a loose or adjustable fit.
Are TU and One Size the same? Yes. TU, One Size, OS, and UNI are different designations for the same approach.
Does TU fit everyone? Not necessarily. It fits a wide range of body types, but always compare the measurements in the description with a garment that fits you well.

In short
TU means one size, not a size for everyone. Before you order, compare the length, width, and sleeve length in the description with a garment that already fits you well, and check the fabric. If you are unsure, ask us—and if it still does not fit, you have 14 days to return it. Browse all products at Roberto's Fashion Store.
