Convert Clothing Size

Clothing sizes are not standardized internationally. Each country and even brand can set its own sizing standards based on different body measurement studies, target demographics, and historical conventions. This is why a 'Medium' in the US might be a 'Large' in Europe or Asia.

Vanity sizing is the practice of assigning smaller sizes to clothes than what they actually are. Brands do this to make customers feel better about their size, hoping it will encourage them to buy. This has led to significant inconsistencies in sizing over the years.

The best way is to take your own measurements (chest, waist, hips) and compare them to the brand's specific size chart. Don't rely on just the 'S/M/L' labels. Our converter can help you translate between different country's sizing systems, but always check the brand's chart for the best fit.

Men's sizing is typically based on chest and waist measurements (e.g., 40R jacket, 32/34 pants). Women's sizing is more complex, often using arbitrary numbers (e.g., 8, 10, 12) that can vary greatly and are based on bust, waist, and hip measurements.

No, they are different. For example, a women's US size 8 is typically equivalent to a European size 40. For men, a US size 40 jacket is often an EU size 50. It's crucial to convert sizes when shopping from international brands.
