Understanding Clothing Size Systems
Navigating international clothing sizes can be confusing. With no global standard, sizes can vary dramatically from one country to another and even between different brands. Our clothing size converter helps you easily translate between US, UK, European, and other international sizing systems for men and women.
Common Sizing Systems
United States (US)
- Uses a numerical system for women (0, 2, 4, etc.)
- Letter sizes (S, M, L) are common for casual wear
- Men's sizing often based on measurements (e.g., chest for shirts, waist/inseam for pants)
Europe (EU)
- Uses a different numerical system (e.g., 34, 36, 38 for women)
- EU sizes are often used across many European countries
- Men's sizes are also numerical (e.g., 48, 50, 52)

Conversion Tips
- Always check the brand's own size chart if available.
- Measure yourself: know your chest, waist, and hip measurements.
- Fabric matters: stretchy materials offer more flexibility in sizing.
- When in doubt, it's often safer to size up, especially with non-stretchy fabrics.
Our converter tool is a great starting point for finding your size internationally. However, for the best possible fit, always refer to the specific brand's sizing guide and consider customer reviews for information on how an item fits.
Clothing Size Questions
Everything you need to know about clothing size conversions
Why do clothing sizes vary so much between brands and countries?
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.
What is 'vanity sizing'?
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.
How can I find my correct size when shopping online?
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.
What's the difference between men's and women's sizing?
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.
Are European (EU) and US sizes the same?
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.
