FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are clothing sizes standardized internationally?
No. Clothing sizes vary significantly between brands, countries, and even product lines within the same brand. US, UK, and EU each use different numbering systems. "Vanity sizing" means brands may label larger garments with smaller size numbers. Use this converter as a starting guide, but always check the specific brand's size chart.
What is the difference between US and UK clothing sizes?
For women's clothing, US sizes are typically 4 numbers smaller than UK sizes (e.g., US 4 = UK 8). For men's clothing, US and UK sizes are often the same for tops (S/M/L) but may differ for trousers. EU sizes use a completely different numbering system based on body measurements in centimeters.
How do International sizes (XS, S, M, L) map to number sizes?
International letter sizes are approximate ranges: XS typically maps to US 0-2, S to US 4-6, M to US 8-10, L to US 12-14, XL to US 16-18. However, these mappings vary between brands. Asian sizing tends to run smaller — an Asian L might equal a US S or M.
Why do EU sizes use larger numbers?
EU sizes are loosely based on body measurements in centimeters. For women's tops, the EU size roughly corresponds to half the bust circumference (e.g., EU 36 ≈ 72cm bust). For men's shirts, EU sizes correspond to the collar measurement. This system is more measurement-based than the arbitrary US numbering.
How do I find my correct size when shopping internationally?
First, take accurate body measurements (bust, waist, hips in cm). Then compare against the specific retailer's size chart — never rely solely on size conversion tables. When between sizes, size up for comfort. Note that "relaxed fit" vs "slim fit" within the same size can vary by 2-4 inches in actual measurements.
