About the Clothes Size Converter

Why do clothing sizes differ?

Clothing sizes evolved independently in different countries and are based on different body measurement standards. There is no universal sizing system, which is why a size 12 from one country may not match a size 12 from another.

How to use this converter

Select a garment category (women's tops, bottoms, men's tops, or shoes), then find your known size in one region's column and read across to find the equivalent in other regions.

Women's tops — US, UK, EU, and AU sizes
Women's bottoms — waist-based sizing across regions
Men's tops — chest-based sizing across regions
Shoes — EU, US, UK, and CM conversions

Getting an accurate fit when shopping online

International size labels are unreliable for predicting fit. Brands differ significantly even within the same country. The most reliable method is to measure your chest, waist, and hips in centimetres and compare directly to each brand's size guide, which is usually in the product pages.

Chest — measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape horizontal
Waist — measure at the narrowest point, usually about 2 cm above the navel
Hips — measure around the fullest part, usually 20 cm below the waist
Inside leg — for trousers, measure from crotch to ankle on the inside of the leg; UK standard is 30, 32, or 34 inches

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do clothing sizes differ between countries?

Clothing sizes evolved independently in different countries and are based on different body measurement systems and historical conventions. There is no universal standard, which is why conversion tables like this one are necessary.

Are these sizes accurate for all brands?

These are general guidelines based on standard sizing charts. Individual brands — especially fashion labels — often size differently. Always check the brand's own size guide and measure yourself for the best fit.

Why do clothing sizes vary so much between brands?

Clothing sizes are not standardised globally. Each brand sets its own sizing, which means a size 12 from one retailer may fit differently than a size 12 from another — even within the same country.

What is vanity sizing?

Vanity sizing refers to the practice of labelling clothes with smaller size numbers than their actual measurements. It has become increasingly common, which is why measuring yourself in centimetres or inches gives the most reliable fit guidance.

How do I measure myself accurately?

For the most accurate size conversion, measure your chest, waist, and hips with a soft tape measure held parallel to the floor. Measure over light clothing and keep the tape snug but not tight.
