The clothing size chart converts between US, UK, EU, French, Italian, and Asian clothing sizes for women's, men's, and children's garments. International sizing systems use completely different numbering — this reference helps you find your size when shopping from overseas retailers.
Measurement Tips for Accurate Sizing
International Clothing Size Guide
The clothing size chart helps you navigate international sizing when shopping online from US, UK, European, or Asian retailers. Sizing systems vary significantly by country and even more by brand.
Women's Size Systems
US women's sizes (0-20) use even numbers and have no direct measurement correlation. UK sizes are the same numbers as US sizes shifted up by 4 (US 8 = UK 12). EU sizes use chest/bust measurements in a condensed format (EU 36 = 36cm+ bust). French and Italian sizes add different offsets. Asian (Japan/Korea) sizes tend to run smaller — a US medium is typically a Japanese L or XL.
Shopping International: What to Know
Size charts are guidelines, not guarantees. For unfamiliar brands, always check the specific brand's measurement chart (in inches or centimeters) and compare to your own measurements. When in doubt between two sizes, size up for structured garments (blazers, tailored shirts) and size down for stretchy materials (jersey, denim with elastane).
FAQ
Is this clothing size chart free?
Yes, completely free with no signup required. Convert women's, men's, and children's clothing sizes between all major international standards.
What is a US size 8 in UK?
A US women's size 8 is equivalent to a UK size 12. US women's sizes are typically 4 sizes lower than their UK equivalents — US 8 = UK 12, US 10 = UK 14, US 12 = UK 16.
What is a US size 8 in EU?
A US women's size 8 is approximately EU size 38. EU sizes use a different numerical system entirely based on measurements. US 6 ≈ EU 36, US 8 ≈ EU 38, US 10 ≈ EU 40, US 12 ≈ EU 42.
How do men's sizes differ internationally?
Men's sizing is somewhat more consistent internationally. US and UK men's shirt sizes are usually the same (S/M/L/XL or chest inches). EU shirt sizes use chest circumference in centimeters (EU 46 ≈ US 36/S). Trouser sizes are measured in inches in US/UK, while EU uses centimeter waist/inseam.
Why do sizes vary so much between brands?
Size standards are not legally mandated in most countries — each brand sets its own dimensions for each size label. A 'medium' from one brand may fit like a 'large' from another. Always check a brand's specific size chart and measurements rather than relying on the label alone.
