International Clothing Size Converter

How to Use This Page
Label converter (first tool)
- Select gender: Men's and women's scales differ.
- Select the region on your tag (for example US or EU) and enter that label (for example 8, M, or 48).
- Read the matching row for other regions. Highlighted row shows your match.
Top size tool (second tool) + tips
- Measure chest or bust, waist, and hips with a soft tape (cm or in).
- Enter values in the top converter and pick brand line if needed.
- ✓Measure Accurately: Use a soft measuring tape and measure when wearing well-fitting undergarments. Stand straight and breathe normally for the most accurate results.
- ✓Consider Fit Preferences: Different regions have different fit preferences. European sizes tend to be more fitted, while US sizes may be more relaxed.
- ✓Account for Brand Variations: Even within the same sizing system, different brands may have different fits. Always check brand-specific size charts when available.
- ✓Size Up When in Doubt: For items that can't be easily adjusted, consider sizing up for comfort, especially when shopping from international retailers.
Conversion Examples
Example 1: US to EU Conversion
Scenario: You wear a US women's size 8 and want to buy clothing from a European brand.
Note: European sizes are typically 2 sizes larger than US women's sizes. However, European fit is often more fitted, so the actual garment may feel similar in size.
Example 2: UK to US Conversion
Scenario: You wear a UK size 12 and need to find your US equivalent.
Note: UK sizes are typically 2 sizes larger than US women's sizes. For men's clothing, the difference is usually 1 size (UK 40 = US 40).
Top Size (Tops) — Measurement Based
Best for shirts, jackets, and knits when you have body measurements. For tag-only conversion, use the label tool above.
Input your body measurements and get the best-matching sizes across brands and ranges.

A Note on Sizing Standards
Global clothing sizes are not fully standardized, which can lead to confusion. The data used in our converter is cross-referenced with established standards like EN 13402 and common brand practices to provide a reliable conversion.
However, sizes can still vary between brands due to different fit models and "vanity sizing". For detailed information, we recommend consulting the official standards body, the ISO/TC 133 committee, which is responsible for the global ISO 8559 clothing size standards.
Understanding Clothing Size Systems

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a US size M in UK sizes?
A standard US Medium (M) for women is typically a UK size 12-14. For men, a US Medium corresponds to a UK chest size of around 38-40 inches. Sizes can vary significantly by brand.
Are clothing sizes in the EU different from the US?
Yes, they are very different. For example, a US women's size 8 is often an EU size 38. The EU system is based on different body measurements and standards.
How do I find my dress size?
To find your dress size, you typically need to measure your bust, waist, and hips. Then, compare these measurements to a brand's size chart. Our converter can help you switch between international size numbers (like 8, 10, 12) once you know your size in one system.
What is the difference between the label converter and the top size tool?
The label converter maps one country's clothing size label to other country labels on the same row. The top size tool uses your body measurements to suggest top sizes across brand charts. Use labels when you already know your size in one system; use measurements when you want a fit-based recommendation for tops.
