Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know my clothing size?
Check a garment you already own that fits well — the size label corresponds to one of the systems above. Use the chart to find equivalent sizes in other systems.
Why do clothing sizes differ between countries?
Each region developed its own sizing standard independently. EU sizes are based on body measurements in cm, while US/UK use letter or number systems. Italian sizes tend to run smaller than other European sizes.
What is the difference between men's and women's sizing?
Men's and women's clothing are cut differently to fit different body proportions. The same numerical size may represent different measurements in each category.
Are these sizes exact across all brands?
No — sizing varies between brands and even between different product lines. This converter provides standard reference sizes. Always check the brand's specific size chart when possible.
What does JP size mean?
Japanese (JP) clothing sizes are based on body measurements. For tops, the number represents chest circumference in cm. For bottoms, it represents waist circumference in cm.
How do I convert between US and EU sizes?
Use this converter by selecting US as your 'From' system and EU as your 'To' system. Enter your US size and the equivalent EU size will be displayed instantly.
