Clothing size systems
Three systems are in common use:
| System | Top sizing | Notes | |--------|------------|-------| | European (EU) | 44ā60 (men), 32ā50 (women) | Based on chest/bust in cm | | US | XSā4XL or numeric (women) | Numeric differs by retailer | | UK | 34ā48" chest (men), 6ā24 (women) | Similar to US, one size apart for women | | Italian (IT) | Same as EU | Often used in fashion/luxury brands |
How to measure: - Chest/bust: Tape around fullest part, arms relaxed, in centimeters - Waist: Around natural waist (narrowest point), not belt line - Foot length: Stand on paper, mark heel to longest toe, measure in cm
Note: Sizing varies between brands. Always check the specific brand's size chart for garments before purchasing.
