Clothing size systems

Three systems are in common use:

| System | Top sizing | Notes | |--------|------------|-------| | European (EU) | 44–60 (men), 32–50 (women) | Based on chest/bust in cm | | US | XS–4XL or numeric (women) | Numeric differs by retailer | | UK | 34–48" chest (men), 6–24 (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.

Assumptions

  • Based on standard EU/ISO sizing tables; actual fit varies significantly between brands.
  • Trouser size shown is waist size only — inseam varies by body proportions and must be measured separately.
  • Shoe sizes based on Mondopoint foot length reference; UK and US shoe sizing is not fully standardized.

Frequently asked questions

›How do EU and US clothing sizes compare?

For men's shirts, EU 48 = US M = UK 38. For women's, EU 38 = US 6/S = UK 10. EU sizes are based on body measurements in centimeters.

›What is EU shoe size in US?

EU 42 = US Men's 8.5 = US Women's 10 = UK 7.5. Always measure foot length for best accuracy — shoe sizes vary more between brands than clothing sizes.

›What are Italian clothing sizes?

Italian sizes generally match EU sizes for men (EU 48 = IT 48). For women's, Italian sizing typically runs 2 sizes ahead of EU (EU 38 = IT 42 in some brands), though this varies.

›Why do sizes vary between brands?

Sizing tables are not standardized by law — brands define their own fit standards (slim, regular, relaxed). Always measure yourself and compare to the brand's specific size chart.
