Clothing Size Converter
Convert men's and women's clothing and shoe sizes between EU, US, UK, and Italian standards.
Select a size to see equivalents
Sizes may vary by brand. Use as a reference only.
Select your gender and clothing category (tops, pants, or shoes), then choose the sizing standard you know (EU, US, UK, IT, or INT). Click your size to instantly see its equivalents across all other standards. The highlighted card shows your source size. Note: sizes are approximate averages — always check brand-specific size guides when shopping.
Clothing sizes vary significantly between countries and even between brands within the same country. An EU 38 women's top is a US 8, UK 10, and IT 42 — four different numbers for the same garment. Knowing how to convert sizes helps avoid returns when shopping internationally online, especially from US, European, or Asian retailers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between EU and US clothing sizes?
EU sizes are based on body measurements in centimeters, while US sizes use a numerical or letter system (XS/S/M/L/XL or numerical for jeans). For example, an EU 48 men's jacket corresponds to US "L". Women's sizes differ too: EU 38 = US 8 for tops.
How do UK clothing sizes compare to EU?
UK women's sizes typically run about 4 numbers lower than EU sizes (EU 36 = UK 8). UK men's clothing often uses the same letter system (S/M/L) but shoes differ significantly: UK sizes run about 1 full size below EU.
What does "INT" size mean?
INT (International) refers to the generic letter-based system: XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, 3XL, 4XL. It is widely used by sportswear and casual brands globally, though exact measurements vary between manufacturers.
Are Italian clothing sizes different from EU sizes?
Italian (IT) sizes typically match EU numeric sizes exactly for most garments (IT 46 = EU 46 for men's jackets). However, some Italian luxury brands cut slightly smaller, so it's always worth checking the brand's own size chart.
Why do sizes vary between brands?
Clothing sizes are not standardized across manufacturers. A "size M" from one brand may differ by 2–5 cm from another brand's "M". This is especially true for jeans, where the fit (slim, regular, loose) also plays a major role.
How do US and EU shoe sizes compare?
EU shoe sizes are based on foot length in Paris points (2/3 cm). A rough formula: EU size ≈ US men's size + 31, EU size ≈ US women's size + 30. For example, EU 42 ≈ US men's 9, EU 38 ≈ US women's 8. Always measure your foot in cm for the most accurate match.
What is "plus size" in different countries?
Plus size varies by country: in the US it typically starts at size 14W (or EU 44); in the UK it starts at size 16; in France/EU it starts around size 46–48. Some brands use "extended sizes" or "curve" ranges. This converter covers standard sizes — very large sizes may fall outside the comparison table.
How do I measure myself for the most accurate size?
For tops: measure your chest (fullest part) and waist. For pants: measure waist and hips (widest point), plus inseam (crotch to ankle). For shoes: measure foot length from heel to longest toe in cm (measure in the afternoon when feet are slightly swollen). Use these measurements against the brand's size chart rather than relying only on size conversions.
What is the difference between slim, regular, and loose fit?
Fit describes how the garment sits on your body — a slim-cut EU 48 jacket will feel tighter than a regular-cut EU 48 from the same brand. Slim fit follows body contours, regular fit gives 2–4 cm ease, and loose/relaxed fit provides 5+ cm ease. The size number stays the same, only the cut changes.
Does this converter include children's sizes?
No — this tool covers adult sizes only. Children's clothing uses a different system based on age or height in cm (e.g., 110 cm = approx. 4–5 years in the EU system). For children, measure height and weight and use the brand's specific age/height chart.
