  3. Pick your known clothing size from the size dropdown, or tap a row in the size chart.

Converting Clothing Sizes Between Countries

Clothing sizes use different numbers in each region. In this converter's chart, a women's US 8 top is a UK 12, an EU 38 and an Asian (Japanese) 13, all a size Medium. Pick tops or bottoms, men or women, then the system you know and your size.

For women's tops, the pattern is simple. UK sizes are 4 above US sizes, and EU sizes are 30 above, so US 8 becomes UK 12 and EU 38. Men's tops use letter sizes with chest sizes in inches, such as M (38-40), and EU numbers from 44 to 58. Asian sizes often run about one letter smaller, so a US M matches a JP L in this chart.

Bottoms add waist sizes. Men's trousers in the US and UK are sold by waist in inches, such as 32, which matches EU 48 and about 81 cm in Asian sizing. Women's bottoms show the US size with a waist size in inches, such as 8 (28"), next to the UK and EU numbers and the waist in centimeters. Choose your size from the list or tap a row in the size chart. The result shows every system at once.

Sizes are only a guide. Brands cut differently, and many have made clothes bigger over the years while keeping the same numbers, a habit called vanity sizing. For online orders from abroad, measure your chest, waist and hips with a soft tape and compare them with the brand's chart in centimeters. For shoes, use the Shoe Size Converter.

Frequently Asked Questions

For women's clothing, a UK 12 is a US 8 and an EU 38 in this chart, usually a Medium. UK women's sizes run 4 above US sizes. Brands vary, though, so compare your bust and waist with the brand's own size chart before you buy.
EU 38 is a US 8 and UK 12 for women's tops and bottoms in this chart. EU women's sizes run 30 above US sizes, so EU 36 is a US 6 and EU 40 is a US 10. French sizes often run one size larger than German ones, so check the brand.
Many Asian brands cut for a smaller average build, so the same letter covers a smaller chest or waist. In this chart, a men's US M matches an Asian L. When buying from an Asian retailer, compare your measurements in centimeters with their chart, and size up if you fall between sizes.
