Understanding Sizes

US vs UK Clothing: UK sizes are typically 2 sizes smaller than US for women (US 8 = UK 12), same numbers for men
EU Sizes: Based on centimeters and body measurements, more consistent across brands than US/UK letter sizes
Asian Sizes: Generally run 1-2 sizes smaller than US/EU equivalents, especially for tops and outerwear
Shoe Size Systems: US women's shoes are 1.5 sizes larger than UK, men's are 0.5 larger. Asian uses cm foot length
Plus Sizes: Extended sizes (XXL, XXXL, 4XL, 5XL) follow same regional patterns but with wider measurement ranges

Tips & Strategies

Brand Variations: Always check individual brand size charts as fits can vary significantly between manufacturers
Shoe Shopping: Measure feet in evening when they're naturally swollen, and measure both feet as one may be larger
Between Sizes: Size up for comfort, especially for online international purchases where returns may be difficult
Customer Reviews: Read reviews about fit before purchasing from international sites, especially for Asian brands
Material Matters: Stretchy fabrics (cotton blends) allow smaller sizes, while stiff materials (denim) require larger sizes
Return Policy: Check return/exchange policies before buying from international sites, especially for shoes and fitted items
Size Inflation: Clothing sizes have gotten larger over time (vanity sizing), so vintage or designer items may fit smaller

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do clothing sizes vary between countries?

Different countries developed sizing standards based on their population's average body measurements and cultural preferences, leading to significant variations.

Are Asian sizes really smaller than Western sizes?

What should I do if I'm between sizes?

How accurate are online size converters?

Size converters provide general guidelines based on standard measurements, but brands vary. Always check specific brand size charts and customer reviews for best results.

Children's sizes vary even more between countries due to different growth patterns and age groupings. Always check age ranges and measurements when buying internationally.

What about plus sizes (4XL, 5XL)?
