Clothing Size Converter
Choose men's or women's, tops or bottoms, and a size from XS to XXL, and this tool shows the equivalent US, UK, and EU size ranges as a general sizing reference.
How It Works
This tool looks up your chosen international letter size (XS through XXL) in a general reference table and shows the roughly equivalent US, UK, and EU size ranges for that category of garment.
Clothing sizing varies significantly by brand. This is a general reference guide, not a brand-specific size chart.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there one universal clothing size standard?
No. Clothing sizing varies significantly by brand, country, and even by garment cut within the same brand. This chart is a general reference guide, not a brand-specific size chart.
Why do men's and women's size charts look so different?
Men's clothing is often sized by body measurements in inches (like chest or waist size), while women's clothing commonly uses a separate numbered scale. Both are mapped to the same XS to XXL letter sizes here for easy comparison.
Should I size up or down between brands?
If a brand runs small or large, check that brand's own size chart and customer reviews when available. This general chart is a helpful starting point, not a guarantee of fit for any specific label.
Do bottoms and tops use the same size scale?
They are shown on the same XS to XXL scale here for simplicity, but a person's top size and bottom size do not always match, since body proportions vary.
