Clothing Size Chart Converter

Our clothing size chart converter covers:

• Women’s clothing sizes (dresses, tops, pants)
• Men’s clothing sizes (shirts, pants, suits)
• Children’s clothing sizes (by age and measurements)

Women’s Size Chart Conversion Table

US sizes typically run 2-4 sizes smaller than European sizes. For example, a US size 6 is approximately a UK size 10 and an EU size 38. Use our converter to find your perfect fit in any country’s sizing system. Need to convert other measurements? Try our Unit Converter for simple metric and imperial conversions.

For more information on international women’s sizing, check out ISO’s clothing size standards, which attempt to create universal sizing references.

Men’s Size Chart Conversion

Men’s sizes can be particularly confusing as they often use different measurement systems (inches vs. centimeters) and have varying standards for what constitutes a “Medium” or “Large” across countries. The International Apparel Federation provides comprehensive guidelines on global sizing standards.

Shoe Size Chart Converter

Our shoe size chart converter is especially valuable as footwear sizing varies dramatically between countries. For example:

• A US women’s size 8 = UK size 6 = EU size 39
• A US men’s size 10 = UK size 9.5 = EU size 44

According to World Footwear’s annual report, inconsistent shoe sizing is one of the top reasons for footwear returns in e-commerce.

Children’s Shoe Size Conversion

Children’s shoes need extra attention as their sizing systems vary not just by country but also by age. Our converter accounts for growth patterns and international standards. Parents may also find our Age Calculator helpful for tracking developmental stages.
