Convert clothing sizes across US, UK, EU, JP, AU, and KR for women’s tops, dresses, pants, skirts, men’s shirts (chest size), suits (chest size + drop), jeans (waist x inseam), and shoes. Same body, four-five different size labels depending on country and category. US 8 = UK 12 = EU 40 = JP 13 only holds for women’s tops; pants and dresses have separate tables, men’s shirts use chest measurement, and Japanese sizing has completely different conventions for both men and women.
Why size conversion is messy: there’s no global standardization body. Each country uses its own historical system, and brands within a country apply “vanity sizing” inconsistently. American Eagle’s size 8 is closer to Banana Republic’s size 6 in actual hip measurement; Japanese sizing typically runs about 1-2 US sizes smaller (US 8 maps to JP 11 in some brands, JP 13 in others). UK sizes converted via “subtract 4” rule (US 8 = UK 12 = US +4) work for tops but not for pants — UK pants sizes follow a completely different inseam/waist convention (UK 30R = US 30R for waist but inseam labels differ). Always cross-check the brand-specific size chart, not just the country conversion.
Practical buying tips: (1) For online international shopping, pull out a tape measure and compare your actual body measurements to the brand’s size chart. Country conversions are a starting point; brand specifics matter more. (2) Japanese and Korean fast fashion brands (Uniqlo, Muji, MIXXMIX) tend to run 1-2 sizes smaller than equivalent US brands — size up. (3) Italian and French luxury brands (Prada, Chanel, Dior) often run small — consider US 0 = EU 32-34 in those brands, vs the standard US 0 = EU 32 for fast fashion. (4) US plus-size (14W, 16W, 18W) doesn’t convert cleanly to UK or EU — those countries handle plus sizes differently with extended ranges or specialty lines. (5) Men’s suits use chest size + drop (drop = chest minus waist; standard is 6, athletic is 8). A 42 regular = 42R = 42" chest, regular drop. UK and EU use chest size in cm or inches but the drop convention is the same.
Nasıl Kullanılır
- Pick gender (men's, women's, kids') and category (tops, dresses, pants, skirts, jeans, suits, shoes).
- Enter your known size: e.g., US 8, UK 12, EU 40, JP 13.
- Pick the country whose size you entered. Tool returns equivalent sizes in all other supported countries.
- Cross-check the result against the specific brand's size chart. Country conversion is a starting point; brand variation can be 1-2 sizes either direction.
- If shopping luxury or designer: consider sizing up one. If shopping Asian fast fashion: consider sizing up one. If shopping US athletic brands: consider sizing down (vanity sizing is most aggressive in US athletic apparel).
- When in doubt, take body measurements (bust, waist, hip, inseam) and pick the size whose range your measurements fall within according to the brand's own chart.
Ne Zaman Kullanılır
- Online shopping international brands — knowing JP / EU / UK sizes lets you order with confidence rather than guessing.
- Traveling and shopping abroad — quickly translating local size labels saves dressing-room cycles.
- Buying gifts internationally — sizes for friends in other countries are easier with a quick lookup.
- Switching between brands across countries — your usual US size in a UK brand might surprise you.
Ne Zaman Kullanılmaz
- Custom-tailored or bespoke clothing — those use direct body measurements, not country sizes.
- Children's clothing across continents — sizing for kids varies even more wildly than adult, with separate conventions for infant/toddler/youth/junior across each country.
- Athletic gear with size-specific designs (compression wear, cycling kit) — those have brand- and category-specific tables you should reference directly.
- When the brand offers fitness-by-size advice (Lululemon's 'fits true to size,' Madewell's 'runs small') — trust the brand's guidance over generic conversion.

Sık Sorulan Sorular
Why is US 8 sometimes UK 10 and sometimes UK 12?
Two different conversions for two different categories. For women's TOPS: US 8 = UK 12 (subtract 4 for UK→US, or add 4 for US→UK). For women's DRESSES and PANTS: US 8 = UK 10 (different historical convention). The standard 'subtract 4' rule applies to tops only. Always check the category. UK luxury brands sometimes use the dress-and-pants convention even for tops, adding to the confusion.
How does Japanese sizing work?
Japanese clothing uses S/M/L/LL or numerical sizes (7, 9, 11, 13, 15) for women, and chest measurement in cm for men. Numerical sizes don't map cleanly: JP 9 ≈ US 4-6, JP 11 ≈ US 6-8, JP 13 ≈ US 8-10, JP 15 ≈ US 10-12. Japanese brands typically design for a smaller average body, so running larger than expected. For Uniqlo (the most accessible Japanese global brand): their sizes mostly follow Western conventions, but their 'M' is closer to Western 'S' for many items. Size up one for safety when ordering Japanese fast fashion sight-unseen.
What's vanity sizing and how does it affect conversions?
Vanity sizing = brands gradually labeling larger garments with smaller numbers to make customers feel good. A 1980s 'size 8' had ~26" waist; a 2020s 'size 8' has ~30" waist at most US brands. American Eagle, Banana Republic, J.Crew, Old Navy all run somewhat large vs the official ASTM size standard. Brands like Madewell, Aritzia, and Reformation hold closer to true-to-size. Athletic and athleisure brands (Lululemon, Athleta) run smallest. International brands often follow their own country's standard without much vanity sizing, so a US 'size 8' shopper might be a UK 'size 10' (their 12 in conversion) at a UK brand.
How do I know if a brand 'runs small' or 'runs large'?
Read recent reviews on the product page — 'fits true to size,' 'runs small,' 'runs large' is one of the most-mentioned attributes. Sephora, Nordstrom, Asos, Net-a-Porter aggregate fit reviews well. For brands without good review data: Asian-origin brands (Uniqlo, Korean fast fashion, Japanese brands) typically run small; US athletic and athleisure brands run small (designed for fit); European luxury (Prada, Chanel, Hermès) runs small or true; American mid-market (Banana Republic, J.Crew, Macy's house brands) runs large. Athletic brands with '-fit' descriptors (slim-fit, regular-fit, relaxed-fit) follow their explicit guidance over generic country conversion.
What about plus-size conversion?
US plus sizes (14W, 16W, 18W, 20W, 22W) don't convert cleanly to UK or EU. UK uses an extended range that mirrors regular sizing (UK 18, UK 20, UK 22). EU plus sizes use 44, 46, 48, 50. Approximate equivalents: US 14W ≈ UK 18 ≈ EU 44; US 18W ≈ UK 22 ≈ EU 48. Plus-size shoppers internationally face fewer brands and inconsistent conversions; specialty plus-size retailers (Eloquii, Lane Bryant in the US; Yours, Evans, Marina Rinaldi in UK/EU) are usually safer than generic brands' extended sizing.
How do men's suit sizes work internationally?
Men's suit chest sizes use numerical labels: US 42R = 42-inch chest, regular drop (6-inch difference between chest and waist; jacket waist is 36). UK uses the same chest measurement (42-inch chest = UK 42). EU uses chest in cm: 42-inch ≈ EU 52. Drop variations: 6 = regular, 8 = athletic, 10 = ultra-athletic, 4 = portly. So '42R' = 42 chest 36 waist; '42L' = 42 chest 36 waist with longer jacket length; '42S' = 42 chest 36 waist with shorter length. Inseam for trousers is separate (28-inch through 36-inch in 2-inch increments). Most international suit conversions are simpler than women's because the chest-measurement convention is consistent globally.
