Shopping internationally has never been more popular, but figuring out the right clothing size across different systems can be a real headache. Our free Clothing Size Converter instantly translates sizes between EU, US, and UK standards for women, men, and shoes โ no more guesswork, no more expensive returns.
Clothing size systems evolved independently in different countries, based on varying body measurement standards and manufacturing traditions. A EU size 40 for women is not the same as a US size 40 โ in fact, it corresponds to a US size 10 and a UK size 14. This disconnect causes confusion for millions of online shoppers every day.
The problem is compounded by the fact that even within a single country, brands may size their garments slightly differently. However, standardized conversion tables provide an excellent starting point that dramatically reduces the risk of ordering the wrong size.
Using our tool is straightforward:
Results appear in real time, making it perfect whether you're browsing an American fashion website, ordering from a British retailer, or shopping on a European platform. No registration required.
Women's sizing is one of the most inconsistent areas in fashion. European sizes for women typically start at EU 32 (XS) and go upward in increments of 2. US sizes begin at 0 or 2, while UK sizes run 26 below German sizes and US sizes 30 below.
Real-world example: A woman who wears a size 38 in Germany is shopping on an American website. Our converter immediately tells her she should be looking for US size 8 and would wear a UK size 12 in British stores.
Men's sizing works differently depending on the garment type. Dress shirts are sized by collar circumference โ centimetres in EU, inches in US/UK. Trousers are measured by waist and inseam length, with American jeans typically labelled in inches.
Example: A man with a EU collar size 41cm needs a US/UK collar size of 16 inches. Our converter does not convert collar sizes; for men it shows the EU size together with the US/UK size, letter size, jeans waist and chest circumference.
Shoe sizing is arguably the trickiest area of all. Not only do EU, US, and UK systems differ, but within the US system, women's and men's shoe sizes are calibrated differently. A EU shoe size 38 equals a women's US 7.5 and a UK 5, yet the same EU size maps differently for men.
If you're hunting for the latest sneaker release on an international website, always convert your shoe size first. Our tool accounts for gender-specific differences automatically, saving you time and money.
