GET AN ACCURATE
MEASUREMENT

Always measure standing straight, breathing normally. Use a soft tape measure and keep it parallel to the floor. Record all measurements in inches, then match against the tables below.

01

Chest / Bust

Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust or chest, keeping it level and parallel to the floor.

02

Waist

Measure at the narrowest point of your torso — usually just above the belly button. Keep the tape snug, not tight.

03

Hips

Stand with feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.

04

Neck & Sleeve (Men)

For dress shirts: measure neck circumference and sleeve length from shoulder seam to wrist.

Between Sizes

When in Doubt, Size Up

If your measurements fall between two sizes, go larger for a relaxed fit — or smaller if you prefer a snug, tailored look.

EU / UK Conversion

International Sizes

US is ~2 sizes smaller than UK (UK 12 ≈ US 8). EU runs 4–6 higher (EU 38 ≈ US 8). Always verify with the measurement tables.

Re-Measure

Update Measurements Regularly

Body shape changes over time. Re-measure every 6–12 months or whenever your clothes start fitting differently.

US CLOTHING SIZE
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A US clothing size chart is a reference table that correlates body measurements (chest, waist, hips) to standard US sizes (0, 2, 4… or S, M, L). It helps you choose the right size without trying items on first.
Wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your bust or chest, keeping it parallel to the floor. Record the measurement in inches and match it to the chest size chart in the US size guide above.
Measure your waist at the narrowest point of your torso, usually just above the belly button. Keep the tape snug but not tight. Use this number against the waist size chart above to find your US size.
For women's tops, a 36″ chest typically corresponds to a US size 8–10 (M). For men's dress shirts, a 36″ chest often equates to a 14–14.5″ neck shirt (S). Always cross-reference your exact measurement in the tables above.
A 38″ chest measurement for women generally maps to US size 10–12 (L). For men, a 38–40″ chest aligns with a M in casual shirts or a 15.5–16″ neck in dress shirts.
US sizes are typically 2 sizes smaller than UK sizes (UK 12 ≈ US 8). EU sizes run about 4–6 sizes higher (EU 38 ≈ US 8). Always consult a conversion chart when ordering from international brands.
In US sizing, M (Medium) usually corresponds to chest measurements of 36–37″ for women and 39.75″ for men's casual shirts. Always verify with the specific measurement table for the garment type.
If your measurements fall between two US sizes, choose the larger size for a relaxed fit or the smaller size for a snug fit. Consider the garment's stretch fabric and your preferred style.
Not always. US sizing standards can vary slightly by brand and style. Always check the specific brand's US size chart and customer reviews for notes on whether a style runs small, large, or true to size.
Body measurements can change over time. It's best to re-measure every 6–12 months or whenever you notice a change in how your clothes fit.
