Why clothing sizes are not universal

A complete size calculator built around real measurements instead of guesswork. Enter bust, waist and hip for women's clothing, chest, waist, neck and sleeve for men's suits and shirts, waist and inseam for jeans, height or age for kids, underbust and bust for bras, or foot length and width for shoes, and get your size in every major country at once. Each result explains itself: which measurement drove the size, where you sit in the size's range, whether you're between sizes, and what your body shape or suit drop means for fit. A universal converter covers anyone who already knows one size. Measurements are remembered only in your browser and never uploaded.

A 'size 8' means a different body in almost every country. The same woman can be a US 8, UK 12, EU 40, French 42, Italian 44 and Japanese 11. The numbers are country labels, not measurements, and brands add their own vanity sizing on top. This calculator treats your measurements as the source of truth and maps them onto each country's scale, so you shop by centimetres and inches instead of a number that changes at the border.

Detailed guide

Quick conversion rules (women's clothing)

If you only need a rough answer: UK = US + 4, EU = US + 32, France = US + 34, Italy = US + 36, Japan = US + 3 and Australia = UK. So a US 6 is a UK 10, EU 38, FR 40, IT 42 and JP 9. Men's suit and jacket sizes are simpler: US and UK sizes are the chest in inches, and EU/Italian sizes add 10 (a US 40 is an EU 50). Men's trousers in the EU are the waist in inches + 16 (W32 = EU 48).

When your measurements fall into different sizes

Most people are not one size everywhere. Size by the measurement that needs the most room for the garment: bust for tops, hips (or waist) for skirts and trousers, and the largest of all three for dresses and jumpsuits. Then take in the other areas, or choose stretch fabrics and wrap styles. The calculator does this automatically, tells you which measurement decided the size, and flags when your measurements span two or more sizes.

How bra sizing actually works

A bra size is a band and a cup. In the modern method the band is your underbust in inches, rounded to an even number. Each inch of difference between bust and band adds a cup: 1" = A, 2" = B, 3" = C, 4" = D, 5" = DD (UK) / DD or E (US). UK and US cups split after D (UK DD, E, F, FF, G… vs US DD, DDD, G, H…), while European cups step every 2 cm with single letters. Sister sizes, such as 34C, 32D and 36B, hold the same cup volume on a different band.

Bust − bandUK / AU cupUS cupEU / FR / JP cup
1" (2.5 cm)AAA
2" (5 cm)BBB
3" (7.5 cm)CCC
4" (10 cm)DDD
5" (12.5 cm)DDDD/EE
6" (15 cm)EDDD/FF
7" (18 cm)FGG
8" (20 cm)FFHH

Shoe sizes are based on foot length

Shoe sizes in the US, UK and EU all come from the length of the foot (or the shoe last), but on different scales: US and UK sizes step by a third of an inch, EU (Paris point) sizes by two-thirds of a centimetre, and Japan, Korea and Mondopoint simply use the foot length in centimetres or millimetres. Measure your foot heel to longest toe, late in the day, and use the larger foot. A women's US size is about 1.5 sizes larger than the men's US size for the same foot.

Kids' sizes: use height, not age

European kids' sizes are the child's height in centimetres: a size 116 fits children up to 116 cm tall, typically around six years old. US and UK labels use age, which assumes an average child. Measuring height gives a far better fit, and adding one size gives room to grow for a season.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find my clothing size from my measurements?

Measure your bust (or chest), waist and hips with a soft tape and enter them in the Women or Men mode. The calculator matches each measurement to the size chart, picks the size that fits the measurement needing the most room for the garment you choose, and shows that size in US, UK, EU, French, Italian, Japanese, Australian, Korean and Russian sizing.

How do I convert US clothing sizes to UK and EU?

For women's clothing, UK = US + 4 and EU = US + 32, so a US 8 is a UK 12 and an EU 40. France adds one more EU size (FR 42) and Italy two (IT 44). Men's jackets use the chest in inches in both the US and UK, and the EU size is 10 higher (US 40 = EU 50). The Converter mode shows every equivalent at once.

What size am I if my bust, waist and hips are different sizes?

Choose the size for the measurement that needs the most room: bust for tops, hips or waist for bottoms, and the largest of the three for dresses. Then tailor the rest or pick stretchy or wrap styles. The calculator shows a fit meter for each measurement and warns you when they span two or more sizes.

How do I calculate my bra size at home?

Measure snugly around your ribcage just under the bust (underbust) and loosely around the fullest part (bust). Round the underbust in inches to an even number for the band; each inch of difference between bust and band is one cup size (1" = A, 2" = B, 3" = C, 4" = D). Use the Bra mode to do the rounding, see your size in 7 countries and get sister sizes.

What is a bra sister size?

Sister sizes hold the same cup volume on a different band. When you go down one band size, go up one cup (34C → 32D); when you go up a band, go down a cup (34C → 36B). They help when your band feels too loose or too tight but the cups fit.

How do I convert shoe sizes between US, UK and EU?

Men's UK sizes are about 0.5–1 below US sizes and women's UK sizes about 2–2.5 below US. EU sizes are roughly men's US + 33 and women's US + 31. Japan and Korea use foot length in cm or mm. Measure your foot and use the Shoes mode for an exact chart match, including width.

How do I convert men's shoe sizes to women's?

Add 1.5 to a men's US size to get the women's US size for the same foot (men's 8 ≈ women's 9.5), or subtract 1.5 to go the other way. UK and EU sizes are unisex, so they don't change. The Shoes mode shows the men's or women's equivalent automatically.

What size suit or dress shirt should I buy?

Your suit jacket size is your chest measurement in inches, rounded to the nearest even number, with Short, Regular or Long length chosen by height. Dress shirts are sized by neck (add half an inch to your neck measurement) and sleeve length from the centre back of the neck to the wrist. The Men mode calculates all of them plus your suit drop.

What is my jeans size?

Men's jeans are labelled waist × inseam in inches, such as W32 L32. Women's jeans use either US numeric sizes or a denim waist size, where 27 is about a US 4 and 29 about a US 8. Enter your waist, hips and inseam in the Pants & jeans mode to get both, plus the EU and letter equivalents.

How do I choose kids' clothing sizes?

Go by height rather than age. European kids' sizes are the child's height in centimetres (size 116 fits up to 116 cm). Enter your child's height, or their age if you don't know it, and add the grow-into option for one size up.

Are Japanese and Korean sizes smaller than US sizes?

Yes, Asian sizing generally runs smaller. A Japanese women's 11 is about a US 8, and Japanese men's letter sizes run about one size small, so a US M is often a JP L. Korean women's sizes use 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, where 55 is about a US 2–4.

Is this clothing size calculator free and private?

Yes. It's free with no sign-up, and every calculation runs in your browser. Your measurements are stored only on your own device so they're ready next time, and are never uploaded or shared.
