sizes in Europe

Les tailles et pointures en Europe

As you probably noticed on labels in some shops, not every country uses the same system for clothing sizes.

Sizes

a bit of a nightmare

Therefore, if you buy clothing in Europe, pay attention to the sizes! Kids also have their own system - and toddelrs as well.

You can easily find converstion tables online, but it's always better to try on clothes before buying - we are a lot less nice when it comes to returns (strict shorter deadlines, and with label and receipts, no exceptions).

​Europe has its own system, although Italy, the UK, and scandinavian countries are doing their own individual thing.

We have S, M, L, XL etc, but the rumor says that a European S is a USA M.

Europe

In Europe, all sizes (adults) go from 32 or 34 to 46 or 48. Above 48 would be a plus size - unfortunately harder to come by in Europe.

​We use the same size for tops and bottoms.

no TOps vs bottoms

As we use different measuring systems*, shoe sizes have different numbers too.

Here is a conversion table.

*The US shoe sizes are based off of barleycorns, which are roughly 1/3 of an inch (around 8.47mm). European shoe sizes rely on Paris points, which equate to 2/3 of a centimeter (or 6.67mm).
