How to convert European Clothing Sizes
Navigating the labyrinth of clothing sizes can feel like a grand European tour in itself. Your cozy size 38 sweater from Germany may feel like a straitjacket when swapped for an Italian version. In Italy, you’d have to subtract three from your usual size for the perfect fit. Meanwhile, a short hop across the border to France, and only one size down is needed.
Men encounter similar oddities. A German man who comfortably wears a size 48 would need to size up to a 54 in Italy, or a 50 in France.
Clothing sizes typically follow a basic formula: chest circumference divided by two in centimeters. Women’s sizes take this one step further, subtracting six from this value. To illustrate: a man with an 88 cm chest would be a size 44 (88 cm / 2 cm), while a woman with the same measurement would wear a size 38 (88 cm / 2 cm – 6 = 38). But beware! As these guidelines aren’t strictly followed, sizes can vary wildly from brand to brand.
Feeling lost? Look out for International standard sizes, ranging from XS to XXXL. These are increasingly used alongside domestic sizes by many manufacturers. But remember, whether you’re shopping at home or abroad, clothing sizes are never foolproof and should only serve as a guide. Trying on for size is still the best way to ensure a perfect fit.
