Scenario: You wear a US women's size 8 and want to buy clothing from a European brand.
Note: European sizes are typically 2 sizes larger than US women's sizes. However, European fit is often more fitted, so the actual garment may feel similar in size.
Example 2: UK to US Conversion
Scenario: You wear a UK size 12 and need to find your US equivalent.
Note: UK sizes are typically 2 sizes larger than US women's sizes. For men's clothing, the difference is usually 1 size (UK 40 = US 40).

A Note on Sizing Standards
Global clothing sizes are not fully standardized, which can lead to confusion. The data used in our converter is cross-referenced with established standards like EN 13402 and common brand practices to provide a reliable conversion.
However, sizes can still vary between brands due to different fit models and "vanity sizing". For detailed information, we recommend consulting the official standards body, the ISO/TC 133 committee, which is responsible for the global ISO 8559 clothing size standards.
