China to EU/US size guide

Chinese sizing runs small, and inconsistently so. An XL from one seller fits like a European L and from the next like an M, because the label follows the domestic market rather than any international standard. Sizing up one step is the usual advice and it is not always enough.

Chinese sizes run 1–2 sizes small — when unsure, size up, and always check the item's own measurements at the agent.

How it works

  1. Measure a garment you already own, flat, in centimetres.
  2. Compare it against the seller's measurement table rather than against the size letter.
  3. Use the charts here to sanity-check the conversion, or enter your measurements for a recommendation.

About this tool

The reliable method is to ignore the letter entirely and work from measurements. Sellers list garment measurements — chest, shoulder, length — flat in centimetres. Measure a piece you already own that fits the way you want, compare the numbers, and pick the size that matches. This page has the conversion charts and will suggest a size from your own measurements.

Common questions

Should I just size up?

One step up is the right starting assumption for clothing, but it is a rule of thumb, not a rule. Measurements beat letters every time, and for anything expensive they are worth the two minutes.

Do shoes run small too?

Less than clothing, but yes, and it varies by silhouette. Measure your foot in centimetres and match it against the insole length the seller lists — that number is far more reliable than the EU or US size printed on the box.

What do the measurements in the listing mean?

They are almost always the garment laid flat, so chest is measured armpit to armpit and doubles for the full circumference. Comparing them against your body measurements rather than against a garment is the usual mistake.
