Understanding US and EU Clothing Sizes
When shopping for activewear and athletic apparel, one of the most important decisions is choosing the right size. If you're familiar with European sizing but ordering from a US-based store, or vice versa, understanding the differences between US and EU sizing standards can save you time and frustration.
Why Sizing Differs Between Markets
The United States and Europe use different measurement systems and sizing conventions. European clothing is typically designed using metric measurements and European fit standards, while US sizing follows imperial measurements with its own fit philosophy. Our factory manufactures clothing using standard European patterns, which means our pieces are cut and proportioned according to European body measurements and style expectations.
Size Conversion Guide
Here's a practical reference for converting between common US and EU sizes:
- Women's Apparel: EU size 32 equals US XS, EU 34 equals US S, EU 36 equals US M, EU 38 equals US L, EU 40 equals US XL, and EU 42 equals US XXL.
- Men's Apparel: EU size 44 equals US XS, EU 46 equals US S, EU 48 equals US M, EU 50 equals US L, EU 52 equals US XL, and EU 54 equals US XXL.
Tips for Finding Your Perfect Fit
Because our clothing follows European sizing standards, we recommend measuring yourself using a soft tape measure. Compare your measurements to our detailed size charts on each product page rather than relying solely on the labeled size number. Pay attention to chest width, shoulder width, and length measurements, as these can vary between European and US-market expectations.
When trying on our activewear sets, remember that European fit tends to be slightly more tailored through the torso compared to standard US cuts. If you typically wear a relaxed fit, you might consider sizing up by one size.
