American to European Size Conversion: Your Guide to US to EU Clothing Sizes

Looking to buy American clothing from popular US stores like Levi’s, GAP, or Nike—but not sure what size to order? You’re not alone. One of the biggest challenges international shoppers face is figuring out how American sizes translate to European sizes.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through US to European clothing size conversions for men, women, and children. Plus, we’ll introduce the free MyUS Clothing Size Conversion Chart, your go-to resource for navigating international sizing for clothing and shoes from the US.

🔁 Why Convert US Sizes to European Sizes?

Clothing sizes are not standardized globally. What’s considered a size 6 in the United States may be a size 36 in Europe, an 8 in the UK, or a 10 in Australia. That’s why it's essential to know how to convert American sizes to European sizes accurately—especially when shopping online from international retailers.

👚 US to EU Women’s Clothing Size Conversion

Women’s sizes in the US are typically smaller by 4-6 sizes compared to European women’s sizes.

Size Conversion Example (Women’s Clothing):

US 4 = EU 34

US 6 = EU 36

US 8 = EU 38

US 10 = EU 40

When in doubt, always check your bust, waist, and hip measurements in centimeters for the most accurate fit.

👖 US to EU Men’s Clothing Size Conversion

Men’s sizing can be especially tricky when converting between countries. For US to EU men’s pants sizes, add 16 to your US waist size.

Size Conversion Example (Men’s Pants):

US 30 = EU 46

US 32 = EU 48

US 34 = EU 50

For shirts and jackets, many EU brands use chest measurements in centimeters. A US size Medium, for example, might correspond to an EU size 50 or 52.

👟 US to EU Shoe Size Conversion (Men & Women)

Shoe sizing can vary even more than apparel—especially between US and European sizing charts. Here’s a quick reference:

Women’s US to EU Shoe Sizes:

US 6 = EU 36–37

US 8 = EU 38–39

US 10 = EU 40–41

Men’s US to EU Shoe Sizes:

US 8 = EU 41

US 10 = EU 43–44

US 12 = EU 46

✅ Tip: For accurate sizing, refer to brand-specific shoe charts and measure in centimeters whenever possible.
