Correspondences and equivalences of sizes (French, English, American) by type of clothing

Correspondances et équivalences des tailles (Françaises, Anglaises, Américaines) par type de vêtement
How a song reconciled me with the cardigan – Carte Blanche to Nawal Reading Correspondences and equivalences of sizes (French, English, American) by type of clothing Next How to choose your belt size?

All sizes are not based on the same units of measurement: it is important to know the equivalences to be able to choose when buying online.

This is the purpose of this page : you will find the different sizes depending on the clothes and, above all, the countries.

They can of course vary depending on the brand, so it will always be better to contact customer service if you are not sure of your choice.

SHIRT MATCHING CHARTS

The tables below indicate the standard sizes of shirts according to the different measurements (by studying it a little, you will notice that the differences are not obvious for this garment).

PANTS/JEAN MATCHING CHARTS

The waist measurement determines the size of jeans or pants in ready-to-wear (you can see how to measure it on our page dedicated to pants).

Please note : American size is written WL. The W stands for "width" , the L stands for "length" .

Since Americans are the only ones to indicate this size, there is no conversion table indicating this length.

For US sizes, here is a chart for the "L" measurement included in US sizes.

Don't worry, the length is very easy to alter and, at worst, a hem or two will often do the trick.

SHOE SIZE CHARTS AND CORRESPONDENCES BY COUNTRY

Equipped with this table and your foot length in cm , you will be able to know what size shoes to choose, whatever the measurement used (if this is not indicated on the site, do not hesitate to send an email to the site ).

BLAZER SIZE CHARTS AND MATCHING BY COUNTRY

The table below will help you know which size blazer to choose.

However, as the blazer is a piece that changes a lot depending on the brand, we advise you to take the measures below to be able to inform the customer service of the e-shop in question. This way, they will be able to guide you in your choice.

SIZE CHARTS FOR SWEATERS/CARDIGANS AND CORRESPONDENCE BY COUNTRY

Just like for the blazer, I advise you to take the two measurements indicated in the table , either on a sweater that suits you, or directly on your body.

Then, inform the e-shop from which you wish to order to find out what they advise you to choose.

Note: the second table only shows the “chest circumference” measurement. In fact, the length of the sweater does not change from one country to another for this type of clothing but rather from one brand to another.
