Size guide

US clothing and shoe sizes

US sizes next to Russian and European ones, with body measurements in centimeters. Switch to inches and compare with any US store's chart without a calculator.

Sizing varies by brand: use our charts as a reference and double-check the seller's chart before you order.

Clothing

Dresses, tops and outerwear. Chest is the measurement that matters most.

US letter sizes (S, M, L) usually run a size bigger than you're used to: if you wear M, look at S in a US store.

Some brands (Hollister, Abercrombie) use junior sizing with odd numbers 1, 3, 5… It's cut for a height of 162–172 cm and includes 00 and 0 for very slim builds. If you wear 8, a 7 will most likely fit.

How to measure

Three measurements that decide everything

Measure over your underwear with the tape snug against the body but not tight. For kids' clothing, height and weight are enough.

  1. 1

    Chest

    Around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

  2. 2

    Waist

    Around the narrowest part, usually just above the navel. Don't pull your stomach in.

  3. 3

    Hips

    Around the fullest part of your hips and seat, feet together.

  4. 4

    Inseam

    From the crotch to the floor along the inside of the leg. That's the L in a jeans size.

  5. 5

    Foot length

    Stand on a sheet of paper, trace your foot and measure from the heel to the tip of the big toe.
