UK size converter: clothes and shoes
Bought something with an EU or US size on the label, or listing it for buyers who think in UK sizes? Pick the type of item and the size you have, and see the UK, EU and US equivalents.
Sizes are a guide. Brands cut differently, especially shoes, letter sizes and vintage. When you're listing, give the label size and the UK equivalent, and add measurements: they answer "will it fit?" better than any chart.
