What is Italian sizing compared to US sizing?Updated 3 days ago

Italian sizing generally differs from US sizing, but there is no universal conversion that applies perfectly to every brand or product.

For example, an Italian women's clothing size 40 is often approximately equivalent to a US 4, but the actual fit can vary depending on the designer, collection and style.

Common size conversions

Size conversions are provided as a general reference only. Always check the Size Guide on the individual product page before ordering, as the sizing information available for a particular item may differ from standard conversion charts.

Italian, French, US and UK sizing systems are not directly interchangeable, and different brands may use their own sizing conventions.

Why the same size can fit differently

A size number alone does not determine how an item will fit. The fit can also depend on:

• The brand's sizing system
• The garment's cut and construction
• Whether the item is slim, regular, relaxed or oversized
• The fabric or material and its structure
• The intended silhouette of the design
• Whether the product is designed for men, women or unisex wear

For this reason, we recommend using the size conversion as a starting point rather than a guarantee of fit.
