Guide and correspondence of American sizes for tops and shirts
Let’s start with tops, shirts, sweaters, and coats – here you won’t be too confused because most brands generally use international sizes, such as S, M, L, or XL. However, some brands use numbered sizes in American, English, Italian, European, or French sizes, and that’s where it gets complicated… To help you navigate, here is a conversion table for American sizes:

Correspondence of American sizes for men’s clothing
For men, it’s simpler because American and English numbered sizes agree:

Guide and correspondence of American sizes for bottoms and pants
For jeans and pants, it’s a different story – American sizes are clearly distinct from European sizes… For example, if you wear a size 38 in French jeans, you will wear a size 28 in US jeans, you just need to subtract 10 from your usual size! Easy, right?
