Pro tip: <\/em><\/strong>Keep it in your phone so you always have it handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n U.S. sizes for women’s clothing are low numbers, starting in the single digits (e.g., 4, 6, 8). European sizes are a series of double-digit numbers (e.g., 36, 38, 40).<\/p>\n\n\n\n While size conversion charts can help<\/em> you translate from U.S. to European sizes and vice versa, the translations aren’t 100% reliable. Different sizing standards and measurements are the culprits here. Always consider size translations guides rather than hard-and-fast rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To convert from U.S. to European clothing sizes informally, add 30 to the American size. For example, a U.S. size 4 generally corresponds to a European size 34.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, this conversion can vary by brand and by type of clothing. In other words, a U.S. size 6 could range from a European size 36 to 38.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another factor is that European sizes tend to run smaller than their U.S. counterparts. Therefore, it’s helpful to make a habit of checking specific sizing guides provided by the brand or retailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
