Guide and Conversion of American Sizes for Tops and Shirts
We’ll start with tops, shirts, sweaters, and coats. Here, you won’t feel too out of place since most brands generally use international sizes such as S, M, L, or XL. However, some brands use numbered sizes in American, UK, Italian, European, or French sizing systems, and that’s where it gets tricky… To help you navigate this, here is a conversion table for American sizes:
