Size Guide | Baby, Kids, Women, Men, Shoes & Hats
The Right Size
Starts With Measurements.
From babies to adults: check height, chest, waist, hips, foot length and head circumference before choosing.
01 / MEASUREMENTS
How to take measurements
Use a soft measuring tape without pulling it tight. Keep it parallel to the floor. For shoes, measure both feet while standing, ideally towards the end of the day.
Height
From the top of the head to the floor, without shoes; measure babies lying down.
Chest / bust
Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape level.
Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of the waist without holding your breath.
Hips
Measure around the widest part of the hips with feet together.
Inside leg
From the inner thigh down to the ankle or desired hem position.
Foot and head
Foot: heel to longest toe. Hat: head circumference about 2–2.5 cm above the eyebrows.

Junior XS, S, M, L and XL do not necessarily match adult sizes with the same letters.
04 / SIZE GUIDE
Women · petite to plus-size

Shoes · baby to adult sizes
Place the foot on a sheet of paper and mark the heel and longest toe. Measure both feet and use the larger measurement. Conversions are approximate; EU sizing can vary by brand and style.

07 / SIZE GUIDE
Hats, caps and head circumference
Measure the head circumference approximately 2 cm above the eyebrows and just above the ears. Measurements in centimetres matter more than age: fit varies by style.
Hat sizes, head measurements and approximate ages
| Head (cm) | S/M or L/XL size | Approximate age | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| 36–38 | — | 0–3 months | Babies |
| 40–42 | — | 3–6 months | Early childhood |
| 44–46 | — | 6–12 mesi | Baby |
| 48 | — | 1–1.5 years | Toddler |
| 50 | S/M | 1.5–3 years | Young child |
| 52 | S/M | 2–5 years | Child |
| 54 | L/XL | 4–7 years | Child |
| 56 | L/XL | 7–12 years | Junior |
| 58 | — | 12–14 years | Junior / teenager |
| 59–60 | — | Approx. 14–16 years | Teenager / adult |
| 61–62 | — | 16 years and over, where measurements match | Mainly adult |
| 63–64 | — | Adult | Extended sizes, where available |
| 65–66 | — | Adult | Extended sizes, where available |
Combined sizes: S/M approximately corresponds to a circumference of 50–52 cm; L/XL to 54–56 cm. These are guidelines for some junior hats, not a universal conversion. Always check the measurements given for each item.
Ages are approximate. The 59–62 cm range extends the guide to ages 16 and over, but is not based on any official age conversion. Smaller sizes may fit at age 16; choose based on the actual head circumference.
08 / SIZE GUIDE
Accessories, belts, gloves and socks
Accessory sizing varies more than clothing sizing. Always consult the product description and any size chart provided by the manufacturer.
Gloves
Measure around the widest part of the palm, excluding the thumb. Some styles also require hand length from the wrist to the middle finger. XS–XXL sizes are not universally standardised.
Belts
Measure your waist where you plan to wear the belt. A size 85, 95 or 105 may indicate the distance from the buckle to the middle hole rather than the full belt length.
Socks
Choose based on the EU shoe sizes shown on the label, such as 23–26, 27–30, 35–38, 39–42 or 43–46. Size ranges vary between brands.
Jeans W / L
W normally indicates waist size in inches, while L refers to inside-leg length in inches. The number may differ from the garment's actual waist circumference due to fit and rise.
Jeans · mathematical W-to-cm conversion only
| W (inches) | Nominal equivalent (cm) |
|---|---|
| W24 | 61,0 |
| W25 | 63,5 |
| W26 | 66,0 |
| W27 | 68,6 |
| W28 | 71,1 |
| W29 | 73,7 |
| W30 | 76,2 |
| W31 | 78,7 |
| W32 | 81,3 |

| W44 | 111,8 |
| W46 | 116,8 |
| W48 | 121,9 |
| W50 | 127,0 |
This is only the conversion of 1 inch = 2.54 cm, not a guarantee of the garment's actual measurements.
09 / TIPS
If you're between sizes
Slim fit
Consider the smaller size only if your other body measurements also fall within its range.
Relaxed fit
The larger size may be better for non-stretch fabrics, oversized styles or greater freedom of movement.
Babies and children
Height and actual measurements are more useful than age alone. Do not choose shoes or hats based solely on age.
Important note: These measurements are approximate and have been compiled and organised to help you choose. For specialist items, unusual brand fits and technical clothing, always prioritise the manufacturer's guidance.
