Velikosti oblečení v Turecku: převod velikostí USA, EU a UK

Buying clothes from Turkey sounds easy—until your usual size suddenly feels off. Turkish sizing looks familiar on paper, but in practice it runs tighter, varies by brand, and leaves little room for guesswork. If you shop Turkish brands online or travel to Turkey, this guide saves you from costly returns and wardrobe regrets.

We’ll break down how Turkish clothing sizes really work, how they compare to US, EU, and UK systems, and what experienced shoppers do differently to get the fit right the first time.

About clothing sizes in Turkey

Turkey does not have a single national sizing standard. Most brands follow EU-style numbering, but measurements, cuts, and tolerances vary by retailer. That’s why two size 38 dresses from different Turkish brands can fit completely differently.

Street-smart advice: always shop by measurements, not labels. Turkish brands expect customers to check chest, waist, and hip measurements before buying—especially online.

Alphabetical clothing sizes in Turkey (S–M–L)

Letter sizes (XS–XL) in Turkey compress multiple numeric sizes into one label. This system is common for casualwear like T‑shirts, hoodies, and sweatpants.

Reality check: Turkish letter sizing is less forgiving than US or UK sizing. There’s no vanity sizing, and stretch allowance is limited.

Hidden gem tip: If you’re between sizes by even 1–2 cm, size up. Locals do the same, especially for fitted tops and trousers.

Traditional tailoring in Turkey still relies on actual body measurements (chest for men, bust for women), which explains why modern ready‑to‑wear keeps this precision mindset.

Men’s clothing sizes

Men’s Turkish sizing aligns closely with EU measurements, but jackets, shirts, and suits are cut slimmer through the waist and shoulders.

Insider tip: If you lift weights or have broad shoulders, size up in blazers and button‑downs—even if the waist feels generous.
