About Germany clothes size charts

Modern ready-to-wear apparel requires an understanding of German clothing sizing. This size is determined by the wearer’s physical dimensions as well as a comfort allowance for their particular size.

Men and women have various sizing systems. Some European nations do not use the EU size standard, hence there is a significant size disparity between European and American sizes. Bras, headgear, shoes (for women), gloves (for males), and shirts come in a variety of sizes (for men).

European sizesare based on the body measurements of the average person. The most common system is to measure from the top of the shoulder to the bottom of the waist. The measurement is rounded up or down depending on whether it falls within the range of the given size.

İnternational sizes are based on the chest circumference of the average man or woman. For example, if you wear a 42 inch shirt, then your international size would be 44 inches.
