Turkish Size Chart: Convert Turkey Sizes to UK, US, EU

For women’s clothing, a Turkish size is the French and European size. At LC Waikiki, a Turkish 38 is an EU 38, a UK 10, a US 6 and an IT 42, so if you know your UK, US or IT size, read that column of the first table to find your Turkish size.

The same number does not mean the same measurements at every brand: across LC Waikiki, Koton and DeFacto, the bust for a size 34 to 42 varies by 2 to 6 cm and the waist by 4 to 6 cm. Before ordering, compare your measurements in cm with the seller’s chart rather than the number or the letter.

A 32 does not mean the same thing everywhere. On a top or dress it is a Turkish size 32 (XXS, UK 4, US 0). On jeans it is a waist number, which differs from the Turkish size: see the jeans tables.

LC Waikiki’s conversion table: the Turkish, French and EU sizes are the same number (EU column); UK, US and IT are the pairings it prints.

LC Waikiki’s letters and bust, one value per size; the retailer does not say whether these are body or garment measurements. Inches are cm divided by 2.54.

LC Waikiki’s waist and hips, in cm and inches.

At DeFacto and Koton, the letters are the same from 34 (XS) to 42 (XL). At Mavi they are one step higher: XS is a 36. The next table sets three brands side by side for sizes 34 to 44.

Turkey	LC Waikiki (cm)	Koton (cm)	DeFacto (cm)
34	78 / 66 / 86	76–80 / 60–64 / 86–90	80–82 / 62–64 / 90

44	106 / 90 / 114	–	106–108 / 88–90 / 116

Bust / waist / hips in cm. Koton gives only weights from size 44; DeFacto’s figures come from a copy of its chart published on a third-party site.

Women’s jeans

Jeans are not numbered like tops. At DeFacto, the jeans number is the Turkish size minus 10 (a jeans 32 is a Turkish 42). At Mavi, the number is close to the waist in inches. For jeans, go by your waist in cm rather than the number.

Turkey	Turkey (jeans)	Waist (cm)	Waist (in)	Hips (cm)	Hips (in)
32	22	58–60	22.8–23.6	86	33.9

50	40	109–111	42.9–43.7	137	53.9

DeFacto women’s jeans, from a copy of its chart published on a third-party site; the first column is the Turkish size, the second the number printed on the jeans.

Mavi number	Waist (cm)	Waist (in)	Hips (cm)	Hips (in)

Mavi women’s jeans: figures read from an image of Mavi’s PDF chart, so approximate. The Mavi number is not a Turkish size: do not match it to an LC Waikiki or DeFacto size.

Men’s clothing sizes

Men’s tops

Read the row for your Turkish size or letter. The second table gives the chest and waist, the third the collar (neck).

58	3XL	58	46
60	4XL	60	48
62	5XL	62	–

LC Waikiki’s men’s conversion table: the Turkish size is the EU size, and the US size is the Turkish size minus 12, roughly the chest in inches. LC Waikiki prints no US size for 62.

Turkey	Chest (cm)	Chest (in)	Waist (cm)	Waist (in)
46	86	33.9	83	32.7
48	92	36.2	88	34.6

60	134	52.8	128	50.4
62	142	55.9	136	53.5

LC Waikiki’s chest and waist, one value per size; the retailer does not say whether these are body or garment measurements.

Turkey	Collar (cm)	Collar (in)
46	35–36	13.8–14.2
48	37–38	14.6–15.0
50	39–40	15.4–15.7
52	41–42	16.1–16.5
54	43–44	16.9–17.3
56	45–46	17.7–18.1
58	47–48	18.5–18.9
60	49–50	19.3–19.7
62	50–51	19.7–20.1

LC Waikiki’s collar (neck) size, in cm and inches.

At LC Waikiki, Koton and DeFacto, an L is a 52, an XL a 54 and a 2XL a 56. For an S, the chest stays between 91 and 96 cm across brands, but the waist runs from 74 cm at Mavi to 88 cm at LC Waikiki: compare both measurements with the seller’s chart.

Men’s jeans

At Mavi, men’s jeans are chosen by W (waist in inches) and L (length). An L30 is 76 cm, an L32 81 cm, an L34 86 cm and an L36 91 cm, so a W32/L32 has a waist of 81 cm and a length of 81 cm.

Mavi (W)	Waist (cm)	Waist (in)
W28	71	28
W29	74	29
W30	76	30
W31	79	31
W32	81	32
W33	84	33
W34	86	34

Mavi men’s jeans: W29 to W34 were read from an image of Mavi’s PDF chart, so they are approximate. W28 comes from a third-party copy of the chart; W36 and above are left out because there are no checked values.

Children’s clothing sizes

At Turkish stores, a child’s size is their height in cm; age is only a guide. Choose the size that matches your child’s height. The second table gives the chest and waist.

Turkey	Age	Height (cm)	Height (in)
98	2–3 years	98	38.6
104	3–4 years	104	40.9
110	4–5 years	110	43.3
116	5–6 years	116	45.7
122	6–7 years	122	48.0
128	7–8 years	128	50.4
134	8–9 years	134	52.8
140	9–10 years	140	55.1
146	10–11 years	146	57.5
152	11–12 years	152	59.8
156	12–13 years (girls)	156	61.4
158	12–13 years (boys)	158	62.2
160	13–14 years (girls)	160	63.0
164	13–14 years (boys)	164	64.6
170	14 years and over	170	66.9

Heights from LC Waikiki: its children’s chart starts at 3–4 years, and the 98 row (2–3 years) is the last row of its baby chart (24–36 months). Girls and boys have the same height up to 152 cm. Size 170 (14 years and over) is DeFacto’s, from a copy of its chart published on a third-party site.

Turkey	Chest (cm)	Chest (in)	Waist (cm)	Waist (in)

164	86	33.9	73	28.7
170	84–89	33.1–35.0	69–75	27.2–29.5

LC Waikiki’s chest and waist, rounded to the cm; where girls and boys differ, the range covering both. No measurements for size 98. For 170, DeFacto’s girls-to-boys range.

At LC Waikiki, girls’ sizes stop at 160 cm and boys’ at 164 cm. DeFacto offers a 14 years and over size beyond that, at 170 cm.

Baby clothing sizes

At LC Waikiki and DeFacto, a baby’s size is a height in cm, with an approximate age and weight. Order by height: the age bands are approximate.

Turkey	Age	Height (cm)	Height (in)

56	0–1 months	56	22.0
62	1–3 months	62	24.4

LC Waikiki’s approximate weight for each size, in kg and pounds (lb).

Shoe sizes

In Turkey, the shoe size is the European (EU) size: a Turkish 38 is an EU 38. The UK and US pairings below come from FLO, a Turkish shoe retailer. Nike puts the same EU size about half a size lower in UK and US, so for Nike shoes use Nike’s own chart. FLO also notes that half sizes such as 37.5 are sometimes seen.

Quick answers

Is a Turkish size the same as a European size? For women at LC Waikiki, yes: Turkish 38 = French 38 = EU 38 = UK 10 = US 6 = IT 42. The cm for one number differ from brand to brand.
What is a Turkish size 32 in UK and US sizes? On a top or dress at LC Waikiki, a 32 is an EU 32 (XXS, UK 4, US 0). On jeans, 32 is a waist number: at DeFacto, a jeans 32 is a Turkish size 42; at Mavi, it is a 79 cm waist.
What Turkish size is a UK 10 or a US 6? A 38 (M) at LC Waikiki. Other brands may differ: check your cm.
Which number is a men’s L? A 52 at LC Waikiki, Koton and DeFacto; an XL is a 54.
What is a Turkish shoe size 38 in UK and US sizes? UK 5 and US 7.5 at FLO. At Nike, the same EU size is about half a size lower.
What size is a child of 110 cm? A size 110, which is 4–5 years at LC Waikiki. Age is only a guide: go by height.

Tips for ordering from Turkish stores

Compare your centimetres. The same number means different measurements at different brands. Compare your bust, waist and hips with the seller’s chart, not with the number or the letter.
Body or garment. Check whether the seller’s chart gives body measurements or garment measurements: LC Waikiki does not say.
Between two sizes, take the larger. This is general advice, not a rule specific to Turkey.
Children: height first. Turkish sizes are heights in cm; age is only a guide.
Jeans: the number is not the Turkish size. Read the waist in cm from the jeans table.
