Clothing Size Converter

An India M in many women’s charts sits near UK 10 / US 6; a men’s India M near UK 38 / US 38. That is the mapping this page prints. Van Heusen, Fabindia and a street tailor in Kanchipuram will all disagree. Use the brand’s size chart; this is a travel-shopping hint.

The price tag, not a checkout

Overseas orders into Bengaluru and guests shopping in Jaipur bazaars need a letter-to-number bridge. IndiaKit keeps S/M/L/XL for women and men separately so an XL kurta is not silently a men’s 42. Festival returns on marketplaces are harder than a two-minute converter, which is why the limits below push you back to centimetres.

Discount and unit maths

Women: S UK8/US4, M UK10/US6, L UK12/US8, XL UK14/US10. Men: S 36, M 38, L 40, XL 42 in UK/US chest-style numbers. Default: women, M → UK 10 / US 6.

Indian ethnic wear is often a different last than a US T-shirt. When in doubt, measure chest in centimetres.

No body photos, no Aadhaar. Just two dropdowns.

Women’s India M as UK 10 / US 6

A shopper who wears M in Indian high-street brands sees UK 10 / US 6 as the approximate equivalent. She still reads the centimetre chart on the US site because one “M” ran small last Diwali.

Four letter sizes, two gender charts, no kids, no plus sizes above XL. Cut varies. Brand chart wins.

Common questions

Is men’s 38 a chest in inches?

That is how many Indian/UK men’s shirts are labelled. Confirm on the garment tag. This page is approximate.

Where is XXL?

Not in this version. Use the brand’s centimetre chart rather than inventing a UK number.

Do you convert children’s clothing?

No. Age-based kids’ sizes are a different system.
