Shopping for kids clothes can be a real nightmare. Kids grow up fast, and it gets really hard trying to monitor their current kids clothes size because they keep on changing. It also doesn’t help that there is no required universal children’s clothing size guide that all clothing manufacturers and retailers must follow. To have a fighting chance against this huge predicament, this site provides a helpful guide to finding the right fit for the most common types of kids’ clothes.

Kids Sizes at a Glance

• When it comes to finding the right fit, it’s far better to take your child’s height and weight into consideration than just simply relying on age. However, the best way is to take accurate measurements of your kid’s body using a cloth measuring tape. You may then refer to a size chart to know the corresponding clothing size to your child’s measurements.
• American sizes, along with British and Australian clothing sizes, are traditionally based on age. The rest of Europe, on the other hand, have sizing guides based on height.
• International size conversions are merely approximations as apparel companies tend to make clothes based on their own version of standard sizing.
• In the United States, clothes for toddlers and small children use age to name different size classifications. The sizes are typically based on the weight and height of the child but specific measurements for the chest, waist, and hip are also provided.
• For older kids, the size guide for males is different from the one used for females.
• Check out our Mexican Kids Sizes, Asian Kids Sizes and European Kids Sizes guides.

U.S. Children’s Clothing Sizes

In the United States, clothes for toddlers and small children use the age to name different size classifications. The clothing sizes are typically determined by the height and weight of the child but specific measurements for the chest, waist, and hips are also provided. For older kids, the size guide for males is different from the one used for females.

Toddlers & Small Kids Sizing Chart

The chart below provides an overview to US sizes for young children, boys and girls. The clothing sizes are determined by weight in pounds and height in inches. The “T” found next to size numbers stands for “Toddler.” For this age group, the size guide for boys and girls is the same because children have yet to develop masculine or feminine body shapes at this point in their lives.6 Sizes only start to separate by gender after size 6X.

Clothing Size Charts for Girls

Measurements aside from weight are more useful in figuring out the clothing size of older children. In fact, the body proportions of children in this age group are so varied that some brands have even made further distinctions between tall-, regular-, and plus-sized children. Determining clothing sizes for girls are even more difficult since their body parts like the chests and hips develop at different paces.

Children’s Jeans & Pants Size Charts

To find well-fitting pants or jeans for your child, measure the fullest part of his hips, his natural waist (near the bellybutton), his inseam (situated along the inside leg; measured from the center of the crotch to the floor), and his height. Match your child’s measurements to the specific size charts of the clothing brand you patronize. Options are not limited to regular sizes. Some retailers offer slim sizes as well as plus (“husky” for boys) sizes.  The ideal pants should not pucker around the crotch area and must have extra breathing room around the waist.

Kids Clothing Size Conversion Chart

International clothing sizes have different measurements from each other. American, UK, and Australian clothing sizes are traditionally the same because they are all based on age. European clothing sizes for kids, on the other hand, are different because they are based on height. Conversion charts are helpful when it comes determining your child’s clothing size in other countries.

US Size	Child Age	Height (Inch)	Height (CM)	EU Size	UK Size
2T	2	36–38	92–98	92–98	2–3
3T–4T	3–4	38–41	98–104	98–104	3–4
5	4–5	41–43	104–110	104–110	4–5
6	5–6	43–46	110–116	110–116	5–6
6X–7	6–7	46–48	116–122	116–122	6–7
7–8	7–8	48–50	122–128	122–128	7–8
9–10	8–9	50–53	128–134	128–134	8–9
10	9–10	53–55	134–140	134–140	9–10
11	10–11	55–57	140–146	140–146	10–11
14	11–12	57–60	146–152	146–152	11–12

However, keep in mind that these size conversions are merely approximations as apparel companies tend to make clothes based on their own version of standard sizing.
What is large in one brand may be converted as XL in another. A US size 2T may be theoretically the same as the European size 92-98 cm but in reality, it may be a bit bigger than the latter.
To get the most accurate conversion of clothing sizes, rely on sizing charts that contain specific body measurements. All you would need to do is to convert from one unit of measure (inches) to another (centimeters).

How to measure Kids Sizes

Clothing sizes vary and for children’s apparel, they are usually labeled according to the child’s age. However, when it comes to finding the right fit, it’s far better to take your child’s height and weight into consideration than just simply relying on age. The best way, of course, is to take accurate measurements of your kid’s body using a cloth measuring tape.

Children’s measurements should only be taken over their bare skin or while they are wearing skin-tight clothes. For tops and dresses, record your child’s chest, waist, and sometimes hip measurements. For dress shirts, including neck and sleeve measurements.

For bottoms like trousers and jeans, measure the waist, hips, and inseam. You may then refer to a size chart to know the corresponding clothing size to your child’s measurements. Clothing sizes found in generic charts can be a good reference but it’s best to rely on the size chart of specific brands or retailers that you patronize.

Is there such a thing as standard children clothing sizes?

Various countries have established their own standards when it comes to classifying clothing sizes. However, in the case of the United States, there is no hard-and-fast rule when it comes to standardizing and classifying clothing sizes in the ready-to-wear clothing industry. The U.S. government once tried to establish a system in 1958 and even made it a commercial standard, but it was eventually degraded to a voluntary standard until it was abolished altogether. Nowadays, clothing brands enjoy some degree of liberty in defining the measurement range of their clothing sizes though many also observe the voluntary standards recommended by private organization ASTM International.  However, with more countries opening its doors to other nations, there is now a serious call for international standardization when it comes to clothes, with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) at the helm in producing said standards. Unfortunately, there are those who believe that setting a standard is difficult because people are growing bigger now, which means clothing sizes should be getting bigger too.

Can you rely on sizes?

The truth is size charts today are not universal and clothing sizes are inconsistent. As for whether you can still rely on clothing sizes, the answer is you can, but not as much as you may have hoped. If you already have specific clothing brands you are loyal to, then you can easily use their sizing charts as guides for buying clothes for your child. However, if you’re unfamiliar with a brand and relying on a generic size chart in selecting clothes for your kid, then you may find clothing sizes to be not as helpful. In the end, it’s better to have something to rely on even if it’s only reliable up to a certain extent than not to have any guide at all.

Many of our readers want to know what the tag sizes mean on “boys” and “menswear” clothing (in other words, size conversions.)  This is a bit tricky to answer, because brands differ in their fit. The Art of Manliness fashion blog states, “Remember that every brand has a different set of models they use to design their clothing’s sizes, so a medium in one brand does not mean you’ll have the same fit in another.” Esquire Magazine’s article “Are Your Pants Lying to You: An Investigation” reveals the size disparities between popular brands. I’ve had personal experience with this when trying on clothing from various “womenswear” departments. I’m a size 4 in one brand and a size 6 in others. I even own a few pair of size 2 pants from brands that engage in “vanity sizing.” The same holds true for shoes.

To give you a ballpark idea of standard boys and menswear sizes, I compiled information from size charts provided by some of the top selling menswear brands.

size chart for girls and boys from 0 to 16 years old

There are about 15 measurements of clothes on the Russian market. At risk are the sizes of children’s clothing, because ordering it on the Internet or buying it in a store, you can make a mistake. This is especially true for buying in foreign stores, where the sizes do not match the Russian ones. Then you need to turn to the comparison tables.

Rules for taking measurements from a child

A size chart for small children involves taking measurements. In some cases, the size of clothes for children is indicated in the form of body length and age. But this approach is not always suitable, as the baby may be too tall or vice versa. Then the easiest way is to take measurements according to the following instructions.

1. Rost. The child should be asked to stand against the wall. He must not be wearing shoes. The highest point needs to be marked. It is important that the baby should stand tightly against the wall, without distortions.
2. Volume. You need to measure your waist, chest and hips. It is done at the widest point and this data is recorded.
3. Sleeve length. It is required to measure the sleeve with a small margin. Therefore, you need to find the distance from the extreme point of the shoulder to the first phalanx of the thumb.

The more correct the size is found, the better the garment will fit. But do not forget the accelerated growth of children. The baby can grow several centimeters very soon his clothes will become small. Therefore, it is important to consider this indicator.

To get the right size, you should follow a few rules:

1. The size chart for newborn clothes shows the natural indicators of the child. But children grow up, and after 2 months it may not suit them. It is better to take things with a small margin for the future.
2. Closer to the age of five, the child becomes picky about clothes and children’s sizes already need to be selected without a stock or with a minimum vacation.

Measurement is desirable to use a good tailor centimeter that does not stretch, does not give measurement errors

How to correctly determine the size of clothes

Boys and girls under 4 years old develop approximately the same. For this reason, the size chart for children’s clothing is the same. The data obtained must be recorded and when buying, compare them with the data on the tag. If the purchase takes place online, it is important to study the size chart that is attached to the product. Often the data is indicated in the form of a dimension, and by comparing the parameters of the child with the plate, you can get the required number.

An extended size is often used, which takes into account all the anthropometric data of the body.

This will require the following data to be collected:

1. Chest. You need to find the protruding parts of the shoulder blades. This is the widest part of the sternum. Elastic centimeters need to measure the girth.

How to determine the size of clothing

Boys less adhered to clothing than girls. But for them there are many shops and a large selection of new items for the wardrobe. Sweatshirts, trousers, sweatshirts. Fashion designers do not offend boys. They create great collections. Applications, prints on T-shirts, with cartoon characters are now fashionable.

Bright colors are also in fashion for boys. Previously, they wore only restrained tones. In recent years, even teenagers will not refuse salad or yellow. Any thing should perfectly «sit», be comfortable, fit in size.

Parents of small children update their wardrobe themselves. Teenage boys love to order things they like online. Moms better control such purchases. To avoid sizing issues. If the son is completely independent, teach him to take measurements from himself and use size charts.

Basic measurements — height, age and chest. But we must also take into account the volume of the waist, hips, arm length. For example, buying trousers, shorts, outerwear require knowledge of these parameters.

Rost. Mothers always know the height of their son. They are measured in clinics, schools. But, relying on an indicator with a statute of limitations is not necessary. Children are growing fast. Therefore, it is better to calculate growth before purchasing new clothes. The child should stand near the wall on the floor. With an even position of the body, in a relaxed state.

If your son is small, indulges and cannot stand still, turn the measurements into a game. Or, offer him a rewarding treat. And, he will gladly stand for a minute. With a pencil, mark on the wall the place where the back of the head ends. Then, measure the distance from the mark to the floor.

Bust. Boys’ chest is measured by passing a measuring tape under the armpits. If the son is active, you can carefully take measurements during his sleep.

Waist. Boys rarely wear clothes around the waist. But, when buying pants, you need this value. The waist of the boys is in the place where the elastic band passes the panties. Slightly above the hips. Wrap the tape around this area.

Hips. The hip line is the widest part of the body. Visually define a line a few centimeters below the abdomen. On the protruding points of the priests.

Sleeve length. Also rarely required, and this indicator is not in the table. But, parents need to be able to take such a measure. Keep your son upright. Ask to raise any arm and bend it at the elbow. Use a tape to measure a line from shoulder to wrist.

After setting the parameters, carefully look at the table. In addition to Russian standards, it includes markings of European, British and American companies. After establishing the Russian size, they can be recognized without difficulty.

Let’s say the son is 8 years old, height 126 cm, and chest circumference 63 cm. According to the diagram, his size is 34. If the company is a foreign manufacturer, look further, at the horizontal line.
