Sizes in the UK
130 is a children’s size in the UK, but what does that mean? What size is a 130 cm person? And how does that translate to other countries? Let’s take a look.
Clothes
UK sizes are used in the UK and Ireland. They are part of the ISO standards for clothing but they are not used in the rest of Europe. UK sizes are calculated on a chest width in inches reducing by 2 inches for each size below. For example, a man with a 42 inch chest would wear a size 40 shirt.
The smallest standard size is a 6 and the largest is a 32. The most common sizes are between 14 and 18. Sizes above 18 are plus sizes.
There is no standardization for women’s dress sizes in the UK. Sizes are usually determined by the bust measurement and then reduced by 4-6 inches to get the waist measurement. For example, a woman with a 36 inch bust would wear a size 10 dress with a 28 inch waist.
Shoes
There is no standardisation in the UK for shoe sizes. With adult shoes, sizes will vary between manufacturers, and even different styles from the same manufacturer can vary in size. The only way to be certain of getting a good fit is to try shoes on in a shop.
For children’s shoes, sizes are usually based on the child’s age, but again there will be some variation between manufacturers. Some manufacturers also include width fittings in their sizing (e.g. 3E, 4E etc), so it is worth checking this as well if you know your child has wide feet.
The best way to buy shoes online is to find a retailer who offers a ‘try before you buy’ service, so that you can order several pairs of shoes in different sizes and return the ones that don’t fit.
Here is a rough guide to shoe sizes in the UK:
Adult shoe sizes:
-Men’s shoe sizes start at around size 6 (39) and go up to size 16 (50).
-Women’s shoe sizes start at around size 3 (36) and go up to size 9 (42).
-There is no real difference between men’s and women’s sizing, other than the fact that women’s shoes are generally sold in half-sizes (e.g. 6 1/2, 7 1/2 etc), whereas men’s shoes are generally sold in whole sizes (e.g. 6, 7 etc). This means that a man who takes a size 6 shoe will usually take a size 6 1/2 if he buys women’s shoes.
-There are also many retailers who sell unisex or gender-neutral footwear these days.
Children’s shoe sizes:
-Children’s shoe sizes start at around size 0 (19) for very small babies and infants, and go up to around size 7 (41) for bigger kids.
-Sizes beyond this are usually adult sized shoes with children’s designs or characters on them (e.g. superhero sneakers for boys or glittery ballet flats for girls).
Sizes in Europe
Confusion often occurs when shopping for clothes in Europe because the sizing is completely different from what is used in America. A size 130 in Europe is the equivalent of a size 8 in America. To make things even more confusing, the sizing is different for children than it is for adults. Let’s take a look at the sizing chart to see what size you should buy.
Clothes
European dress sizes are based on measurements in centimeters. For example, a man that has a shirt size of 40 in Europe will have the following dimensions:
-The chest measured in centimeters will be 102
-The waist measured in centimeters will be 77
-The height measured in centimeters will be 188
To convert European dress sizes into their American or UK equivalents, it is necessary to take into account two factors: type of clothing and height. Generally, you will need to add 4 to the European size to find the American equivalent for women’s clothes, and subtract about 30 for men’s clothes. For example, a European dress size 38 for women would be equivalent to a size 8 in America, and a European dress size 48 for men would be equivalent to a size 16 in America. To find the UK equivalent, you will need to subtract 2 from the European size for women’s clothes and add 21 for men’s clothes.

Sizes in the US
There are a lot of size charts out there, and it can be confusing to try to figure out what size you should wear. In the United States, size 130 is considered to be a size for children. It is generally equivalent to a size 8 in women’s clothing and a size 28 in men’s clothing.
Clothes
There are a few different systems for sizing clothes in the US. The most common one is the numerical system, which goes from 0 to 16 for women and 36 to 46 for men. This system is used for both tops and bottoms. For example, a women’s size 8 top would be the same as a men’s size 40 top.
There is also a letter system, which is used mostly for tops. In this system, XS is extra small, S is small, M is medium, L is large, and XL is extra large. This system can also be used for bottoms, but it’s less common. For example, a women’s size S bottom would be the same as a men’s size 32 bottom.
Finally, there are plus sizes for both women and men. These sizes start at 1X (which is equivalent to a women’s size 16 or a men’s size 46) and go up from there. For example, a women’s size 3X top would be the same as a men’s size 54 top.
Shoes
Shoes are sized differently in the United States than they are in most of the world. It can be confusing to try to figure out what size you need when shopping online, but there are a few easy ways to convert your shoe size to a U.S. size.
