Streetwear Size Guide infographic
Bridge the gap between China and US sizing for the perfect fit, every time.
Why Does Sizing Matter?
For online stores, getting the sizing right is crucial. It's the number one reason for returns, leading to lost revenue and unhappy customers. A clear size guide is your best defense.
By empowering customers to choose the right size, you reduce returns, boost confidence, and build a loyal following.
Why Are Chinese & US Sizes Different?
It comes down to average body proportions. Chinese sizes are designed for a generally smaller and shorter build compared to the US. Understanding this is the first step to finding your perfect fit.
How to Measure Yourself
Use a Soft Tape
A flexible measuring tape is key for accuracy. Don't pull it too tight!
Light Clothing
Measure over underwear or light clothes for the most precise numbers.
Keep it Level
Ensure the tape is parallel to the floor for all circumference measurements.
| Measurement | How to Measure |
|---|---|
| Chest/Bust | Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms. |
| Waist | Measure your natural waistline, the narrowest part of your torso. |
| Hips | Measure the fullest part of your hips and buttocks. |
| Inseam | Measure from your crotch to your desired pant length. |

Pro Tips for the Perfect Fit
Rule of Thumb: Size Up!
When in doubt, order one or two sizes up from your usual US size. This not only accounts for the smaller Chinese sizing but also helps you nail that popular oversized streetwear look.
Check the Fabric
A garment with stretch will be more forgiving than one made of rigid material. Keep an eye on the fabric composition in the product description.
