Men to Women Size Converter
Convert men's clothing and shoe sizes to women's instantly. Whether you're shopping unisex, eyeing a men's-only sneaker drop, or sharing a wardrobe — these are the conversions that actually work.
Tops & Shirts
Rule of thumb: women's size = men's size + 2 letter sizes. A men's S fits like a women's M.
| Men's | Women's |
|---|---|
| XS (32-34) | S (4-6) |
| S (34-36) | M (8-10) |
| M (38-40) | L (12-14) |
| L (42-44) | XL (16-18) |
| XL (46-48) | XXL (20-22) |
Pants & Jeans
Men's waist (inches) → women's numeric size / women's waist (inches).
| Men's Waist | Women's Size / Waist |
|---|---|
| 28 | 6 / 26 |
| 30 | 10 / 28 |
| 32 | 14 / 30 |
| 34 | 16 / 32 |
| 36 | 18 / 34 |
| 38 | 20 / 36 |
Shoes
Add 1.5 to the men's US size for the women's equivalent. Same physical shoe, different label.
| Men's US | Women's US | EU | CM |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 7.5 | 39 | 24 |

A 36-inch men's waist is approximately a women's size 18 in standard US sizing.

Why do men's and women's sizes use different systems?
They evolved independently. Men's sizing is based on actual body measurements (chest in inches). Women's sizing uses an indexed numbering system that has drifted over decades.
