A little help finding your fit

Size guide

Use these approximate UK guides as a starting point for tops, trousers and footwear. There is no single size chart that fits every brand.

Product-specific guides are on the way

Size guides will be attached directly to products by the end of November 2026. Where a product or manufacturer’s guide is available, always use that in preference to the general charts below.

Measure first

Measure around the fullest part of your chest or bust, around your natural waist and around the fullest part of your hips. For inside leg, measure from the crotch to the required hem. Keep the tape comfortably level without pulling it tight. Body measurements and laid-flat garment measurements are different.

Trousers

For trousers sold by waist measurement, match the waist label to your measured waist. Choose the inside leg separately; short, regular and long lengths vary by brand.

Age is only a starting point. These are example standard boys’ proportions, not a universal unisex fit. Girls’ cuts and different schoolwear brands may differ. Use height, chest and waist together, and check the actual garment before personalising.
