Alright, ladies, this is your chart! Here’s a unique tip about Chinese women’s clothing sizes – they often use a height-bust centimeter system. For instance, if you see 165/68A, it’s meant for someone with a height of 165 cm and a bust of 68 cm. On the other side, manufacturers will replace the bust number with the waist data on the pants’ labels. For example, 165/68A means a waist of 68 cm on pants. The ‘A’ signifies a standard body type. As for body type classifications: A is standard, B is slightly overweight, C is overweight, and Y is slim.

Alright, gents, here’s your China size chart. Just like women’s sizes, men’s clothing often follows a height-bust system. So, if you see a 170/88A, it’s designed for a height of 170 cm and a bust of 88 cm. For the pants’ sizes, they will replace the bust with the waist number. So if you see the 170/88A on a pair of pants, it means 88 cm waist, not bust. The ‘A’ signifies a standard body type. As for body type classifications: A is standard, B is slightly overweight, C is overweight, and Y is slim.
