Japan Size Explanation

In Japan, the approach towards garment sizing significantly revolves around detailed body measurements. That means they typically use the centimeter system to offer an accurate fit. An interesting departure from the ambiguity often associated with the universal Small, Medium, and Large sizes, isn’t it?

When referring to tops and dresses, the bust measurement becomes an essential indicator of size in Japan. For pants, however, the focal points become the hip and waist measurements.

You might also encounter ‘LL’ in Japanese size charts, a label that corresponds to the western ‘Extra Large’. This clear, no-nonsense nomenclature is another testament to the straightforwardness of the Japanese sizing system.

When we transition to footwear, sizes are based on the exact length of one’s foot in centimeters, eliminating any potential ambiguity.

A Friendly Heads Up!

While we’ve gone to great lengths to ensure our converter’s accuracy, we must note it’s not foolproof. Every brand, every manufacturer, and even every clothing item can have variations in sizing. We like to think of this as the “personality” of the piece.

We provide this tool as a general guide, but it’s not a tailor-made solution for all your fitting needs. The user bears the responsibility for making the final decision. Our company is not liable for any discrepancies or inconsistencies that might occur when using this tool. It’s more of a guide dog than a seeing-eye robot.

In the end, remember, the perfect fit is not just about numbers or letters on a tag, but about how you feel in your clothes. As the Japanese say, “ishin denshin” – what’s important is the unspoken understanding between you and your clothes.

So go ahead, convert your size, dive into the beautiful world of fashion, and let your style speak louder than words!
