Different nations define and label clothing sizes under different voluntary standards. Boy’s sizes, for instance, are branded according to age in the US.

The same is true in Australia, Northern Ireland, South Africa, South Asia, Western Europe, and the United Kingdom, with a few minor variations. However, children’s sizing in Europe is a little different. Sizes are determined by a child’s height, not by age.

There will be many options for you to purchase clothing from overseas brands, some of which may use a different sizing system than you are used to. International conversion charts are useful because of this. To gain a more precise fit, it is advised that you use a sizing guide if you do use one and one that provides exact body dimensions.

Remember, though, that these conversion tables may not always be accurate in determining your child’s clothing size in international brands. They are merely estimates.
