Chinese Clothing Size Guide & International Conversion
This Chinese clothing size guide helps you convert Asian sizes to US, UK, and EU measurements. Since Asian sizing typically runs smaller, most customers are recommended to size up for a comfortable and accurate fit.
What size should I choose in Chinese clothing?
Chinese (Asian) sizes are generally smaller than US and EU sizes. If you usually wear a US size S, you may need a size M in Chinese sizing. For fitted garments like qipao or structured jackets, choosing one size up is strongly recommended.

How does LUXE ORIENTA sizing fit?
LUXE ORIENTA garments are designed with a structured silhouette inspired by traditional Chinese tailoring. Most pieces have minimal stretch, especially those made from silk, brocade, or Xiangyunsha fabric.
If you prefer a relaxed fit, sizing up is recommended.
When should you size up?
- Between two sizes
- Prefer a looser or more relaxed fit
- Purchasing structured or fitted styles
- Choosing non-stretch fabrics like silk or brocade
At LUXE ORIENTA, we combine traditional Chinese craftsmanship with modern tailoring. Our sizing reflects authentic garment construction rather than mass-market stretch sizing, ensuring a refined and elegant fit.
