Key conversion rules you must know
- Chinese sizes run smaller than Western fast fashion: A Chinese L is usually a US M/L.
- CN labels represent body size, while US sizes are generalized garment sizing.
- Tailored Chinese suits, dresses and non‑stretch fabrics fit slimmer by default.
- Oversized Chinese casual styles fit true to size or slightly generous.
Why direct one‑to‑one matching fails
Brands like ICICLE, JNBY, EP Yaying and Edition follow strict Asian tailored proportions. If you are used to relaxed US brand fits, you may need to size up one level for structured Chinese apparel.
Disclaimer: Conversions are approximate reference only. Actual fit varies by brand, fabric and silhouette.
