China sizes

GB (national standard) ยท cm-based

Chinese sizing uses centimeter body-measurement labels. Numeric labels (160/84A) encode both height and bust.

Women's clothing label

Height cm / bust cm + type (160/84A)

Men's clothing label

Height cm / chest cm + type (170/92A)

Shoe label

EU + Mondopoint mm (42 / 265)

Chinese women's clothing uses labels like 160/84A: 160 cm body height / 84 cm bust / A body-type. That maps roughly to US S. Men's uses 170/92A (height / chest / type).

Chinese shoe sizing typically labels both the EU number and the foot length in mm โ€” e.g., '42 (265)'. The mm value is Mondopoint, so trust it.

Common pitfalls

  • China-made goods for the US market use the US chart; goods for the China market use GB โ€” the same brand can have both.
  • 'A' body type in the label = standard; 'B' = fuller. This is not a size number.
  • Aliexpress and Taobao 'Asian sizing' can run 2 sizes smaller than US labels โ€” always read the cm chart.
