The popularity of the foreign trading platform Aliexpress today is incredibly high. For men who want to look stylish for little money, it is important to understand men's sizes on Aliexpress so that the purchase is successful. And the catch here is that Asian sizes are quite different from the usual European ones, so you need to learn how to select a certain size.
Dimensions men's clothing on Aliexpress they are exhibited in a very wide range, since they are presented in the Chinese format. They should not be confused with European sizes. Moreover, you should not choose, for example, a jumper and jacket of the same size, sold by the same company. After all, products from the same seller can differ greatly in sizing.
Asian and European sizes, although they have letter designations, they clearly do not correspond to each other. Before making a purchase on Aliexpress, it is better to familiarize yourself with the table of correspondence of these sizes.
Usually on the Chinese Internet site you can see the following letter designations for the sizes of men's clothing:
- S, means small;
- M, means medium;
- L, means large;
- XL means extra large;
- XXL means huge.
Specifics of selecting men's clothing
So, you should not rely only on the letter designations of things. Asian manufacturers clearly don’t bother with adhering to a single size grid when sewing. To determine required size you need to use a special table for matching men's sizes on Aliexpress. This table will be your main assistant in choosing standard sizes for a jacket or jumper.
The specifics of any wardrobe items from Chinese manufacturers are very important. Since the inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom themselves are shorter and narrower in the shoulders than European men, therefore, you almost always have to add one unit to the size selected on the website. For example, you wear L clothes - in this case it is better to order an item in size XL.
How to use size charts?
Almost always, in addition to the letter designation, clothing sizes are presented in measurements in centimeters. Sometimes they are the ones who prevent you from making a mistake in choosing when making a purchase. Almost always, a grid indicating centimeters can be found on the page of the product being sold.
To determine men's size in Russian on the Aliexpress website, you need to correctly measure your parameters using a centimeter tape. Here's what needs to be measured and how to do it correctly:
- Height. You need to take off your shoes and lean against the surface, making marks at the top of your head. That is, you need to measure from the top of your head to your heels. Apply a measuring tape to the mark and find out your exact height.
- Bust. Measure around the body, along the most convex point of the horizontal line.
- Waist circumference. Measure along the narrowest part of the torso. It is approximately located in the navel area.
- Hip circumference. To measure, the legs must be taken together. Measure along the most protruding parts of the hips.
- Pants length by inside seam . The crotch seam is measured. You can use old trousers for this.
- Side length of trousers. Measured from the waist to the heels.
- Neck circumference. This option is especially necessary when purchasing shirts.
- Shoulder length. Measured from the neck to the beginning of the shoulder.
- Sleeve length. Measurement is taken from shoulder to wrist.
You can also determine your weight to get a more complete picture of your size. Most exact weight determined in the morning, when the man has not eaten anything yet (must be measured on a naked body).
The picture shows how to take measurements for men in order to quickly determine your size for the selected product.
When ordering winter or autumn clothes, measurements should be taken after dressing in a thick sweater and pants. If we are talking about choosing a summer or spring wardrobe, then it is better to take measurements while wearing only underwear.
What to do if the size chart is completely unclear?
If the seller’s size chart looks suspicious and has some inconsistencies, then it is better for the customer to write to the seller and request a normal size chart. The buyer should also inform them about their parameters - in this case, an honest and willing seller can advise the right size.
If the seller is deceitful, turns out to be not too honest, recommends the wrong size or sends the completely wrong one, then the correspondence can be used in the future when opening a dispute - it will serve as evidence and help win the controversial issue.
How to determine the size of a jacket?
To select the appropriate size of men's jackets on Aliexpress, it is important to consider that all jackets presented on the Chinese online site can be divided into 3 categories:
- Products of the Chinese and others located nearby the Celestial Empire Asian countries. This includes Chinese clothing of good quality, created for small figures (for example, for men with a thin build). But that doesn't mean larger sizes won't be represented here. Again, it is important to study the product page well to make the right size choice.
- Jackets belonging to original Chinese brands. This includes clothing created specifically for the European consumer. And, as a rule, the sizing chart for jackets in this category fully corresponds to the international one. For fashionistas from Russia, sellers specifically provide a table of correspondence between international and Russian sizes, and also give their recommendations regarding the choice of product.
- Things of popular American or European brands (copies). In this category size chart different brands do not match (despite belonging to Europe and America). Therefore, you can make the right choice of size only by carefully studying the size chart in the product card.
Men's jackets from these three sections can differ significantly in their sizes. For some items, sellers indicate in the description that the item is small or large. This helps customers a lot right choice and enjoy the things you have purchased. You can make sure the size of the jacket matches by reading existing customer reviews.
In order for a man to be satisfied with the purchased item, it is better to measure not only the parameters of the figure and compare them with the indicated sizes in the tables on the product card, but also measure an old jacket that fits perfectly to the figure. In the photo you see what measurements need to be taken and how to do it correctly.
After all the measurements, you should carefully read the description of the desired jacket and look at all the photos provided to see all its details (accessories, pockets, trim, etc.). If the photos on the product page do not seem to be enough or they are unclear, you can write to the seller and ask him to send even more detailed photos. At the same time, you can get advice on a specific jacket size if you have any difficulties with this.
How to determine the size of jeans and underwear?

Good sellers who have been trading on Aliexpress for a long time, as a rule, not only indicate “sizes S, M and L”, but also provide a description of their products with detailed sizing charts. However, it is worth considering that the clothing sizes indicated on Aliexpress differ from European ones. Asian women are generally short and thin, so Chinese clothes almost always run small.

Children's sizes on Aliexpress
Children's clothing is selected according to height.The height and size comparison chart is below. 80, 90, 100, etc. – this is the child’s height, 2T, 3T, 4T, etc. - size corresponding to this height.
As with adult clothing, sizing charts may vary from retailer to retailer, so always check to see what height a particular size will suit.
If there is no sizing chart on the product description page, look at the “Size” field above the Buy Now button. The age for which the product is intended may be indicated there:
Children's shoes on Aliexpress.
Just like adults, children's shoes are selected according to the length of the foot.However, there are some peculiarities here - in the tables with the sizes of children's shoes, it is indicated which size in centimeters you see in the table - internal (by the insole) or external (by the sole). Please pay attention to this and, if nothing is indicated, check with the seller.
Since the child’s feet grow very quickly, it is recommended to take shoes one and a half sizes larger. If you choose winter shoes, add extra for warm sock and about a centimeter - the thickness of the fur inside the product.
However the best option will play it safe and write to the seller your insole size so that he can choose the appropriate shoe size for you.
How to choose a ring size on Aliexpress.
Aliexpress indicates the marking jewelry, adopted in the USA. The ratio of the size to the diameter of your finger is shown in the picture.
How to find out the diameter of a finger? Wrap it with tape in one girth, and then measure the distance with a ruler.
See what figure in the American system corresponds to the value you received in centimeters.
BUT there is my golden rule: use the measurement tables and size charts provided by the seller in the description of each product and read the comments and reviews of your fellow citizens under the product (easily identified by the language of writing and the flag of the country). The greater the number of stars and orders from the seller, the better (determined in the figure below), and if there are comments and reviews below the product from real buyers along with a photo, then you can safely order! If in doubt, then proven method This is to contact the seller directly and ask for the information you are interested in. For communication, I used Google Translator, which translates Russian well into international English (USA), and there were no big problems in understanding it (advice: build simple sentences for communication).
Chinese sellers usually indicate dimensions in the form of letters, see below in the figure:
*i: Click on the image to enlarge.
Designation: Translation:
XXL (extra extra large) Just huge.
XL ( extra large ) - considered very large.
L ( large )- big.
M (medium) - average.
S (small) - small.
XS (extra small) - very small.
Before looking at the rest of the tables for measuring clothes and shoes, you should familiarize yourself with the small subtleties of the designation, for example, the Roman numeral X is added to large sizes at the end and, accordingly, the more of them there are in front, your size will increase in arithmetic progression. XXL is larger than XL, and XXXL is larger than XXL and so on. It happens that in order not to fuss with X, they are simply replaced with 5XL, 6XL, 7XL, I noticed this among sellers selling large sizes of dresses, shirts, shirts, trousers, that is, they specialize in stores for curvy and plus-size figures. And usually special words are indicated in the description: fat women big size, large-size extra large, plus size womens, ladies fashion large sizes, their meaning is easy to understand, for example big size - translated as very large size. It should be taken into account that the Chinese brothers are usually a thin and short nation, so on the website ru. aliexpress.com, you often come across small ones.
English words and designations that may be useful when communicating with the seller: shoulder (shoulder width), sleeve (arm length is the distance from shoulder to wrist), chest/bust (chest volume), waist (waist volume), hips (hip volume) , neck (neck girth for jackets with a collar and blouses).
There may be a situation where the designations are presented in the great Chinese language, but there will be no problems with this either. Use the picture below.
But before you look at the comparison tables, first measure yourself, since the measurement method for men and women is different, look at the pictures below.

Happy shopping!
The following links will help you choose the right sizes in large online stores:
The vast majority of women strive to look perfect for minimal money, and if you buy clothes from our manufacturers, you cannot achieve much variety and self-expression, which cannot be said about Chinese sellers offering goods of any size, color and cut. In addition, such purchases are much cheaper, and you can buy several items for different styles for the same amount. However, there is a small problem here - I don’t know the corresponding size tables, you can buy something that will be very small or extremely large for you.
The sizes of women's clothing on aliexpress are very different from those we are used to. The whole point of the problem is not only that the cuts of clothes and standards are different, but also that the sellers are not responsible enough for the description of the goods on display or the lack of a size correspondence table in them. Still, there are most of those sellers who take trading seriously and understand that it is better to provide all the information once
Here you can roughly see that the supplier provides all the sizes available to him, indicated in Latin letters.
That is, the problem of choosing a size immediately disappears. In addition, among the Chinese you can often find detailed description characteristics of the product, including the dimensions themselves. They are described according to the parameters of the shoulders, chest, and waist. Basically, in such descriptions information is provided to English. We offer you a translation:
- Specified dress size.
- Bust volume.
- Shoulder width.
- Sleeve length.
- Dress length.
Size tables
Having studied the information about the product, all that remains is to measure your parameters. Remember that the Chinese indicate the real and exact size of the product itself, and not the standard figure of the girl for whom the product is sewn. It is recommended to measure the sizes according to your clothes - the measurements will be more accurate in accordance with the Chinese ones. Then you need to contact the seller and clarify the order details. At least once, but you have to deal with sellers who don’t bother to display the sizes of women’s products. It’s not all bad, if the seller has put out someone’s size chart, then you can use something as a guide. And the worst option is that the page simply indicates the sizes that are available. And the girl has to guess which one Chinese size matches its parameters.
In order not to make a mistake, the easiest way is to find a special size table that will allow you to compare the clothing dimensions accepted by us and those offered on the aliexpress website. Naturally, first you need to take all your measurements and determine your size, which must be compared with other standards (American, European) of international sizes.
- Chinese size.
- International size.
- US sizes.
- UK standard.
- French size.
- Italian.
Please note that if your measurements are expressed in centimeters, you must use a slightly different table presented below:
- Chinese standards.
- Bust volume.
- Waist size.
- Hip volume.
It's even easier to choose your bra size. The Chinese prefer to indicate British GOST standards. Here is one of them, comparing European with Chinese sizes:
- European size.
- British standard.
- Chest circumference in centimeters and inches.
- Chest circumference.
- The difference between the chest and rib cage girths (that is, the value from point 3 must be subtracted from the value from point 4).
- Cup size.
Please remember that the example provided is only for women's clothing on aliexpress. Dimensions in any chart may vary slightly. After all, things are not sewn according to one maneuver or fashion. Therefore, after measuring your parameters, estimate another plus or minus a couple of centimeters, depending on the item you like. In addition, there is much more women's clothing than men's clothing and suppliers are often too lazy to give full characteristics of a blouse or skirt.
Plus size women's clothing on Aliexpress
Aliexpress is a site where you can find anything. And quite a few girls and women go there in search of plus size clothes. But, surprisingly, it is unlikely that you will be able to find many options for this or that item. women's wardrobe. China is a different country from Russia and they associate the concept of “plus size” with their women. It’s rare to find a girl taller than 160 cm. Therefore, when choosing a “large size” blouse, skirt, or jeans, match your sizes to the Chinese ones. This way you can roughly guess whether it makes sense to look for something on the site. In order not to waste time, there are search filters on the left, including sizes. For example, like this:
If you find the right size, then feel free to look for what you need. Attention! Chinese things, compared to Russian ones, are small. Take this fact into account when choosing clothes. It is better to order a size larger than to receive a “teenage” blouse.
How to buy a product of the right size on Aliexpress?
If you plan to purchase goods from China, then you need to be prepared for the fact that the size designation may differ slightly from the designations to which we are accustomed. However, China has already reached the global level. Therefore, most products have size designations known to everyone: XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL. But you should not hope that the product you are interested in has exactly these designations. Usually, sellers indicate a special size grid in the product description so that the buyer does not make a mistake in choosing the size.
Men's, women's, children's clothing - size chart
Let's start with what size chart you might get when purchasing a product on Aliexpress?
- European
- Chinese
- American
- Russian. You can find Russian sizes on the trading platform extremely rarely, isolated cases.
In order not to make a mistake in the size when purchasing a product, you will need to convert from one size grid to another, more understandable to us. You can also choose the right size by finding out your waist size, height, hips, and bust. That is, if we have information on this matter about the product, then, accordingly, we will be able to buy a thing that will be ideal for our body.
You should not rely, for example, on one theory of buying things if you are going to purchase men's, women's, and children's clothing. Since the size is determined in each case completely differently. Difficulties, of course, may arise, but do not forget that you are buying things at “ridiculous prices”, so you should not be prepared to buy the perfect thing.
Men's, women's, children's shoes - size table
Most often, sellers on the trading platform use the American sizing grid, but you may encounter both English and European sizes. Sellers care about their customers, so next to the sizes they also indicate the dimensions in centimeters so that you can definitely purchase the item that is ideal for you. That is, with clothes and shoes, the situation is practically the same, they are just used, hoping that you come across a product with Russian sizes, it is not worth it, do not forget that these are goods from China, there are no Russian sellers there, and the Chinese, of course, They don’t understand the Russian size grid at all. So we advise you to determine your foot size in advance, and based on this size, look for shoes that are suitable for you. You can look for a product with a European size designation, each of you is very familiar with them, so you don’t even have to calculate anything here. But with the Chinese mesh you really have to tinker.
Rings on Aliexpress - size table
If you didn’t know, you can also buy beautiful jewelry at a low price on Aliexpress. But here again the question arises with the size of the jewelry. We will look into the issue of buying a ring. So, what size charts do ring retailers publish?
- American
- Japanese
- Swiss
- British
- Russian.
Again, there are very few products with a Russian size chart; the most common is the Japanese size chart. Almost every seller in the product description publishes not only a size grid, but also how to correctly determine the size if you are unfamiliar with this grid.
Do not forget that some rings are measured in millimeters, and very rarely - in inches. Under no circumstances should you try to buy a ring, so to speak. "at random", approximately guessing the size of such a thing. You always need to be sure that it will be the right size for you. If you yourself cannot understand what size in millimeters you exactly need, it is best to contact a specialist or write to the seller to clarify such information.
