Children's clothing sizes

Children's clothing sizes are best determined using the following tips:

  • Understand the Size labels 
  • Children's clothing sizes are often labeled in age categories, such as 4-5 years old or 10-12 years old. These sizes are only guidelines. Each child is unique and grows at his or her own pace. Therefore, it is important to look at the specific measurements of clothing, such as height, chest and waist circumference. 

  • Measuring your child
  • Measuring your child is the key to finding the right Size. Measure your child's length from head to toe, chest circumference at the widest point, and waist circumference at the narrowest point. Don't hold the tape measure too tight; it must remain comfortable!

    You may find that not all size measurements are always listed on products, in which case go by your child's height measurement. If you know the length, you can use our size chart: children's sizesdetermine which size fits best. 

  • Taking growth into account
  • Children grow quickly, so it can be helpful to buy clothes that are a little bigger. This does not mean that you should buy clothes that are way too big, because that can be uncomfortable for the child. Unless your child wants to go for an oversized look!

  • Different seasons
  • When buying seasonal clothing, such as winter coats or swimwear, it is important to keep your child's growth rate in mind. Don't buy these items too far in advance, because chances are that by the time the season arrives your child will be out of Size has grown out of them. If you do come across a gem, go for 1 or 2 sizes larger!
