Sizes shown are standard international conversions. Individual brands may vary — always check Shein's official size chart for exact measurements.

What is my size in Shein?

Shein runs small and uses China-based sizing, so most US shoppers size up one (sometimes two). There is no single Shein chart — each product has its own Size Guide in cm and inches. Measure your bust, waist and hips and match them to that specific item rather than trusting the S/M/L label.

Shein Sizing & Fit Guide

Shein uses China-based sizing and runs small — most US shoppers size up one, sometimes two. Crucially, Shein has no single universal size chart: every item carries its own measurements, so always open the 'Size Guide' on each product page (shown in cm and inches) and match your bust, waist and hips to that specific item. The letter sizes below are standard international sizing for orientation only.

Why Shein Has No Universal Size Chart

Shein is one of the few major brands with no brand-wide size chart — and that's by design. Per Shein's own help page, you find your fit by tapping the 'Size Guide' button on each product page, which shows that item's exact measurements in centimeters and inches. Because Shein lists thousands of independent suppliers, a Medium in one dress can differ from a Medium in another, and labels may appear in US, EU or DE numbering depending on the item. The single most reliable move is to ignore the letter on the label and compare your own bust, waist and hip measurements to the per-product chart.

Does Shein Run Small?

Yes — Shein is China-based and widely runs small, especially in fitted tops, dresses and jeans, so most US and UK shoppers size up one and occasionally two. Stretch and oversized styles are the exception and can fit as labeled. Shein also offers a logged-in 'Check My Size' fit finder (based on height and weight) and lists model measurements under each item's 'Size & Fit' section. Treat 'runs small' as a starting assumption, then confirm against the garment-specific measurements before you buy.

How to Read a Shein Size Guide

On any Shein product, scroll to and tap 'Size Guide' to open that item's measurement table. Toggle between cm and inches, then compare the bust, waist and hip figures to your own body measurements rather than the size letter. If you fall between two sizes, size up — Shein's grading is tight. For tops and dresses, bust is usually the deciding measurement; for jeans and skirts, go by waist and hip. The S/M/L label is only a rough guide; the numbers are what matter.
