Sizing conventions vary by brand and by cut — this table shows the standard published conversion. Always check the garment's own size chart when one is available. See how these tables are compiled.
A US size 8 women's top converts to a EU 38 on the standard chart, which sits in the middle of the letter-size band most European brands also label 'M' — useful when a European retailer shows both a letter and a EU number.
Because European sizing for tops moves more coarsely at the top and bottom of the range (an XL spans EU 46-48 on this chart, a wider band than the mid sizes), checking the specific numeric range for your US size matters more at the size extremes than in the middle.
Frequently asked questions
Does a US top size always match one exact EU number?
Near the middle of the range, closely. At the largest and smallest sizes, EU brands often group a wider span under one letter size, so the numeric match is looser — check the brand's own chart for XS and XXL specifically.
