there are some really cute bikinis online. but i don´t know about the sizing. what is "EU36"? Is that something different to "normal" 36? because it says "XS - EU36"

 

[Teja]

Yeah, I would say EU36 is normal 36.

 

[myown]

but why "XS - EU36"?

 

[Teja]

I don't know. I never go by XS, S, M,... if there are also EU sizes written next to the XS-XL.

 

[softgrey]

36 is european sizing...(french, usually- italian is different)
and is the equivalent of a american size 4...
which is an extra small...

ie- i am a 38 (french), 42 (italian), sz 6(american), size small (universal), size 2 (japan)


don't even get me started on shoe sizing...
...

 

[myown]

but normally I buy xs or s and wear 32 or 34 not 36..

 

[diesanni]

From what I experienced with Asos sizing so far...

6=xxs=32/34
8=xs=34/36
10=S=36/38

Always on the smaller side of the scale.

It differs a lot or their own brand. I own dresses from a size 8 to 12 that all fit perfectly. I'd just order both sizes. Shipping is free and they refund you quickly.

 

[softgrey]

yeah---it's confusing...
maybe diesanni is more familiar with asos than i am...
i am only speaking from my personal knowledge and my experience with luxury brands through work...

it gets more complicated as we get more global...
we are going to need to shift over to some universal sizing at some point i think...


i suggest you buy two sizes and send back the one that doesn't fit!
good luck!
*edit*---oh---we had the same suggestion!...hahaha...

i forgot to even include UK sizing...in which i am apparently a 10......

I agree that ASOS tends to run small. I'd say go for the measurements (and google the size charts for other brands) rather than the size itself.

Any new codes for Europe available at the moment?

wondering the same for US? Is it just me or have they significantly reduced their promos?

 

[Alstroe]

Has anyone any experience with ASOS shoes? What sort of quality are they?

 

[Natashaaa]

^I have a pair of ASOS wedges and the quality is ok. Plus, they are pretty comfy.

Would they say that they were closer to Topshop quality or H&M quality?

 

[Jinadaze]

Actually most of my shoes are Asos branded and I love them, some are about 3 years old and still in great condition. They are mostly leather brogues..
Not even near Topshop or H&M quality, more like COS.

I find that their sizing is on the big side and it's probably a strategic one. Being an online-only retailer, people don't get to try the items and to reduce returns, the designs can be ambiguous in fit. By that I mean it doesn't have to fit exactly and still look good.

For me, the first thing I look at when trying things on is the shoulders. I personally wouldn't recommend getting a fitted blazer at ASOS because the items I bought have not had good shoulder constructions however they do look fine slouchy.

Anyone else feel this way?

 

[diesanni]

^I find that it depends on the fabric. Everything made from pure Polyester
tends to be very small. Their cotton-made cloths are usually true to size or a bit oversized. I'm a European size 36 and I always order a size 8 and 10 for everything and see what fits better.
