I’m looking for a new pair of trousers and the values on the labels in a German H&M are given in EUR. I found a couple of charts online which ostensibly convert EU values to cm or inches, but two of them give sizes starting in the low “40s” (with for example my size of ~80 cm waist being listed as size 46 or 48), but all the values of the labels in the store are in the high 20s/low 30s. The third chart shown also contradicts the other two (and lists a range of sizes more in line with what I can see in the shop). If you could clear up this confusion it’d be a big help. Thanks!!

  1. I think it might be a waste of your time. I never managed to order my correct size from H&M. The same size label for two articles of the same type of clothing are routinely simultaneously too small and too big.

  2. You will come around these more often.

    Most of the time for jeans.

    First number is for waist, second number is the length. Should be inches, so either take measurements and calculate it yourself. Or test it out in the store and see which sizes fit and remember that.
