Accessorize Size Guide
Accessorize offers contemporary clothing, beachwear, and accessories with a focus on vibrant colours, patterns, and playful designs. The brand provides two distinct sizing systems to ensure the right fit: numbered sizes (6, 8, 10, etc.) for a more precise fit, and lettered sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL) which offer greater flexibility and comfort. Whether you prefer tailored pieces or relaxed silhouettes, understanding your measurements will help you select the perfect size.
How to Measure
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, ensuring the tape measure is straight across your back.
- Waist: Measure your natural waist by bending to one side to locate the crease, then wrap the tape measure around this point.
- Hips: With your feet together, measure around the fullest part of your bottom, approximately 20 cm down from your waistline.
- Mid Hip: Some charts include mid-hip measurements; take this at a point between your natural waist and fullest hip.
- Take all measurements over your underwear rather than over everyday clothing, and stand in bare feet for accuracy.
- Ensure the tape measure is level around your body and sits snugly without twisting or pulling too tightly.
- Breathe naturally during measurement; do not hold your breath or suck in your stomach.
- If you do not have a tape measure, use a ribbon or belt, lay it against a ruler, and record the length.

Product-Specific Guidance
Clothing
Accessorize clothing is designed for a contemporary, fashion-forward fit. Numbered sizes (6, 8, 10, etc.) provide a precise fit and are recommended if you know your exact measurements. Lettered sizes (XS–XXL) offer broader size ranges and are ideal if you prefer a more relaxed or flexible fit. Always cross-reference your bust, waist, and hip measurements against the relevant size chart before ordering.
Beachwear
Swimwear sizing differs slightly from standard clothing, with slightly more generous proportions through the bust and hips for comfort in water. Check the specific swimwear chart above, as you may find a different size compared to your usual clothing size. Beachwear is designed to sit smoothly against the body without excessive tightness.
Girls' Clothing and Shoes
Children's sizing is organised by age and height for clothing, making it easy to find pieces that will fit properly as they grow. Girls' shoes are sized separately and follow EU conversion standards. Measure your child in bare feet on a flat surface for the most accurate fit.
Sizing Tips
- Lettered sizes (XS, S, M, etc.) have slightly more wiggle room than numbered sizes, making them a good choice if you are between two sizes.
- Always measure over your underwear and in bare feet for the most accurate results. Do not measure over everyday clothing, which can add bulk.
- Ensure your tape measure is level and snug but not tight against your body — pulling too hard will distort your measurements.
- If you are between sizes, consider your personal fit preference: choose the smaller size if you prefer a more tailored look, or the larger size for a relaxed, comfortable fit.
- Swimwear sizing is not the same as clothing sizing. Always refer to the dedicated swimwear chart to ensure a comfortable fit in the water.
- Accessorize clothes are cut for a modern, contemporary silhouette. If you prefer looser, oversized styles, you may wish to size up.
- For beachwear and swimwear, check whether the item includes any stretch fabric, as this may allow you to size down slightly for a snug, supportive fit.
- Print or save the relevant size chart for quick reference when shopping online, especially when ordering from abroad.
