Burberry

Burberry Size Guide

Burberry is one of Britain’s most iconic luxury fashion houses, founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry in Basingstoke, Hampshire. Renowned worldwide for its signature check pattern, heritage trench coats, and impeccable tailoring, Burberry combines classic British craftsmanship with modern design. The brand’s sizing is primarily based on UK measurements, with corresponding US, Italian (EU/IT), and international alpha-size conversions provided across collections. Burberry generally offers a true-to-size fit across most categories, though fit can vary depending on the silhouette — Heritage trench coats tend to be structured and tailored, slim-fit styles run narrower, and puffer or quilted jackets are cut slightly roomier to accommodate layering. Whether you’re shopping for a classic trench, a Burberry shirt, casual knitwear, or luxury footwear, this comprehensive size guide will help you find your perfect fit across all Burberry men’s, women’s, and children’s collections.

How to Measure

1. Chest/Bust: Stand with your arms relaxed at your sides. Wrap a soft measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest or bust, keeping the tape horizontal and snug but not tight.
2. Waist: Measure around your natural waistline — the narrowest point above your hips. Keep the tape comfortably loose so you can breathe naturally.
3. Hips: Stand with your feet together and measure around the widest part of your hips and buttocks, keeping the tape level.
4. Shoulder Width: Measure straight across the back from one shoulder edge to the other. This is particularly useful for coats and jackets.
5. Sleeve Length: Measure from the shoulder seam down the outside of your arm to your wrist bone.
6. Foot Length (for shoes): Stand on a piece of paper with your heel against a wall. Mark the tip of your longest toe on the paper, then measure the distance from the wall to the mark in centimetres. Compare this measurement against the foot length column in the shoe charts below.
7. Inside Leg (for trousers & jeans): Measure from your crotch down the inside of your leg to the desired hem length.

Product-Specific Sizing Guidance

Burberry Trench Coats & Outerwear

Burberry’s iconic trench coats are the brand’s most sought-after garments, and getting the right size is essential for that classic, tailored silhouette. The Heritage trench coat collection typically fits true to size with a structured profile. If you plan to layer knitwear or blazers underneath, consider sizing up by one size. The slim-fit styles are cut closer to the body and are best suited to those who prefer a sharper, more contemporary look without heavy layering. Quilted and puffer jackets tend to have a more relaxed cut to allow room for winter layers — most customers find their usual size works well in these styles. When choosing a coat size, pay particular attention to your chest and shoulder measurements, as these are the hardest to adjust through alterations. A Burberry size 38 in men’s IT/UK sizing corresponds to a US 38, which is an S/M alpha size with a 38.6″ chest.

Burberry Shirts & Blouses

Burberry shirts generally follow the brand’s standard clothing size charts above. Men’s formal shirts may also list collar size in addition to the alpha or numeric size. For women’s blouses and shirts, the sizing aligns with the women’s tops chart. If you are between sizes, size up for a more relaxed fit or stay true to size for a fitted look. Burberry Brit pieces (now integrated into the main Burberry line) followed the same core sizing conventions.

Burberry Jeans

Women’s Burberry jeans are sized numerically from 24 to 32, referring to the waist measurement in inches. These run fairly true to size. Men’s Burberry jeans generally follow the men’s bottoms size chart with UK/IT numeric sizing. As with most luxury denim, there can be slight stretch in some styles, so always check the fabric composition listed on the product page.

Burberry Trainers & Shoes

Burberry trainers and sneakers are generally considered to fit true to size for both men and women. If you have particularly wide feet, it may be advisable to try a half size up, as some styles can run slightly narrow due to the refined, sleek design of Burberry footwear. Always use the foot length measurement as your most reliable guide — measure both feet and use the longer measurement when consulting the shoe size charts above. For women’s heeled shoes and boots, be aware that pointed-toe styles may feel slightly tighter at the front, so half-sizing up is often recommended.

Kids’ Burberry Clothing

Burberry children’s clothing is typically sized by age and corresponding height. For babies and toddlers (up to 24 months), sizes range from 1M through to 24M based on the child’s age and height. For older children (3Y to 14Y), sizing is based on age and height in centimetres. As children grow at different rates, it is always best to measure your child’s actual height and chest or waist before ordering, rather than relying solely on the age label.

Understanding Burberry’s UK to US Size Conversion

One of the most common questions when shopping Burberry is how to convert between UK and US sizes. For women’s clothing, Burberry’s UK sizing runs approximately two sizes larger than the US equivalent — for example, a UK 8 equals a US 6, a UK 10 equals a US 8, and a UK 14 equals a US 12. For men’s clothing, the UK/IT numeric size (e.g. 46, 48, 50) corresponds to an even US size that is 10 numbers lower (UK/IT 46 = US 36, UK/IT 50 = US 40). For shoes, women’s UK sizes are three sizes below the US equivalent (UK 5 = US 8), while men’s UK sizes are one size below the US equivalent (UK 8 = US 9).

Sizing Tips

• Measure before you buy: Always take fresh body measurements rather than relying on sizes from other brands. Burberry uses UK-based sizing, which differs from US and European standards. Taking your bust, waist, hips, and foot length in both inches and centimetres will make chart comparisons much easier.
• Consider the fit style: Burberry offers Heritage (classic), slim, and relaxed fits across its coat and jacket collections. Check the product description for the intended silhou
