About Lindex Sizing

Founded in Sweden in 1954, Lindex is a Scandinavian fashion brand recognised for its effortlessly modern designs, sustainable values, and inclusive collections. The brand specialises in soft, sustainable basics, comfortable and practical lingerie, affordable maternitywear, trendy yet timeless womenswear, and playful, durable kidswear.

However, Lindex uses European (EU) sizing conventions rather than UK sizes, which can cause confusion for British shoppers. An EU 38, for example, doesn't directly convert to a simple UK 10—the fit also depends on the garment cut, fabric stretch, and whether the item is lingerie, maternity, or kidswear. This guide will help you navigate Lindex sizing with confidence and find your exact size across women's, men's, kids', and maternity collections.

How to Measure Yourself

Women's Measurements

Bust/Chest: Place the measuring tape around your body over the fullest part of your bust, making sure the tape sits well under your arms and spans your shoulder blades. Keep the tape parallel to the ground.
Waist: Measure around the slimmest part of your natural waistline—generally the point where your body creases when you bend slightly forwards or where you find it most comfortable to wear your waistbands. Do not pull the tape too tightly.
Hips: Place the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bottom and hips, keeping it parallel to the ground. Ensure the tape is snug but not tight.
Inside Leg (for trousers): Measure from the top of your inside leg at the crotch to the floor. It's better for trousers to be too long than too short, so measure accurately.
Bra Band Size: For lingerie, measure snugly around your ribcage directly under your bust. For cup size, measure around the fullest part of your bust—you can measure with or without a bra, whichever is easiest, but ensure it's non-padded or very lightly padded.

Men's Measurements

Chest: Measure around your chest at its broadest and fullest part, but avoid placing the tape too high under your arms. Keep the tape parallel to the ground and snug but not tight.
Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, at the point your waistband or belt usually sits. Do not pull the tape too tightly—there should be a little room for comfort.
Inside Leg: Measure from the top of your inside leg at the crotch to the floor. Accurate measurement is essential for proper trouser fit.
Collar Size (for shirts): Measure around the base of your neck where your collar would normally sit. The tape should be snug enough that you can fit one finger underneath.

Children's Measurements

Height: Measure from the top of the head down to the ground, ensuring the child is barefoot with heels together and feet flat on the floor. Lindex kidswear often uses height-based sizing (in centimetres).
Chest: Take the tape through the arms and around the fullest part of the chest, keeping it parallel to the ground.
Waist: Place the tape measure around the natural waistline, taking care not to pull it too tightly.
Hips: Place the tape measure around the fullest part of the bottom and hips.
Inside Leg: Measure with shoes on, to approximately 5 cm above the ground for a comfortable fit.

Maternity Clothing Size Chart

Important: Lindex maternity clothing is designed to accommodate a growing bump with gentle, breathable fabrics. Sizes follow standard EU convention but with extra room through the stomach and bust. Pregnancy sizing can vary by trimester, so consider updating your measurements if ordering multiple items across different stages of pregnancy.

XS	6–8	2–4	34–36	32–34	28–30

What's Worth Buying from Lindex

Everyday Basics

Lindex's tees, tanks, and long-sleeved layers are made from organic cotton and tend to run true to size when using EU measurements—but only if you measure accurately. These are excellent staples for minimalist wardrobes and pair well with other pieces.

Tailored Workwear

Structured trousers, wide-leg silhouettes, and relaxed blazers are consistently strong performers in the Lindex range. However, be mindful of waist-to-hip ratios, as these pieces are often cut with specific proportions in mind. Always check the specific measurements for each style.

Soft Lingerie

With non-wired bras, bralettes, and seamless underwear, Lindex excels at comfort-led lingerie. The brand prioritises soft fabrics and practical designs. However, sizes can differ between styles within the lingerie range, so pay close attention to individual product measurements rather than relying solely on your standard bra size.

Maternity Clothing

Lindex maternity wear is gentle on skin and thoughtfully designed for bump accommodation. The fabric choices support growing bodies without restriction. Remember that pregnancy sizing varies across trimesters—consider updating your size as your pregnancy progresses to ensure continued comfort.

Children's Clothing

Lindex kidswear uses height-based sizing in centimetres, which makes it straightforward once you know your child's height. The pieces are playful, durable, and designed for active wear. Always prioritise height measurements over age when selecting sizes, as children develop at different rates.

How to Find Your Bra Size

Measure your band size: Measure snugly around your ribcage directly under your bust. This measurement in inches (rounded to the nearest whole number) is your band size—for example, 32 inches = 32 band size.
Measure your bust: Measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust. You can measure with or without a bra, but if you wear one, ensure it's non-padded or very lightly padded.
Calculate your cup size: Subtract your band measurement from your bust measurement. Each inch of difference equals one cup size: 1 inch = A, 2 inches = B, 3 inches = C, 4 inches = D, 5 inches = DD/E, 6 inches = F, 7 inches = G, 8 inches = H.

Band Size (UK)	Band Size (cm)	Cup A	Cup B	Cup C	Cup D	Cup DD/E
28	60	28A	28B	28C	28D	28DD
30	65	30A	30B	30C	30D	30DD
32	70	32A	32B	32C	32D	32DD
34	75	34A	34B	34C	34D	34DD
36	80	36A	36B	36C	36D	36DD
38	85	38A	38B	38C	38D	38DD
40	90	40A	40B	40C	40D	40DD

Lindex Sizing Tips

Always measure, never guess: Lindex uses EU sizing conventions, which don't convert cleanly to UK sizes. Taking accurate body measurements is the only reliable way to find your correct size. Use a soft measuring tape, ensure it's parallel to the ground, and don't pull it too tightly.
Check individual product measurements: Fit varies significantly between collections and individual styles within Lindex's range. A top that fits perfectly in size M may differ from trousers in the same size due to different fabric stretch, cut, and intended silhouette. Always check the specific measurements listed for each product.
Consider the fabric and stretch: Lindex's organic cotton basics often run true to size, but pieces with elastane or technical fabrics may have different fits. Tightly woven fabrics tend to fit smaller, whilst stretchy materials may have more give. Factor fabric content into your size selection.
Lingerie sizes can differ between styles: Lindex's non-wired bras, bralettes, and seamless ranges may have different fits within the same size. Some styles run tighter or looser than others. If you're trying a new lingerie style from Lindex, cross-reference the specific product measurements rather than relying on your standard bra size alone.
For maternity wear, update as you progress: Pregnancy changes throughout each trimester. If ordering multiple maternity pieces from Lindex at different points in your pregnancy, consider remeasuring every few months to ensure continued comfort and proper fit. Bump size and bust expansion vary significantly from trimester to trimester.
For children's clothing, prioritise height over age: Children grow at vastly different rates, and Lindex kidswear is primarily sized by height in centimetres. A 5-year-old child may wear size 104, 110, or 116 depending on their actual height. Always measure your child's height barefoot with heels together and feet flat on the floor, then select based on that measurement rather than age.
Be mindful of waist-to-hip ratios in tailored pieces: Lindex's structured workwear—such as trousers and blazers—is cut with specific body proportions in mind. If you have a significant difference between your waist and hip measurements (or chest and waist for men), pay extra attention to whether a particular style's cut will accommodate your shape. Some designs are more generous through the hips, whilst others are fitted.
Consider the garment's intended fit: Lindex produces both tailored and relaxed-fit pieces. A relaxed-fit tee in size M will feel very different from a fitted style in the same size. Read product descriptions carefully and check fit images or customer reviews to understand whether a particular item is cut slim, regular, or oversized before ordering.

Common Sizing Mistakes to Avoid

Guessing your EU size without measuring: UK sizes don't convert cleanly to EU sizes, and eyeballing your measurements will often lead to incorrect orders. Spend five minutes taking proper measurements—it
