Size Guide
Finding the perfect fit
Size Guide
Every little one grows at their own pace, so we recommend choosing by your child's current height and weight rather than age alone. The charts below are a starting point. Sizing can vary by style, so when you are between sizes we suggest sizing up.
Find My Size
Pick what you are shopping for, slide to your child's age, and add a measurement for the most accurate match.
Best match: age plus height or weight
Suggested size
Best match: measure the foot, heel to longest toe
Suggested shoe size
Trace it
Stand your child on paper in the afternoon (feet grow during the day) and trace around the bare foot.
Measure it
Measure from the back of the heel to the tip of the longest toe in a straight line.
Both feet
Measure both and use the longer one. A small difference between feet is completely normal.
Sock and tights sizing follows shoe size most reliably
Suggested sock size
| Sock size | Shoe size | Approx. age |
|---|---|---|
| 0 to 6 months | 0 to 3 | Newborn to 6 months |
| 6 to 12 months | 3 to 5 | 6 to 12 months |
| 12 to 24 months | 5 to 7 | 1 to 2 years |
| 2T to 3T | 6 to 11 | 2 to 3 years |
| XS | 10 to 13 | 3 to 5 years |
| S | 13 to 4Y | 5 to 8 years |
| M | 4Y to 7Y | 8 to 12 years |
Sock and tights sizing varies more by brand than clothing does; when a specific brand lists its own range on the product page, trust that first.
Height
Measure from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet, standing straight.
Chest
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms.
Waist
Measure around the natural waistline, keeping the tape comfortably loose.
Weight
For baby sizes, current weight is the most reliable guide to fit.

Kids Dresses, Tops and Bottoms Sizes 4 to 16
All kids clothing, sizes 4 to 16. For dresses and tops, chest is the key measurement. For bottoms like pants, shorts and skirts, go by waist. When the two point to different sizes, choose the larger.

| 4 | 4 to 5 years | 41 to 43 in | 23 in | 21 in |

Fit tips
- When your child falls between two sizes, size up. Most pieces are easier to grow into than out of.
- Smocked and bubble styles tend to run true to size with a relaxed fit.
- Knit performance polos and rompers can fit slimmer, so check the chest measurement before ordering.
- For shoes, measure in the afternoon and use the longer foot; about half an inch of room at the toe is just right.
- For a special occasion on a specific date, choose the size that fits closest to that day rather than ordering ahead.
