NYC Sample Sale Sizing Guide — International Size Conversions 2026
Sizing is one of the most critical factors in NYC sample sale shopping. With no fitting rooms at most events, arriving with accurate knowledge of your measurements across multiple international systems can be the difference between a great purchase and an expensive mistake. This guide covers every sizing system used at NYC sample sales. For what's on now, see our NYC Sample Sales This Week guide.
What You Need to Know
Know your measurements in cm — not just your label size
Size labels at sample sales are unreliable. Have your bust, waist, hips, and inseam in centimetres on your phone. Measure the actual garment on the rack for the most accurate fit assessment.
French brands: Sandro and Maje run one size small
FR 34 = US 2, FR 36 = US 4, FR 38 = US 6. Sandro and Maje tend to run slim — if you are between sizes, size up.
Italian brands: Marni, Canali use IT/EU sizing
IT 38 = US 4 women's. IT 46 = US 36 men's (suits). Marni silhouettes are often deliberately oversized — measure the garment rather than relying on the size label.
Footwear: always know your EU size
Aquazzura, René Caovilla use EU sizing. EU 37 = US 7, EU 38 = US 8, EU 39 = US 9. Bring your EU size to any luxury footwear sample sale.
