Same hips, different labels

Each row is one hip measurement. Read across to see the size each brand’s chart assigns to it. A slash means the measurement sits between two sizes.

  • Lululemon lists separate “contour fit” measurements for some leggings: smaller at the waist and larger at the hip. If you buy a contour style, compare your hips with its own column.
  • Lululemon names leggings by inseam in inches (for example 25″ or 28″), so length is chosen separately from size.

How the converter decides

Each size is reduced to the centre of its published hip range (or the single hip value the brand gives). Your hip measurement — or the hip of the size you already wear — is compared with those centres.

If you are within 30% of the gap to the nearest size, you get that size. In the middle of the gap you see both sizes, because the choice then depends on the fit you want, not on the chart.

Waist is shown as a second opinion. In leggings the hip and seat decide whether the fabric stays opaque and stays up; a waist that points one size smaller usually just means a firmer waistband.

Why brands disagree

There is no shared standard for activewear sizes. A Gymshark Small and a Nike Small are built around different hip measurements, so the same label can fit very differently.

Numeric and letter systems do not line up neatly either: Lululemon uses US numbers 0–20, adidas lists German sizes, and UK stockists use UK numbers.

Cut and fabric add their own differences: compression lines are cut smaller, contour styles move room from the waist to the hips, and soft brushed fabrics relax with wear.

Brand size questions

Is a Lululemon 6 a Small?

By hip measurement a Lululemon 6 (36–37″ hips) is a Small at Nike and Under Armour, between XS and S at adidas and Sweaty Betty, and between XXS and XS at Gymshark, whose chart runs larger. Use the converter with your own hips for a precise answer.

Why is my Gymshark size smaller than my Nike size?

Gymshark’s published hip measurements are larger than Nike’s for the same letter, so many people take one size smaller in Gymshark than in Nike.

Should I convert by waist or hips?

By hips for leggings. Hips and seat decide coverage, opacity and whether the waistband rolls; the waist only changes how firm the band feels.

Does this include petite, tall or plus sizes?

It includes every size each brand lists in its main women’s bottoms chart, including Nike’s 1X–3X. Petite and tall versions change the inseam and rise, not the hip size.

How current are these charts?

Each chart shows the date it was checked against its source. Brands occasionally revise charts, so open the source link before an important order.
