briefs and swimwear sizes
Briefs and swimwear sizing often follows dress sizing – 8, 10, 12, etc. Some brands, however, use a different system, sizing their briefs as 1, 2, 3, 4 and . Many items are also available in small, medium and large, the equivalent dress size is given on the product page.
Sizing does vary from brand to brand but as a very general rule of thumb, European swimwear tends to come up slightly smaller than UK swimwear, American styles slightly bigger.
