Clothing is measured in different ways, with women’s 2xl and xxl not being the same as men’s 2xl and xxl clothing. Although xxl and 2x seem like they should measure a size that’s about the same, these two sizes are actually quite different To find the right fit, it’s a good idea to take all of the differences into consideration and think about what size will suit you. Then, a 2xl is the next size up from that Apparently, clothes with an xxl label are cut in the exact same way as smaller sizes in terms of dimensions, but just slightly bigger/longer in every direction. A 2xl garment is cut differently
In fact, it's half a size bigger than an xxl The cut of the garment is also different The 2xl is cut to be roomier for those who are obese and have larger curves So, while the xxl seems like it should be equal to the 2xl they are in fact two different sizes. The difference between xxl and 2xl becomes even more complex when adding new dimensions like w (women’s) or t (tall, big and tall sizes) We break down tall sizes vs big sizes here
The real difficulty in understanding this question stems from the lack of any industry standard. Xxl and 2xl aren’t just different ways to say the same size—they often represent two distinct fits designed for different body shapes And the fashion world hasn’t exactly been clear about it. Xxl is one size larger than xl, while 2xl is half a size larger than xxl
