Nike Size Chart

Activewear · women's

Nike women's apparel is built around an alpha sizing system (XS to 2XL) that maps to standard US numeric sizes, with body measurements published as ranges. A women's size Medium fits a bust of roughly 90–96.5cm, a natural waist of 73.5–80cm, and hips of 98–104cm. The most important thing to know about Nike sizing is that the brand labels every garment with a specific fit — Standard, Slim, Loose, or Oversized — in the product's Size & Fit panel. Standard-fit pieces run true to size, Slim and compression Dri-FIT styles fit snug, and Loose or Oversized cuts run large, so consider sizing down on those. Because Nike sells globally, the Australian site shows the same body measurements with AU garment labels. When buying Nike secondhand, always check the listed garment-fit type alongside the size tag, since two same-size items can fit very differently.

Nike uses alpha sizing (XS–2XL) mapped to US numeric. The brand publishes in inches; centimetres below are converted.

How Nike fits

Nike apparel runs true to size in its Standard fit, but every garment is labelled Standard, Slim, Loose or Oversized. Slim and compression Dri-FIT styles fit snug; Loose and Oversized cuts run large — size down on those.

Nike sizing — frequently asked questions

Does Nike clothing run true to size?

Nike apparel runs true to size in its Standard fit, but the brand labels every garment Standard, Slim, Loose or Oversized in the Size & Fit panel. Slim and compression Dri-FIT pieces fit snug, while Loose and Oversized cuts run large, so size down on those. Always check the fit type, not just the size.

What is a Nike women's Medium in cm?

A Nike women's Medium fits a bust of roughly 90–96.5cm, a waist of 73.5–80cm and hips of 98–104cm. These centimetre ranges are converted from Nike's official inch chart.

How should I check sizing when buying Nike secondhand?

Check the garment-fit type (Standard, Slim, Loose or Oversized) alongside the size tag, since two items with the same size can fit very differently. If the listing doesn't state it, measuring the garment flat against the chart above is the safest check.

How to measure Nike against your own wardrobe

The most reliable way to check fit is to compare Nike's chart above to an item you already own. Lay it flat and measure in centimetres — see the full how-to-measure guide for step-by-step instructions.
