How to choose the right size for your riding clothes
This page explains how to choose the right size for your horse riding wear.
Our staff, who are knowledgeable about equestrian equipment, will provide clear explanations to customers who are unsure which size to choose when purchasing LEXIA's equestrian wear.
Sizes vary by brand
Most horse riding wear is made by overseas brands, but the sizes are written differently depending on the country of manufacture. For example, German manufacturers use EU sizes, British manufacturers use UK sizes, and American manufacturers use US sizes. There is no uniformity in the size notation.
We have compiled a comparison table based on the main size notations of manufacturers sold at Lexia.
I hope you will find this information useful.
| Global Size | UK | EU |
| XS | 6 | 34 |
| S | 8 | 36 |
| M | 10 | 38 |
| L | 12 | 40 |
Tips for choosing the size
The key to riding wear is to choose the right size that fits you perfectly.
This is because if you choose a loose top or culottes, the hem can get caught while riding or working, which can be very dangerous.
Another benefit of choosing the right size is that it makes your body lines look neater when riding, giving you a more beautiful riding style, and makes it easier to check your riding posture during lessons.
Try to choose a size that fits your body as snugly as possible.
How to choose tops/outerwear
As mentioned earlier, when choosing a riding top, try to choose one that fits as snugly as possible.
For Lexia products, it is best to choose a size one or two sizes smaller than your usual size.
Example) A female staff member with height 160cm and weight 47kg
UK size: XS
EU size: 36
It fits just right when worn.
Basically, it is worn tucked into riding culottes, so the long hem is not a big deal.

| S | 8 | 36 | M |
| M | 10 | 38 | L |
| L | 12 | 40 | XL |
If you choose an outerwear that is just the right size, it will be tight when you wear something underneath, so choose one size larger.
How to choose culottes/leggings
