 Clothing and shoe sizes vary between countries in Europe. Now, if you are a typical UK shape and size, be prepared to buy most clothes in Italy in size L or XL! Do not get harassed by this, its just the way it is. Take a look around you at the Italian people and you will see that many of them are about a size 8 at the most ranging from the teenage kids to the older generation!
In my experience of clothes shopping in Italy, trying on jeans here is what I would imagine to be the equivalent of forcing your legs into the sleeves of a well fitted shirt (no I am not in the habit of trying this!) I did however eventually find shops that catered for someone slightly larger than a twiglet! As with any clothes shopping, no-one sees the size label and make sure you buy something that fits you well and feels comfortable on, this in itself will leave you feeling great!
Remember that clothing/shoe size can vary depending on the designer and make of clothing. Always try before you buy!
