European Size 48 typically refers to a clothing size for men, equivalent to a medium or large in many other sizing systems. This size is often used in countries that follow the European sizing standard, which is based on body measurements in centimeters. For example, a Size 48 jacket usually fits a chest measurement of approximately 96-100 cm. In women's clothing, European Size 48 corresponds to a larger size, often considered a plus size. It generally fits a bust measurement of around 104-108 cm. Understanding these sizes is important for shopping, especially when comparing with other systems like US sizes or UK sizes.
