Konges Sløjd Size Guide: EU Sizing Made Simple for US Parents

The #1 question we get about Konges Sløjd isn't "is it cute" (it always is) — it's "what size do I order?" Konges Sløjd is a Danish brand, so everything is labeled in European sizing: centimeters and ages like "92" or "104" instead of the "2T" or "4T" American parents are used to. Once you know the conversion, it's actually simple. Here's the breakdown.

Clothing: go by height, not just age

Konges Sløjd sizes clothing by your child's height in cm, with an age label as a rough guide. Because kids grow at different rates, height is the more reliable number — grab a wall measurement before you order if your child runs tall or petite for their age.

Our tip: if your child is between two sizes, size up — Konges Sløjd's cotton pieces are made to be worn a full season, and most styles have room to grow.

Shoes: sized in EU, but measure the foot to be safe

Shoes and swim shoes run on EU shoe sizing, which doesn't map cleanly to US sizes the way clothing does. The most reliable method is measuring your child's foot length in cm and matching it to the chart:

How to measure: stand your child's foot on a piece of paper, mark the heel and longest toe, then measure the distance in cm. Measure in the evening — feet swell slightly over the course of a day, so you'll get the truer (larger) number.

For swim shoes specifically (Aster & Manuca styles), sizing runs in two-size bands — for example, size "24–25" fits a 15.3 cm foot — so there's a bit more built-in room.

Hats: measured by head circumference

Wrap a soft measuring tape around the widest part of your child's head (just above the eyebrows and ears) for the most accurate fit.

Quick answers

Does Konges Sløjd run true to size?
Generally yes, though knitwear and sweatshirts tend to have a relaxed, slightly oversized fit by design — that's the brand's Scandinavian silhouette, not a sizing error.

My child is exactly between two height ranges — what do I order?
Size up. It's easier to roll a cuff or wait a few weeks than to squeeze into something too small.

Do shoes and clothing use the same size scale?
No — clothing is sized by age/height in cm, shoes are sized by EU shoe size. They're two separate systems, so check both charts separately.
