The math
How to convert US to UK
Women: EU = 2 × W − 18, US = EU − 32, UK = EU − 28, Italian = EU + 4. Men: EU = W + 16, French = W + 8, US and UK = W.
Example: 6 US = 10 UK.

In practice
When you’d convert US sizes to UK sizes
A US size on a British site. Women: add 4, so US 6 is UK 10, US 8 is UK 12 and US 10 is UK 14. Men: nothing to do, the waist number is the same in both countries.
Common mistake: Assuming a US 8 is a UK 8 because both are numbers. For women the UK is four higher: a US 8 is a UK 12. Only for men do they match.
Women, US to UK: 0 becomes 4, 2 becomes 6, 4 becomes 8, 6 becomes 10, 8 becomes 12, 10 becomes 14 and 12 becomes 16. Men: 30 stays 30, 32 stays 32 and 34 stays 34.
