Sizes shown use Mayoral’s girls’/unisex chart where the brand splits by gender; boys’ sizes at the same number can run slightly taller.

In short

Where the number just works. At 0-1M, 1-2M, 2-4M, 4-6M, 6-9M, 9Y, Mayoral lines up with every brand we track — the size carries straight over.

Where labels drift. The exceptions are the “strangers” above — e.g. at size 6Y, Bonpoint, Il Gufo, Converse Kids cut the same number differently. Check those before you trust the label.

Bottom line: for most sizes, a Mayoral number is a safe bet elsewhere — measure once, then double-check only the handful of “stranger” brands above.

Fit & the transitions that trip parents up

Mayoral-specific things the size number alone won’t tell you — drawn from its own charts.

Leans small and slim — size up

Roughly two in three fit comments say Mayoral comes up small, so sizing up one (sometimes two) is the common advice.

European sizing, with the height shown

Mayoral is a Spanish brand labelled by age with the height alongside it, so size to your child's height rather than the age.

What shoppers say about the fit

Community consensus

Shopper opinion · not Little & Youth’s measurement

This is what parents report anecdotally — crowd sentiment, not a Little & Youth determination. Our sizing above is computed from Mayoral’s own published chart; the notes here come from public parent discussion.

Mayoral leans small and slim — most parents who comment on fit size up, but the sample is thin. Across Mumsnet, Reddit, an Imamother thread and Mayoral UK’s own Trusted Shops reviews, roughly two in three fit comments say the clothes come up small (‘size up at least one, usually two’ from a Scandinavian parent; ‘now running much smaller than my old size 4’), with a minority calling it true to size or even generous. What everyone agrees on is the tailored, slim European cut: adjustable waists make it a favourite for petite and long-skinny kids, one parent found trousers too big in the waist for a sturdy boy, and the intermediate baby sizes (1–2, 2–4 months) help small babies. If your child is average-to-sturdy, go up a size.

Based on anecdotal discussion from multiple publicly available online sources; your experience may differ.

Should you buy Mayoral?

Consider it if…

  • You want smart, traditional European occasion wear — Mumsnet parents call the quality 'really good' and the outfits 'nice, smart, traditional'.
  • You have a petite or long-and-skinny child — adjustable waists and a slim cut are the recurring praise, and one parent found age 16 fits a slim 13-year-old.
  • You want fine-grained baby sizes — intermediate 1–2 and 2–4 month sizes help small or premature babies.

Think twice if…

  • Your child is average or sturdy — most fit comments say it comes up small; plan to size up.
  • You need consistent sizing across seasons — one long-time buyer says newer pieces run smaller than older ones, and Trusted Shops reviews flag inconsistency.
  • You want rugged everyday play clothes — it's tailored, mid-priced occasion and school wear; a couple of parents report zips and quality control letting a piece down.

Skip the cross-referencing — let Little & Youth do it.

A few things parents ask that the chart won’t tell you

Does Mayoral run small?

Mostly, yes — about two-thirds of the fit comments we found say it comes up small or slim, and the usual advice is to size up one (a Scandinavian parent says one to two). A minority call it true to size or generous, so it's a lean, not a rule.

Is Mayoral good for slim kids?

Yes — that's the strongest consensus. Adjustable waistbands and a tailored cut make it a go-to for petite and long-skinny children; one parent of a solidly built boy found the trousers too big in the waist instead.

How do Mayoral baby sizes work?

By age band with a height in cm, including in-between sizes such as 1–2 months (60 cm) and 2–4 months, which parents of small babies find useful. Several say the baby range in particular runs 'a little on the small side'.

What measurements do I need to size Mayoral accurately?

Mayoral publishes height, chest, waist, hip, head in its size chart. Height is the primary driver, and the chest/waist figures let you confirm body fit for a child between sizes.

Do Mayoral boys’ and girls’ sizes fit the same?

From the bigger sizes up, Mayoral publishes separate girls’ and boys’ charts, so the same number can differ by gender. The figures on this page use Mayoral’s girls’/unisex chart.

How do Mayoral’s shoe sizes work?

Mayoral carries kids’ shoes alongside its clothing. Kids’ shoe sizes go by foot length rather than age, and the same size number isn’t cut the same from brand to brand — so measure your child’s foot and check it against the chart. See how every kids’ shoe brand runs and how wide each is cut on our kids’ shoe sizing guide.

Where do I buy Mayoral?

Mayoral is sold on its own site and on Amazon, so you can pick the marketplace you prefer.
