Avete una guida taglie?

Do you have a size guide?

Pronunciation

'Guida' — GWEE-da. The 'gu' is like 'gw'.

When to use it

Ask in any shop, especially when buying online or when the sizing system is unfamiliar. A size guide ('guida taglie' or 'tabella taglie') shows measurements and corresponding sizes for the specific brand.

What it means

'Guida taglie' or 'tabella delle taglie' is a size chart. 'Avete' (do you have — voi form) is standard for addressing a shop. Size guides compare measurements (chest, waist, hips) to the brand's size labels. Essential when shopping in an unfamiliar brand.

Is the size guide on the website?

For online shopping.

Come si misura per questa marca?

Mini Dialogue

Cliente: Non conosco le taglie di questa marca — avete una guida taglie? Commessa: Sì, eccola. Vede — la colonna sinistra è la taglia, quella destra le misure in centimetri. Cliente: Quindi con novantasei di petto porto la L? Commessa: Esatto.

Customer: I don't know this brand's sizes — do you have a size guide? Assistant: Yes, here you are. You see — the left column is the size, the right column the measurements in centimetres. Customer: So with a ninety-six chest I take an L? Assistant: Exactly.

Cultural Note

Italian fashion brands are often slow to standardise sizing across collections, even within the same brand. The size guide for a summer linen collection may differ from the same brand's winter knitwear. Always check the specific guide for each product category.
