extrasmall

Extrasmall is a standard clothing size designation used to describe garments intended for individuals with smaller body measurements than the small size. It is commonly abbreviated as XS or spelled out as “extra small” on product labels. The term is used across men's, women's, and unisex lines, as well as some children's ranges in certain brands. Because sizing practices vary by brand, region, and garment type, extrasmall does not correspond to a universal set of measurements.

In practice, extrasmall sits at the smallest end of the adult sizing spectrum, with some brands also offering smaller options such as XXS. Garment fit depends on factors such as cut, fabric yield, and intended silhouette, so actual measurements for chest, waist, hip, or length can differ between labels. Consumers are advised to consult individual brand size charts and try-on guides rather than assuming a fixed measurement for extrasmall.

Beyond apparel, the term extra small is used in other contexts to denote the smallest standard option in a category. In technology and design, “extra small” or the abbreviation XS may describe small-scale interfaces, fonts, or breakpoints in responsive layouts. The concept remains tied to the idea of the smallest conventional size within a given system, alongside related terms such as small (S) and extra-large (XL).
