Tracksuit size: how to choose the right one?

Choosing your tracksuit size comes down to two things: your height in centimeters and the fit you want, fitted like a player or looser for everyday wear. At Elite Fanstore, adult tracksuits range from S, for heights of 165 to 170 cm, to 2XL, for heights of 185 to 190 cm.

The jacket and pants are sold together in a single size: you canโ€™t make up for a top thatโ€™s too tight with a larger bottom. Hereโ€™s how to read the chart, take your measurements, and decide, using figures from the storeโ€™s guides.

In summary

Choose the size that matches your height, check the chest measurement flat against a sweatshirt, and size up for a looser fit.

  • S for 165 to 170 cm, M for 170 to 175 cm, L for 175 to 180 cm, XL for 180 to 185 cm, 2XL for 185 to 190 cm.
  • Each size adds 2 cm to all measurements.
  • If youโ€™re between sizes, choose the larger size.
  • No 3XL in adult tracksuits.
  • Kids: from ages 5/6 (115 cm) to 13/14 (165 cm), then adult S.
The storeโ€™s chart

How to read a tracksuit size guide

First, check the โ€œyour heightโ€ column, in centimeters, then check the chest and lengths. The chart follows the adult tracksuit size guide, the reference for our adult jacket and pants sets.

Adult tracksuit: garment measurements in centimeters, based on the storeโ€™s size guide. Chest measured flat (double it for the full circumference). Allow for a 2 to 4 cm variation.
Size Your height Top length Chest width, laid flat Sleeves Trousers
S 165 to 170 cm 67 cm 50 cm 72 cm 98 cm
M 170 to 175 cm 69 cm 52 cm 74 cm 100ย cm
L 175 to 180 cm 71 cm 54 cm 76 cm 102 cm
XL 180 to 185 cm 73 cm 56 cm 78ย cm 104 cm
2XL 185 to 190 cm 75 cm 58 cm 80ย cm 106 cm
  • These are garment measurements, not body measurements. Chest width is measured flat, from one seam to the other under the sleeves: the Sโ€™s 50 cm measurement makes a 100 cm circumference. Compare it with a garment laid flat on a table.
  • Lhe increments are consistent. Each size adds 2 cm to all measurements and shifts the recommended height range by 5 cm.
  • Allow for some variation. The guide indicates a possible 2 to 4 cm difference: thereโ€™s no need to choose down to the nearest centimeter.

The guide describes a sporty, slightly fitted cut, with one simple rule:

Your usual size for a player fit, one size up for a training fit.

To coordinate the pieces and shoes, see our tips for styling a tracksuit.

Practical guide

Take your measurements in three minutes, without a fitting room

All you need is a tape measure, a sweatshirt and a pair of joggers that fit you well: comparing them with your own clothes is still the most reliable method.

1
Your height, barefoot

Stand with your back against a wall, place a book flat on your head, mark the wall with a pencil, then measure from the floor to the mark.

2
Chest width

Lay out a sweatshirt that fits you without stretching the fabric, then measure from one side seam to the other, just below the sleeves.

3
Top length

From the highest point of the shoulder, next to the collar, to the bottom of the garment.

4
Trousers length

On a pair of joggers that fits you, measure from the waistband to the bottom of the leg along the outer seam.

Good to know

Does your height not match your build? Since both pieces share one size, choose based on the piece that feels most restrictive, usually the top. The same approach applies to jerseys, as explained in our guide to finding your football jersey size.

Special cases

Between sizes, short or tall build: what should you do?

When in doubt, the rule is to choose the larger size. Six situations call for a closer look.

In betweenRight between two sizesAt 170, 175, 180 or 185 cm, choose the larger size, then check against your chest measurement when laid flat.
Short buildUnder 165 cmS (98 cm trousers) is still the smallest adult size. If you're slim, junior size 13/14 may fit better.
Tall buildOver 190 cm2XL is designed for heights up to 190 cm: compare its lengths with your clothes.

One pieceTop onlyThe tracksuit top size chart uses the same measurements, from 50 to 58 cm across the chest when laid flat.
OverThe windbreakerSame measurements, plus the shoulders (43 to 51 cm). For a sweatshirt, choose one size up.

For winter, choose a 2026/27 France team windbreaker, in sky blue with a hood, using the jackets and windbreakers size chart; find the rest of the selection among our football jackets and windbreakers. To find out what to wear underneath, read how to layer a jersey, base layer, and jacket when itโ€™s cold.

And beyond 2XL?

Tracksuits are not currently available in 3XL. If you wear 3XL or 4XL, the jersey is the next best option: the fan jersey size guide goes up to 4XL, as explained in our plus-size football jersey guide, from XXL to 4XL. In warmer weather, a training top and shorts set has its own size guide (49 to 59ย cm chest width from S to 2XL), as do football shorts sold separately.

For younger children

Childrenโ€™s tracksuit sizes: ages 5 to 14

For a child, choose based on their height in centimeters rather than their age, and go up a size if theyโ€™re growing quickly, as recommended in the childrenโ€™s tracksuit size guide.

Childrenโ€™s tracksuit: garment measurements in centimeters, based on the storeโ€™s guide (sizes 10 to 18 in the guide, displayed by age on the product pages). Tolerance of 2 to 4ย cm.

An 8-year-old child who is 138ย cm tall would therefore wear a 9/10-year size. With each size up, the recommended height increases by about 10ย cm, chest by 2ย cm, and trouser length by 2 to 3ย cm.

The jump from size 13/14 to adult S is the biggest: 9 cm more in trouser length and 3.5 cm more in sleeve length. So a teenager who is 165 cm or taller should switch to S; below that height, especially if they're slim, size 13/14 will fit better.

As for styles, the children's football tracksuits cover the major clubs, from the PSG children's training tracksuit, black with blue shoulders to the OM children's tracksuit, navy blue with turquoise stripes, in sizes from 5/6 to 13/14.

We're here to answer

Frequently asked questions

How do I know what tracksuit size to get?

Start with your height in centimeters: the store's guide recommends S for 165 to 170 cm and 2XL for 185 to 190 cm, with one size for every 5 cm. Then check the flat chest width of a sweatshirt that fits you well, from 50 cm for S to 58 cm for 2XL.

Do football tracksuits run small?

No, it has a slightly fitted, athletic cut that's closer to the body than joggers. Your usual size gives you a player-style fit; for a looser fit, go one size up.

What tracksuit size should I get if I'm 1.80 m tall?

At 1.80 m, you're right on the line between L (175 to 180 cm) and XL (180 to 185 cm). The guide recommends going one size up, so choose XL. For a looser fit, go for 2XL.

What tracksuit size should a 14-year-old wear?

It depends on height, not age. The junior 13/14 size is designed for heights of 155 to 165 cm, with 89 cm trousers. Above 165 cm, go for adult S, with 98 cm trousers.

Are there 3XL football tracksuits?

Not available in the store at the moment: adult tracksuits go up to 2XL, with a flat chest width of 58 cm. For a larger build, some supporter-style jerseys are available up to 4XL.

The right tracksuit for your size

Tracksuit size is first determined by height in centimeters, then confirmed by measuring the chest width across a garment that fits you well. Choose your usual size for a player-style fit, or go one size up for a training look: all that's left is to choose your club's colors.
