XS stands for Extra small, a classified ad abbreviation.

Denotes the smallest standard letter size in many clothing lines, below S (small). It appears on garment tags, size charts and resale listings.

Example: Yoga leggings, women's XS, high-waisted, black, NWOT.

Usage notes

Letter sizes vary by brand and region, and "vanity sizing" has shifted many labels smaller over time, so an XS from one brand may fit like an S from another. Some brands add XXS below it. Children's clothing uses separate numeric or age-based scales.
