Unisex and men's sizing are the same chart on Bella+Canvas, there is nothing to convert between them. Women's sizing is the one that actually changes systems: it runs on a dress-size scale with five different fit categories, not the chest-inches scale unisex and men's sizes use.
"Unisex" does not mean a size that splits the difference between men's and women's. On Bella+Canvas's own official chart, the Men's/Unisex sizing is one single chest-circumference scale, used for both labels. Women's-cut garments from the same brand are sized on a completely different system, dress sizes, and the fit varies by garment style (Jersey and Rib, Relaxed, Slouchy, Flowy, Boxy), not by chest inches alone.
Bella+Canvas Men's/Unisex Chest Chart
| Size | Chest (in) | Chest (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| S | 34-37 | 86-94 |
| M | 38-41 | 97-104 |
| L | 42-45 | 107-114 |
| XL | 46-49 | 117-124 |
| 2XL | 50-53 | 127-135 |
This is the same chart Bella+Canvas labels "Men's/Unisex." There is no separate men's-only chart on this brand, unisex and men's are identical.

Source for both tables: Bella+Canvas's own official size chart page, fetched live 2026-09-02. Bella+Canvas does not publish a direct chest-inches equivalency between the unisex scale and the women's dress-size scale, so this table is not a precise size-for-size crosswalk, it is each system's real numbers side by side.
How to Actually Compare a Unisex Size to a Women's Size
Since Bella+Canvas does not publish a stated conversion between the two scales, the reliable way to compare is by chest measurement, not by size label. Measure the actual chest circumference the unisex size fits (from the table above), then check which women's fit category and dress size lands on that same chest measurement using that garment's own product page. A size label match between two different systems is not guaranteed to mean the same chest fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a unisex size the same as a men's size?
On Bella+Canvas, yes. Their Men's/Unisex chart is one single chest-circumference scale, used for both labels. There is no separate men's-only size chart on this brand.
Does a unisex medium equal a women's medium?
Not directly. Bella+Canvas's unisex sizing runs on chest inches (a unisex M fits 38-41 inches), while their women's sizing runs on dress sizes that vary by fit category. The brand does not publish a stated conversion between the two, so they should be compared by actual chest measurement, not by matching the letter or size label.

Why does women's sizing have multiple fit types?
Because different garment styles are cut differently. Bella+Canvas alone lists five women's fit categories, Jersey and Rib, Relaxed, Slouchy, Flowy, and Boxy, and each one maps to a different dress-size range for the same letter size.
What is the biggest unisex size Bella+Canvas makes?
2XL, fitting a 50 to 53 inch chest, per their own official Men's/Unisex chart fetched live for this article.
