Cuban Link Size Guide: Find Your Perfect Fit
Find Your Perfect Cuban Link Chain
Cuban link chains are a statement – no doubt. But which size fits you best? This guide gives you everything you need to know about length, width, and fit, so you can wear your chain with confidence and make it look like it was made just for you.
Whether you’re into bold and flashy or sleek and subtle – this one’s for you.
What Does “Size” Mean for a Cuban Link Chain?
When we talk about size, we’re really talking about three things:
-
Length (in inches): Where the chain sits on your chest
-
Width (in mm): How bold or minimal the chain looks
-
Weight: Heavier chains = more presence (and you’ll feel it)
Your build, outfit, and overall vibe all play a role. A 4mm chain is lightweight and low-key. A 12mm chain? That’s full-on drip.
Cuban Link Chain Size Chart
| Chain Length (inches) | Chain Width (mm) | Style Tip |
|---|---|---|
| 18 | 4 | Sits high on the neck – sleek & subtle |
| 20 | 6 | Super versatile, works with most fits |
| 20 | 8 | Great with a pendant or layered |
| 20 | 10 | Bold & urban – perfect over a tee |
| 22 | 14 | Oversized & trendy – great with streetwear |
| 24 | 14 | Full statement chain – If you like it extra big |
What Width Matches What Body Type?
-
Petite builds: 2–6mm – doesn’t overpower your frame
-
Average builds: 6–10mm – versatile and balanced
-
Broad builds: 10mm+ – adds presence and matches your proportions
💡 Tip: If you’re adding a pendant, make sure the chain is thick enough to carry the weight and still look balanced.
What Length Works With Your Outfits?
-
Crew neck t-shirts: 20–24 inches
-
V-neck shirts: 18–22 inches
-
Open button-downs: 24–28 inches for that full drip look
Do Different Metals Need Different Sizes?
Not really. Size depends more on your body type and style than the metal itself. Whether you go for a gold-plated Cuban link, 925 silver, or stainless steel – the same size rules apply. It’s all about how it fits your aesthetic.
Is 10mm Too Big?
10mm is bold – no question. It’s ideal if you’ve got a broader frame or want that centerpiece chain look. On smaller builds, it can feel oversized, so it's more about confidence and style than rules.
Is 8mm Too Big?
Not at all – 8mm hits that sweet spot. It’s thick enough to stand out, but not too much. It works for most people, most styles, and most occasions. If you want balance between subtle and bold, 8mm is a solid pick.
