I've got a pair of 36 and 46 that both fit. Usually shoes are fairly normalized, like an 11 usually fits across the board for me, but I got a pair of dress shoes one time and needed an 8. I put on an 11 and they were like clown shoes.
Dress pants for me are a shot in the dark. I'll find 40" waists that I cant put my hand in my pocket and then I'll find a 36 that both hands fit in fine and fit well. And I never get anything listed as skinny, I just always assume my phone would just bend around my leg at that point. The brand name doesn't even matter, same brand will have different fits even in the same pant "style."
Tshirts are a shit show because I'm not skinny anymore. If it is going to not show my stomach when I raise my arms I'd need like a 3XL, but if I get a 3XL it is extremely loose everywhere because a large or XL is a more proper fit width wise.
