I don't know about that, but I'm all for standardized sizes based on the metric system. No more owning stuff that ranges from XS to XXL.
You buy a pair of jeans - the measurements are width and length in centimeters. Same with everything else.
Seriously, I have shirts that range from M to XXXL. How is this normal? I get it, it's the BS marketing thing where you go in to buy one thing, but "clever marketing" makes you buy 10. NO!!! We live in a very hectic world and tricks like this don't work. They are just an annoyance.
I don't want to spend half an hour trying on shirts, before I find one that fits right.
It's not so much as marketing but standardization of what's considered Small-extra large. A medium in asia would be small in europe.
Of course having the printed measurements help in pants but what's your shoulder measurement? People mostly only know their waist size and how tall their legs are. As for your torso length, shoulders, neck. That shit has been simplified through mass production in sizes that fit the majority of the population that wears it.
It really is more of an issue than it sounds. I'm a medium in most stores, but in others I'm a small, and I'm a large in some, and an XL in some. It's genuinely ridiculous! Nobody wants to change how we're measured, we want there to be a standardized measurement system so we don't have to struggle to find clothes that actually fit us!
Are you for or against American women pushing to change sizes
