Mildly Interesting

The problem with brands that offer Plus and larger sizes are usually made for heavier weights, not for high but thinner. Once you abandon Woman's clothes altogether, the problem goes away. It's a shame, but buying clothes become so much simpler, and you get functional pockets as a plus too.

My fiance, a chef, needed new work pants. I found her some that had pockets and she was very happy.

It seems like the sizes have stuck with a normal BMI assumption where that's not the case anymore and most people are overweight so can't find clothes that fit them well without going into plus-sized clothing (which is less fashionable of course).

Slim male teens (i was one, i actually am still a teen (a tiny demographic on lemmy it seems) and slim, but nonbinary now (but that doesn't actually affect my clothes sizing, as i have not done any biological transitioning yet)) have the inverse of this issue: trousers tend to be too big at the waist and hips if you're slim, so almost all options are either too wide or too short. Seems like these big brands are pretty damn stupid (and evil) and only consider median people (by designing everything for them only) and fat people (by labeling fat people stuff as not fat people stuff in order to manipulate fat people into seeing their brand positively).

also the way this page presents information reminds me of Create mod's Ponder feature
