Our general act is to go to the store, but we don’t go to buy clothes every day (usually). In addition, our bodies are constantly changing, so we need to adapt to these as well.
Pretty much everyone knows what size pieces to buy, or not? Not so clear. We are insecure. Yeah, he's been running up a few pounds lately, but that's it? We can ask ourselves the question when, reaching for the usual size, trying to try the piece, we find that it is squeezing, does not come up, cannot be buttoned, and so on. No fairy tales, our size has changed. Let's look further. I like another piece from another brand, but we’re already consciously taking at least one number bigger into the booth. Big, so big that we have the feeling that we could even invite someone else into that piece of clothing to fill it together.
Not only is it annoying that if we like something and want to try it, we attack the test booth with up to three different sizes. It is a much bigger problem in today’s world for everyone as a dream of a perfect body to be confused about how big we are right now.
There is a ready-made size. An average person-sized size chart. But it is not, because everyone is unique. Since then, however, each brand has created its own sizing, which does not make it easier but difficult to identify our own size. We have to use something different for pretty much every brand, so during a test, everything from very small to relatively large can be in the cab.
We’ve been experiencing a cavalcade of sizing for a long time, yet it’s getting harder to limit ourselves in the world of clothes. This is not only a problem because we can get lost in the sea of clothes and until we find the perfect piece for us, we will have many attempts behind us, but we will be insecure about our own bodies. It confuses, upsets and also undermines our self-esteem.
Some brands seem to just sew-sew clothes that are child-sized, reed-thin, and no other kind of people exist. Or at least don’t even wear their clothes that “bigger”. Yes, it really is. The ideal of extravagance, which excludes outsiders, is still present in the fashion industry and this only reinforces the presence of eating disorders and mental problems.
