    Even for men’s clothes the sizing seems to only really be consistent within the same item, maybe brand. Even though they’re supposed to be measurements you still have to try everything on.

        Being the kid sucks worse

        You’re dragged around the store as a living mannequin, while simultaneously being bored out of your mind

      I was in a clothing store last week that only started at L for mens clothing. Theres also a shoe store closeby that only sells mens shoes for 40 (EU) and above.

      Like wtf, there are plenty of men that are smaller than 180cm and that have small feet. At least give me some options. These are the same stores that complain that everybody orders their shit online nowadays.

        Yeah! Last time I go into a store called “Destination XL.”

        (I’m joking, I saw the rest of your comments about this.)

          No, it was a normal store from a german name brand. They had one jacket in S and one shirt in M. Even the employee said that its just a shitty order policy by their bosses.

              The employee told me that there are tons of other men having the same problem at that store. Just because 80% of your customers wear L or larger doesn’t mean you shouldnt stock any inventory for the 20% that wear S or M.

                Oh, they are just minmaxing you out. I’m not in retail, but my manager always tells me to only go for the easy 80%

      Really? I’ve been buying the same size of trousers since I stopped growing. And I only went up one size for some upper body garments because I put on quite a bit of muscle.

      I bought 4 polo shirts from the same brand, 2 black, 2 white. All of them in small. Black fits perfectly but white seems like its 2 sizes too big. Worst part is that small is their smallest size… But I’m trying to fix it with a reverse diet.
