(finding the right size and the right fit is a challenge)
What’s in a size, anyway? Why are clothing sizes so
different when they are the same? Forbes Living wants to know why one size is
not the same across names brands.
If a woman were to walk into a department store and try on
three pairs of jeans all in the same size, would they all fit the same? No,
they would not. Many clothing manufacturers and designers use their own sizing
specifications as a marketing ploy. If a size 12 from Lucky Brand fits great, a
size 12 from Levi’s may not.
An average women’s size 12 can vary as much as 1 to 3 inches
in the waist of jeans, and to 3 inches in the hips. This is why it is important
to find the right size in the right clothing line and stick to it. Sizing
standards are specific to the brand and not to the standard size itself. Forbes Living TV knows that most of us have a favorite brand of jeans and know which
size fits us best. We tend to be loyal to those, but occasionally want
something a little jazzier for evenings out. This is when it pays to take the
time to try on different brands. Find
one or two that fit and look the best and grab a few pairs in different washes.
You’re good to go then.
