This is the main reason for my general annoyance with lack of size regulation in the fashion industry…

men’s pants are labeled by waist and inseam measurement. women’s pants are labeled by voodoo. even though i do not buy women’s pants, i can recognize this as objectively dumb.

THE NOTES ON THIS

image

because i can’t stress this enough. this is why i don’t let the numbers get to me. as jumpingjacktrash so eloquently said “women’s pants are labeled by voodoo.” 

BUT THISTHISTHISTHISTHIS

Right now, I’m 30 kilos heavier than I was at the end of high school. Now as then, my wardrobe ranges from size 8 to size 16. IT IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS. 

But sizing isn’t even the biggest problem. It’s the way women’s clothes, and especially pants, are cut. I’m 5'9. I have long legs and curvy thighs. Regardless of how my weight has fluctuated - and as stated above, I’ve changed a lot in the past ten years - I can count on one hand the number of pairs of pants I’ve bought that have ACTUALLY FIT MY SHAPE. I call it the Pants Conspiracy, whereby women’s jeans, regardless of their size, have tiny zips, ridiculously low waistlines, and no room for my arse or thighs. Which is basically why I wear skirts almost exclusively these days: I cannot find pants that fit me.

SERIOUSLY IT SHOULD NOT BE SO GODDAMN DIFFICULT.
