Are clothes getting bigger or is it just me? 5'2,160lbs, size 8, and fitting smalls???

@yakob123 I’m 5’1” and around 93 pounds and I basically can’t find clothes these days. I used to love Target but XS are huge now. I can only wear Hollister 00 jeans. I’m lucky my ass is big or XS running shorts would fall off, it’s insane.

@jackreid99 I’m the exact same, did some online shopping the other day and returned 90% of it. The XS bottoms were mostly too big; I looked like a kid in ill-fitting adult’s clothes. I kept a pair of shorts with drawstrings (otherwise held up by the sheer willpower of ass) and a skirt you could tie on the side. Thank god for conveniently adjustable clothes.

@yakob123 Yes . Its so hard to find the right size. Went to the mall today and the clothes were so ugly or ridiculously expensive.

@angelsanon It’s not the best time for middle-low
Class fashion right now IMO. Designer classic stuff that I can’t afford in the only stuff I really
Like out there right now

@yakob123 yep, clothes are bigger now, especially within the last few years. i started 2023 as a size 6 and sometimes 8 at 170 pounds. i’m now 135 pounds and a 00 in american eagle, hollister, frame, and madewell jeans. i wear 2xs shirts from aritzia. however, i know for a fact that i was in a size 4 in high school at 119 pounds, so clothes got bigger. i’m wondering what the hell 5’0” 100 pound girls are wearing. i suppose they thrift a lot (i do as well, i much prefer it over buying new clothes since things were made with more quality back in the day), buy from the kids’ section, or simply opt for the baggier look.

@marieflore American Eagle!? We had to be bone thin to wear those jeans in high school. I may go grab a pair for an ego boost

 

[caitlin1989]

@yakob123 That's where I have to buy all of my pants now

 

[medifast1]

@yakob123 Sizes are def getting bigger.

I have a pair of pants that are size 5 but from 10 years ago. They fit a little tighter than my Size 2 jeans I bought this year.

I’m 5’2. 130lbs.

 

[yakob123]

@medifast1 Thanks for confirming! I knew it.

 

[papi_rico]

@yakob123 Cheaper the clothes the more generous the sizes!

 

[yakob123]

@papi_rico True! I need a xs in fashion nova

 

[trying_to_make_it]

@yakob123 From personal experience, generic sizing is getting MASSIVE and VARIABLE.

I’m 5’2” 125, super lean, and I can fit into XS items and then have to buy L items also.

It. Is. So. Frustrating.

@yakob123 they are getting bigger. 4’10” and 90lb and most smallest sizes don’t even FIT me. kids section all the way, baby.

 

[timothy1212]

@yakob123 im 5’3 a little under 120 and wear size small sometimes xs and wonder how actual skinny people find clothes

 

[jwall]

@timothy1212 What do u consider actually skinny for 5ft 3

 

[timothy1212]

@jwall depends what you look like. weight doesn’t determine it really. i have a lot more fat on my body than a lot of girls that are 5’3 at my weight

 

[jwall]

@timothy1212 Weight does partially determine

 

[yakob123]

@timothy1212 I would consider that appropriate for your height and weight. Do smalls feel baggy to you?

 

[windowsxp_98]

@yakob123 Not the OP but similar size, shirts aredefinitely bigger and boxier now. I never know whether to get a small or extra small when shopping online

 

[timothy1212]

@yakob123 no its not baggy.
