Have you noticed a difference in pant sizes wearing lately? For years people have depended on the size of clothing to buy in order to determine the actual size and if they are put on or lost weight. But it turns out that the largest jeans wear is not necessarily the best way to determine if you gain or lose pounds or inches. With the advent of "vanity sizing" if you've gained inches in the waist, you can still wear a 36 "pant. On the other hand, if you lose a few pounds, you can drop your waist size to 34" or less!
Good Morning America recently is a piece that is one of their male producers visit stores to compare what is the difference in sizes Jean. After buying 36 "waist in Levis, Gap, Zara and Banana Republic, one of the best tailors in New York was added to check the actual waist measurement. Levis came to 36.5", Zara is 37 ", Gap of 38" and Banana Republic is 38.5 ".
In this study, GMA and watched Esquire discovery. They were among the first to investigate the so-called "vanity" waist. Esquire has found that 36 "Dockers is actually 39.5" and the Old Navy allowed a full 5 "of extra width is 36" pants. I am buying at Old Navy!
is thinking that people will be more likely to buy a supposedly "lesser" pant size, which makes absolute perfect sense. Women will make the heart beat and you probably do. Even if it's not brand name, if a woman goes into a store and tries on two different versions, it is probably more likely to buy one that is smaller in size, until it fits. Who does not want to say that it can handle 8 / 10 instead of 12/14, or a medium instead of large?
Some of the companies justify the difference in sizes ranging from denial of "vanity" theory. Banana Republic argues, for example, that their pants are meant to sit on the high side, but on the natural waist, hence the reason for the difference in inches. Gap goes on record as saying that it is impossible to compare the sizing, because each vendor is designing for different target customers. Does this mean that levis changes its size according to target customers in a certain area? I do not think so.
the truth is that people wear different pants, some wear them, and some less need to have a belly button covered at all times, but that should not make a difference in the size of your waist. Would not everyone be able to go out and buy the pants "off the shelf" and I know that standardized sizes to suit them? Not that producers have to call the waist and waist hip hip? Would not it also follows that if someone has to buy a larger pant size that they May be more likely to do what needs to be done in order to lose weight? In some cases, you can get a full 5 "and still think that you are wearing 36" waist. Of course, you can not look in the mirror or the scale much, but it may be ultimately misleading and should not be allowed.
This practice and the lack of standardization makes things harder for us all. How you can order online if you can be sure of the size you should be ordering? Does this mean I need to try on clothes every time you buy a different brand? Men question during the recording of this segment felt duped and disappointed that the producers were catering to their vanity, rather than "keeping it real ".
