Are the sizes of women's clothing getting smaller? Net users are sharing their frustrating shopping experiences when they try on a shirt or jeans and find the size they usually wear is too small! The sentiment was echoed by many female buyers, who called on fashion stores to standardize their sizing for women's clothing.
而近些年,随着社交媒体的发展,诸如反手摸肚脐、漫画腰挑战、直角肩、锁骨养鱼等“挑战”屡屡登上热搜。
"The comic waist challenge", in which netizens try to mimic a comic character's pose with their legs on a chair and the upper body dropping to the ground, almost bending the waist in half, has become the fad to hit China's social media.
The topic has garnered hundreds of millions views on Weibo, with many net users posting photos of the challenging pose to show how sexy and flexible they are.
Studies have shown that shoppers prefer to buy clothing labeled with small sizes because it boosts our confidence. So as the weight of the average American woman rose, from 140 lb in 1960 to 168.5 lb in 2014, brands adjusted their metrics to help more of us squeeze into more-desirable sizes (and get us to buy more clothes).
In the '50s, curvy was beautiful. Now, we have this crazy notion that thinner is prettier. There are people who have thyroid conditions, metabolic conditions, and other hormone issues that makes it difficult for them to gain or lose weight. Why is the sizing making it so difficult for those people? Why can't it just be universal?
