As someone >90th percentile in height and >75th percentile in weight for the US, I’ve found in the last 5 years I now no longer fit into most “Large” size clothing and need to buy more “Medium” sized clothing. I haven’t lost/gained weight nor shrunk(that I’m aware of). Statistically, numerically and culturally this seems strange.
Anyone else find sizes that “should” or “used to” fit have morphed and you now shop different sizes where your body size hasn’t changed?
A few random calculators: https://tall.life/height-percentile-calculator-age-country/ https://simulconsult.com/resources/measurement.html?type=weight
Sizing is unacceptably insane. There has to be an explanation other than “everyone in the clothing industry is an idiot”, but I haven’t seen one.
Just got underwear for an 18-24 MONTH old and they’re bigger than my 14 year old niece’s underwear.
