I don’t see the point in doing men’s vs women’s clothing sizes. Surely there’s a big enough variance in size and shape between individuals that it would be more useful to size based off of measurements of body shape?
Take shoes for example. Why is a uk men’s size 10 so wildly different from a UK women’s size 10?
All it seems to achieve is making shopping for clothes difficult for anyone that doesn’t fit into the expected body shape for their gender and make it hard to find well fitting clothes outside of specialist shops.
Yes and no, it depends on the brand mostly, but at least here in México it’s notorious because brands tend to import asian sizes for some reason (or so some clerks say) and you see lots of size 0 or 1, but bigger sizes or clothes that actually fit women who aren’t flat/extremely skinny are sold out first (and fast).
Men’s pants are also poorly fitted if you have a butt, they seem designed to be for flat guys only.
