oh, i getcha

also, vanity sizing is when a company fυcks with sizes (usually women's, I haven't seen vanity sizing for men tbh, only occasional slip-ups in sizing or the company tryna do an oversized fit, it does likely happen though) and makes them big so you as the consumer feel better about yourself, like, i'm a medium in bottoms and a small/medium in tops (tbf, I own a lot of mens and unisex clothing so they fit differently) but if I want a nice form fitting tee from Walmart in the women's section, i'd need to buy an XS, the idea is with vanity sizing, I'll see the XS tag and feel better about my body and i'll be more likely to buy something from them since I feel better about myself. now, i'm not sure if that actually works tbh, for me it just annoys me and makes it harder for my grandma to buy me clothing =-= @Ria

[Ria]

yes it would.not me specifically, but others yes

[Yanderemenhera]

@Ria did my explanation make sense?

[Ria]

sorta, so basically, they keep the sixe, but change the labels to a smalller sizetogivea potential buyer a self confidence-based dopamine boost, which encourages them to be more likely to buy and invest

@Ria ngl, it just rage baits the shit outta me because I need to try to like, explain to my dad or his mom that while yes, they can buy me like a size medium woman's shirt from amazon or like some size small bootleg unisex band tee, they need to follow entirely different rules for walmart 🥀 it makes me not wanna give them money because it annoys me, tbh I usually get my favorite clothes from goodwill or I get old clothes from my dad that might've shrunk in the dryer since I do like to have some baggy clothes (i'm significantly smaller than my btw, we aren't the same size) and while they are baggy on me, my dad can't wear them since they are too small

@Yanderemenhera i understand, but its kinda different for me, as i am tall and slim, ans my breasts have recently spurted and are larger than normal, so its more people buying me skinny leggings, but not lstening when i say that they need to go a size up bc it doesnt fit length, and they always buy tight xs tops bc im skinny, but they dont believe im suffocating

@Yanderemenhera holy moly XS???
Woah :0

[Yanderemenhera]

@vessel yes, I just found the shirt, quickly laying it agenst a woman's size medium shirt my grandma got me reveals that the "XS" is almost identical to the medium, a bit smaller, but still close to the same size

[Yanderemenhera]

@vessel when I make the topic later tonight, I'll enjoy showing you how absurd the Walmart XS is, i'll show how it looks on me too dw, but i'll do comparasen pictures with it, like one with a woman's medium top, a size small men's top, and a size small unisex top

[Yanderemenhera]

@Ria oh I get that, I can't wear button up tops now 🥀 if I size up, it looks inappropriate for a formal occasion since it is too large, but if I get a size i'd normally wear the shirt pops right open when I move even an inch

[Ria]

@Yanderemenhera literally, i have to wear tops under my shirts on a boiling school day bc the gaps open up at the side
