As a 6’2 man the clothes I find which are right for my height are often very loose on me. And if I worry about the waist I look like a kid who grew a lot in the past 2 months and everything is too short for me.
Its not entirely universal, some stores are better than others. And I wear a lot of loose casual t-shirts so thats fine too. But finding dress shirts means some places work, some don’t.
I’m really annoyed how little consistency there is in sizing terminology. One brand’s ‘XL’ might be too tight for me while another brand’s ‘XL’ could fit me like a garbage bag. Makes shopping online a real hassle for me. I always have to check measurement tables and even then it still might not fit right.
I don’t understand why the inconsistency exists. If brands all agreed with each other on what exactly their sizing terms mean, wouldn’t that cut down on returns?
