Why women find it hard to find the perfect jeans size: explanation

The right jeans will emphasize your figure and will be an appropriate addition to many outfits. However, finding the perfect size is not an easy task.

Men, knowing their parameters, can easily buy the first pair of jeans they see – and they will fit perfectly. Women, on the other hand, often have to spend a lot of time searching for the perfect model that doesn't hang anywhere and doesn't squeeze anything. The experts explained why these difficulties arise and what the "vanity phenomenon" is.

The difference in the sizes of women's and men's pants is a topic that worries many people when buying clothes. It turns out that there is an explanation for this situation.

Women's jeans labeled with the same size in different stores can have completely different parameters, and even from the same manufacturer, two models of pants of the same size can differ significantly.

Men's jeans always have length and width indicated on the label. That is, the size of men's pants is determined based on the ratio of the leg length to the waist circumference, which greatly facilitates the selection process. Women often have to try on several pairs to find the ones that fit perfectly.

Stylists call this phenomenon "vanity sizing". Many women have jeans of different sizes in their wardrobe that fit equally well. Even with a difference of three sizes, each pair can fit perfectly.

Often, manufacturers use the tactic of undersizing on labels, allegedly to boost buyers' self-esteem. Stylists add that women are more willing to wear smaller clothes because it boosts their self-confidence.

In addition, each clothing brand has its sizing system, which further complicates the issue of fitting.
