So much difference in sizes

Shopping for jeans is possibly the hardest fashion task, but it is made even more tricky by the unbalanced sizing on the high street. We've all been there, you're one size in one shop and then a totally different size in the next, the lack of standardised size in the industry is a huge problem and one that can really upsets consumers too.

“To be honest, I had a mental breakdown yesterday basically because the sizing in Zara is offensive. Just not having it really. So I had to take a whole load of stuff back," she said at the time. While of course we have plenty of hacks with working out what will fit, what we really need is a better baseline for sizing and while some brands are pretty average and seemingly fair with their sizing, others are well known for skimping on the size.

That is why it is important to try on the clothes if you can. Depending on where the clothes are made, the sizes can vary in the way they fit.
