The Importance of Knowing Your True Size
If you’ve ever thought, “if only I could get down to my ideal size,” this is for you. Letter sizes like XS, M, L, or XL are basically worthless unless you know your measurements. Knowing your true size can change the way you see yourself. You can go from feeling self-conscious and unattractive to loving how you feel about yourself and feeling sexy no matter your size. How? Because wearing clothes that fit will always help you look your best.
What is Vanity Sizing?
These are the arbitrary numbers on tags for women’s clothing. You may see tags labeled with sizes 0 to 24, 28 to 50, or XXS to XXL. These numbers don’t mean anything. Every brand has a unique fit model and sizing. Never feel bad about these random numbers or letters. They literally mean nothing. Instead of focusing on the number or letter on the tag, focus on the garment’s actual measurements. Knowing your proper size is also essential when you’re shopping online, and you can’t try on clothes before buying.
When you know your measurements, you can figure out your proper size. Remember that you may be a size small in one store and a large in another – and that’s OK. The essential thing is that you look good and, more importantly, feel good in your clothes. Focus on items that fit you
properly and you will stop caring about the numbers.
