A reality check that women’s clothing sizes often lack meaning when it comes to finding the perfect fit.
If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that clothing sizes are not worth stressing over—especially since they can vary tremendously from brand to brand and even among different styles. Blogger Mia Johnson recently shared a striking example of this frustrating issue in women’s fashion.
Take a look at this side-by-side comparison that illustrates how even in a single store, determining the right size can feel utterly baffling.
“PSA: DON’T LET A NUMBER DEFINE YOU! BOTH OF THESE ARE THE SAME SIZE!”
That’s right, both pairs of pants are labeled the same size and were purchased from the same retailer. Johnson explained that while searching for pants, she discovered both a burgundy pair and a teal pair located in different sections. Sure, each store has its own cuts and fits, but the stark difference in how these items fit is outrageous.
What kind of design allows a woman to comfortably zip and button one pair of pants while another pair in the same size feels like a torture device? It’s simply absurd.
“I used to absolutely HATE shopping for this exact reason!” Johnson shares. “You go looking for your usual size, it doesn’t fit, and you leave the store feeling terrible about yourself. It’s easy to let negative thoughts creep in. I know I did…”
Who hasn’t stood in front of a mirror in a dressing room, feeling completely defeated and disconnected from their own body? It’s disheartening. At least moments like these remind us that the issue lies not within us, but within the fashion industry that still has a long way to go.
“Stop trying to squeeze into the ‘perfect size’!” Johnson encourages. “Wear what makes you feel fabulous! Who cares if it’s a couple of sizes up or down from what you usually wear? Reclaim your confidence and choose the styles that resonate with you.”
We often become so fixated on our size that we forget to focus on how clothes actually look on our bodies. “I can’t believe I’m now in the double digits,” we lament, reminiscing about past sizes.
Let this photo serve as a reminder that women’s sizing is completely nonsensical. It’s all about finding the right fit and, most importantly, wearing what makes us feel good.

In summary, the fashion industry needs to rethink sizing standards, and we should focus on what feels good, rather than getting hung up on labels.
