I’m a size 22 & tried on loads of different high street jeans to see how they fit… it’s proof you shouldn’t trust sizing
HAVE you ever wondered why two pairs of jeans never look the same on?
Well it might not be because you’ve put on a few pounds.
A plus size fashion fan has shared the real reason why high street store clothes never fit properly and it’s not because you have put on weight.
Dyllan, a size 22 influencer, shared a video with her 472,000 TikTok followers debunking what we believe to be true about clothes sizing.
She said: “Hi, Welcome to my episode of why we can’t trust the size on the tag.”
Dyllan decided to try on 18 pairs of jeans all size 20 to prove that sizing makes no sense.
She said: “Every jean that I try on is gonna be a size 16 [UK size 20] and you’re gonna see that they all fit me entirely differently.”
Dyllan said the reason for the lack of sizing consistency is because brands all follow their individual guidelines and measurements.
“You know how because every single brand and every single company has their own set of specs.”
“They are making things off of what they believe is a size 16 and some so is someone down the street.”
For this reason Dyllan said shoppers shouldn’t be too concerned about the size number on their clothes tags.
“That’s why nothing makes sense and that’s why we can’t be stressed over the number on the tag.”

“Again of all these jeans are the same size.”
Dyllan then tried on the 18 pairs of jeans and as suspected they all fit her completely differently.
Some slipped on easily and fit we showing of her curves.
Others Dyllan struggled to get into with some she couldn’t even zip up.
Dyllans video gained over 76,000 views.
Many viewers found the fashion fans video refreshingly honest and encouraging.
One user said: “It’s the hip hula hoop pull for me. I like to do the drop it hot stretch them jeans every time.”
Another said: “The struggle is Real!!”
A third viewer said: “I need this when I’m in the fitting room wanting to cry because I honestly have no idea what size I am anymore.”
