We all know, women sizes differs between brands, models and countries. Men had the war to tha k for standardize sizing due to uniform requirement. Need a pair of pants? Hip size and leg lenght is all you need! For wonen though, it depends wich country, company, cut of pants. You’vegot hips sizing, waist size, various non descriptive leg lenght ( Regular, for short or tall legs), etc. I think it is just tedious to shop for clothing at this point. What’s yourtakeon a solution to simplify all this spaguetti of size clothing?

      Dress pants, shirts, and jackets are fairly standardized by measurements. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than S M L sizing.

        The measurements aren’t always reliable though. I’ve got 2 pairs of pants, one a 32 waist and the other is a 36 and they both fit the same.

      As someone who made understanding clothes sizes my main nerd-quest of recent years (see my other comment, lol) , I can confirm that no, men’s clothes are not standard either. In some ways they’re better, in some ways worse - like, it’s one thing for a medium to have a lot of variation, but I would expect waist or leg sizes that are measured in inches to be more consistent.

      Alas, finding well fitting clothes sucks for everyone (though ofc, it sucks for some people more than others)
