Likely because only "men's sizes" have a semblance of a standard. So called "women's sizes" is an absolute chaos. Some companies' small is another company's large, and so on.
- krick 7y agoI don't have an experience buying female clothes, so maybe I don't appreciate the scale, but it's not like there is common a standard for male clothes either. Sometimes M is literally XL, depending on the company and the country of origin.
- ceejayoz 7y agoWhen I buy pants, they're available in sizes like "32x34", describing the waist and inseam in inches.
- GordonS 7y agoAt least in the UK, pants is about where the simplicity ends :( For T-shirts, sizing is an arbitrary XS, S, M, L, XL etc. Most times, I'm a L, but often an M is too small and an XL is ridiculously big - it really is arbitrary. For shirts, it's based on the neck size. Which is a bastard, as a I have a large neck, so shirts that I can actually button up are extremely baggy on me :/
