As we all know no one is average, however the fashion industries seem to not notice. It is getting better though, as a plus sized woman of average height I can easily find clothes that fit properly at plus sized stores (even though everything is grossly over priced). Tall or plus sized men, same thing. Short or small framed women are also catered to with petite sizes or clothes that come in a size 0 or xs or xxs (or as I like to call it prepubescent boy haha). However there is one demographic that for whatever reason the fashion industry continues to ignore... short or small framed men. My husband is 5 foot 1 and as of right now, it's impossible for him to find pants that don't need to be hemmed, t-shirts with sleeves the right length, and long sleeve shirts? forget about it....and don't even get my started on shoes. He wears a size 7 and they've been refereed to as "under sized" how about just calling them a size-fucking-7!?
It completely baffles me that every other body type can find clothes that fit except for short men, I suppose the only other group that could relate would be very tall women. Most of the world is populated by the asian countries and most of their men are quite short or small framed so I just don't understand why it's so impossible to find clothes that fit someone who isn't of an "average" size.
I guess for now I just need to get better at sewing until the fashion industry does.
Know of a place that sells smaller sizes or caters to shorter men? tell me about it in the comments.
