Not that we needed more evidence...

I have two t-shirts. OK, I have a lot more t-shirts than that, but two that are relevant. They fit about the same.

One is a 2X.

The other is a small.

Remind me why size labels exist?

...to keep you confused, and therefore constantly shopping?

[gregtitus.livejournal.com]

Size labels exist to:
(a) Allow women to feel bad and/or good about themselves, and
(b) To allow men to pick up clothes and know they'll fit so they can leave the store as quickly as possible.

See? Totally rational.

It is true. Men's pants are extremely sensibly sized.

Too bad I can't really wear them.

Is it a 2X juniors?

[nolly.livejournal.com]

It wasn't labelled as such, but one could make a case for it. Although most of my labeled-as-juniors shirts are only XLs.

[frogpyjamas.livejournal.com]

Juniors is my guess as well ... I have lots of XL juniors shirts that are tiny.

[nolly.livejournal.com]

Well, nothing on the shirt or inther store saiys "juniors", but I believe their primary market is teenagers...like 90% of mall stores.

...to make it easy to discount others' opinions?

[quaryn-dk.livejournal.com]

To annoy and confuse us.

To keep the label monkeys employed?

this is why i find a brand i like and then only buy that brand until i find a brand i like more, usualy my size will be the same for all clothes of one brand

but then i end up buy a lot of used clothes and am lucky if i can get clotehs in any brand i reconize then, but i can get old navy and gap pants used really easily at buffalo exchange and those pants always fit well

with shirts i just hold it up to me and decide if i will be comfy in it, then look at the size after
