As a 6'2 man the clothes I find which are right for my height are often very loose on me. And if I worry about the waist I look like a kid who grew a lot in the past 2 months and everything is too short for me.

Its not entirely universal, some stores are better than others. And I wear a lot of loose casual t-shirts so thats fine too. But finding dress shirts means some places work, some don't.

my chest is the widest part of my body and it requires me to buy tops that are larger than my size and almost impossible to find.

getting them online too doesn't help because the measurements are never correct.

I can’t seem to find ethically produced slim fit shirts. Only regular ones which are way too roomy around my back and stomach

I don't know how price sensitive you are, but check out Asket.

As a woman? Brands that think tall ladies are just short women on stilts, so the pants are too short through the rise and shirts too short. We are not all legs! I can get a fit in pants by buying from the few places that have legit tall women's clothes and then hemming them to fit.

Very close second place is bra shopping, same sort of problem - cup size scales up with wire diameter, but in general small boobs are not small around, they are just flatter, and on the other side big boobs can have narrow roots. They need 3 measurements not 2, like band length, wire diameter and cup volume all need to be moving parts.

Your experience as a tall person and mine as a short person makes me wonder if these clothing makers have ever met a woman in real life. It's like they are designing based a description of a woman they heard 5 years ago.

All the clothes that fit men especially big men be it tall or thicc are so.... boring. Its like the same few colors, and design isnt really considered. most of its just practical stuff. Some of the best quality clothes i have are "work clothes". Its hard enough finding things that fit and arent shit quality much less finding something that looks nice.

Those are nice? Or is it the paranoia?

[-] nieceandtows@programming.dev 1 points 22 hours ago

They for whatever reason always make me look ugly and out of shape.
