I’m midsize and tried on jeans from different shops to see how well a size 16 fits – some were horrific
A MIDSIZE fashion fan decided to try on jeans from different shops to see how they would fit – and shared the mixed results on her social media.
TikTok user Alex Hyland is a size 16 and wanted a new pair of wide leg jeans for every occasion to fit her body type.
So Alex, who can be found at @alex.hyland, hit some of her local shops and online stores to see what they had on offer.
She tried on two pairs – one from Pull & Bear and one from Next – in exactly the same size.
However, Alex said that her experience just goes to show that women should never focus on sizes, as she revealed how it went.
Alex told her followers: “Hi girls.
“So if you ever needed a reason to not be so obsessed with the size of the clothes that you are wearing, then this is it.”
The video then captured Alex in the changing room as she put on a fashion show and reached for the Pull & Bear jeans, which she’d bought from ASOS.
The fashion fan continued: “Check out these jeans.
“The first pair are from ASOS – size 16, wide leg.”
Alex then showed how she struggled to pull them up, as she explained: “And they are not going anywhere.
She added that the jeans were really not for her and that the fit was horrific, as she continued: “So uncomfortable!”
The TikToker then opted for the Next buy – which she revealed was a completely different story.
She said: “The next pair are a size 16 wide also, but from Next.
“They are so soft, so comfortable, they fit like a dream.
“They haven’t got the tags on because I’ve worn them.
“I love them – if anything, they’re even a little bit loose.
“So here’s my message to you girls – wear what the hell fits and feels good.”
Alex’s followers were quick to echo her message, as they praised her for her honesty.
One wrote: “Always said this, I have clothes from 8 – 12 and all fit me.
“If it looks good, wear it.”
A second added: “Well said, I get the size I am comfortable in.”
