The conversation around the lack of size inclusivity has become louder but still, the powers that be at clothing brands don’t seem to be listening.
Size inclusivity is something that we can never seem to get right.
Brands either don’t have a decent enough range of sizes or they produce the range, but don’t stock all sizes in stores.
Aussie comedian Tanya Hennessy experienced this during a recent shopping trip and she vented her frustrations in a TikTok that’s been doing the rounds.
Tanya filmed the video in her car after visiting a store (that shall not be named — although it really doesn’t need to be, considering so many brands are guilty of this).
“I went into a shop, I won’t say the name, and said, ‘Do you have this in a 16?’ and they were like, ‘We have everything 16-24 online.’
“Right, why? Can people who are 16-24 not come into your shop? We’re not welcome? It’s a no from me.”
She then pointed out, “But you’ve got it online though, so you want our money, but we’re just not good enough to be in the shop.”
“It’s a FUCK no from me,” she poignantly concluded.
Well fucking said, doll.
