What size clothes do you wear? I don’t mean the number in the label. I mean what size are they once they are on you? Are they big and oversized, or as small as you can wriggle into? Do you make a beeline for the smallest clothes, believing that the “right” size is the one that you can just about zip up if you breathe in? Or is your comfort zone big and baggy, so that your clothes take on their own shape, and the shape of actual you sits hidden underneath?
Many of us tend towards one or the other of these extremes. Which may be related to the fact that, if we’re honest, well, most of us are at least a tiny bit weird about our body size and how we feel about it. Or it may just be because fashion tends to ricochet between the two extremes, bouncing from sucky-sucky tight and help-I’m-under-this-tent.
