When buying a pair of joggers, many of us will opt for the next size up, knowing that a larger pair can often be much comfier for lounging around the house.
However, sometimes there is a limit as to oversized you should go, as one woman recently learned all too well.
A TikTok user named Kiera recently treated herself to a pair of grey tall joggers from Boohoo in a size small, but was alarmed when she saw what they looked like in real life.
After trying them on, the baffled TikToker pondered whether Boohoo was "actually taking the p*** out of me now", with the waistband of the joggers fitting just under her armpits.

Addressing Boohoo directly in the vid, 5ft 9 Kiera, who goes by the TikTok username @bigbitskiz, asked: "How are you going to tell me that this is a small? I don't think so, darling!"
Emphasising just how comically long the pants are, Kiera - who believes Boohoo is taking her "for a mug" - could be seen spinning around in the clip, showing followers just how loose they were.
As she later joked in the comments section, she would have been able to use the joggers to smuggle "those footling Jaffa Cakes tubs you get at Christmas" into the cinema.
Laughing that Boohoo is "selling sleeping bags now", Kiera says her choices as a taller girl can often be limited but feels she's been well and truly "swindled" here.
Kiera's followers have been left just as startled by the length of the joggers, with some remarking that they look better suited to an "eight-foot-man." Others shared similar experiences of their own.
One woman claimed: "I got a pair like this and I’m 5ft1. They weren’t in the tall section either!"
Another howled: "I am cackling. It's like the Family Guy clip where Peter is all legs and a head with no body".
A third chuckled: "On the upside, I can finally find trousers for my 6ft 8 partner!"
The Mirror has contacted Boohoo for comment.
