It is no longer news that the most famous brands in America are gradually introducing clothing models for customers with “non-standard” dimensions that exceed the so-called average, corresponding to Russian concepts of 46-48 sizes.
Fashion designers arrange shows where full fashion models defile, even in well-known show programs like “Top Model According to…”, girls with appetizing forms successfully compete with painfully emaciated participants. It seems that the XXL size has begun its triumphant march around the planet. And this is true not only for women. Men have mastered the XXL size since time immemorial. True, unlike the representatives of the fair half, they never "steamed" about this, as a result of which they successfully avoided the fate of getting anorexia.
Besides, the higher the social status of people, the thicker their wallets, the more often among them there are big people in every sense of the word. At the same time, the size XXL is one of the most "tight".
According to a sociological survey conducted by specialists from the Romir research company, most Russian bosses sew clothes to order not because they -incorrigible mods, but due to the fact that a suitable size cannot be found in the store. Looks like size XXL is a goldmine for today's fashion designers and productions.

S, L or XXL - size is of paramount importance when buying. But do not forget to pay attention to the material from which the thing you buy is sewn. For example, leather skirts or trousers tend to stretch and shrink over time according to the shape of the wearer's figure. It is rational to buy trousers a little longer than necessary, giving them time to shrink.
There is no such person who would not want to always and everywhere look great. While shopping, resist the momentary temptation to buy everything you like. Think about how your wardrobe fits, how this particular item will work with what you already have. If it is out of the general range, it is better to refuse the purchase.
And the last thing: take your measurements correctly - this is a guarantee of a successful purchase. To measure your height from head to toe, remove your shoes and lean against a wall.“Hug” the chest with a centimeter at the most protruding points - this is how you get its girth. The same rule applies to measuring the circumference of the hips. When measuring your waist, do not tighten the centimeter.
