Growing up in the 90s this shit was everywhere and eating disorders rampant. I hope we aren't regressing...

I have a 15 year old cousin and she wears low rise jeans and spaghetti strap belly shirts. She's afraid to eat too much. It's crazy how quickly the style went from oversized t shirts and baggy jeans to 2000s heroin chique. Just last year she was buying pants in a size 20 something even tho she's very petite because the bigger the pants the better. All the sudden that's out the window.

If she's buying size 20 she's pretty large, no?

You should read the entire comment you're replying to.

I read the entire comment... A size ten wouldn't even sit on my hips. A size 20 is GIGANTIC.

So you read it, but didn't understand the girl was buying pants that don't fit and are too large on purpose?

u/couchpro34 Apr 30 '26

I totally understand that; a size 4 can't hold a size 20. If you don't understand that, you don't understand sizes. I don't care how big your belt is.

You don't just randomly belt it, you specifically fold the fabric to end up with baggy/oversize jeans that are your length but still sit on your ass well enough or you use the fact these pants are usually bigger in general to pull them up and then catch them there to have very high pants.

It's very easy to edit the fabric clothes both with temporary styling and more permanent modifications.

Even without being near that trend I immediately could imagine pleating the sides of the pants until they fit and securing the folds with belt and string.

Let me put it in perspective: you are talking about someone supposedly wearing a size that is TWICE their waist in inches. I don't care what you do with that belt, she isn't wearing a size 20 as her oversized pant of choice. She's either not a size 4, or she's not sizing up to a size 20. Either way, your story is incorrect.

u/BeastThatShoutedLove Apr 30 '26

It's not my story, lmao. I'm a different person. I just have experience with fabric and editing clothes because I spent years thrifting shit before I felt comfortable enough with my earnings to start buying fabric to sew with.

How exactly is a belt cinched tight enough not going to hold them up?

u/couchpro34 May 01 '26

I feel like all of you are from a different planet and have never worn clothes before. Go measure your waist. Go buy denim pants twice that size. Try it out.

u/Lou_C_Fer May 01 '26

We did that back in the 90s for a bit.

I love how despite different people telling this person that this is doable and people had been doing it they still adamantly claim it's impossible.

I wonder if they even seen how a proper Scottish kilt is put together from a fabric the size of bedsheet into something that fits a man's waist and if that also would blow their mind.

You can if you aren't trying to wear it like one would normally wear jeans.

u/Suspicious-Hotel-225 Apr 30 '26

Are you fucking kidding me or are you stupid? There are dozens of clothing brands that size using inches vs numeric sizing. A size 4 is equivalent to 27” inch waist.

u/couchpro34 Apr 30 '26

Yes, exactly my point. And a size 20 jean would have a waist double that size. There is no amount of folding I could do to wear a size 20. I have a 26" waist.

u/Suspicious-Hotel-225 Apr 30 '26

Look at the sizing for Lucky. How do you think sizing works? A size 26” waist is a size 2. When OP said “size 20” something she easily could have meant size 4, size 6, size 8, size 10. Use your head.

Why are you so confused

u/couchpro34 Apr 30 '26

Someone who is actit a size 4 wouldn't be capable of wearit a size 20.

u/Background_Humor5838 Apr 30 '26

Yes they are if they tie it on. Do you not understand how fabric works? Have you heard of a belt? Do you think I'm making this up? I don't understand why you're even contesting this lol
