This Video Proves That “One Size Fits All” Clothing Only Fits a Certain Body Type

Clothing stores are popping up everywhere with apparel labeled “one size fits all.” BuzzFeed employees put the clothing to the test in a viral video that answers the question: Can one size really fit every person?

Women from BuzzFeed of different shapes and sizes tried on “one size fits all” clothing. The results were not surprising, as the clothing was extremely baggy on certain women, while it was too tight on others. One woman who participated said after trying on the “one size fits all” clothing, it opened a perspective of how society is obsessed of getting the perfect slim figure. The video made an excellent point that the “one size fits all” clothing reinforces the unrealistic expectations of body figures and what women “should” look like.
