Who came up with woman's jean size?

How in the can you ever be a zero, that means there is nothing there. Like in men’s jeans, if it says 32, that is the inches, so you have a 32 inch waist.

Answer #1

Probably to make women feel better about themselves by giving them a smaller number XD I’m sure most of us would rather say we’re an 8 rather than a 28.

Answer #2

Ok so you take the number and add 20 to it. so if a man was say a 32, then he would be in a size 12 women, with a lot of hip room?

Answer #3

As far as I know, that’s how women’s jeans work. Well, here anyways. I’m pretty sure European sizes may be different, but I could be wrong. I think I have seen women’s jeans with the full number as well. But an 8 in womens here, is a 28 inch waist.

Answer #4

^Yeah. thats how the sizes work.. also girls wear there jeans tighter than guys. So theres also jeans labelled ‘skinny’ or ‘stretch’

Answer #5

Well I think it is easier for girls to wear tighter jeans because of their anatomy.
