1. Market demand: Smaller clothing sizes may be related to market demand. With the pursuit of health and beauty and the improvement of consumers' purchasing power, consumers may tend to buy more slim clothes, which leads to the growing popularity of smaller clothes.
2. Aesthetic standards: In the past few decades, the aesthetic concepts of many countries have changed. The concept of thinness as beauty gradually occupies the mainstream position, which may affect clothing companies to formulate size standards. However, too narrow and single aesthetic standards may cause physical bullying to some people, and it is also easy to cause stereotypes and negative emotions about the body.
3. Cost saving: In order to reduce costs, manufacturers may reduce the overall size. In this way, less materials such as fabrics are needed in the production process, thus reducing the production cost.
4. Cultural factors: the cultural background of different countries and regions also affects the choice of clothing size. For example, eastern culture tends to dress in a slimmer way, while western culture may pay more attention to personal comfort.
The phenomenon that domestic clothing sizes are getting smaller and smaller involves not only the change of aesthetic concept, but also the decision-making and market demand of manufacturers. Physical bullying and aesthetic distortion can be regarded as part of the reasons, but the whole process is also affected by many other factors.
