Vanity sizing has infiltrated the sports stores!! I was in great need of some lose shorts to exercise in at home. All I have are these tight black shorts and I wanted something loose to hang about at home without changing after a work out. I went to Dick's Sporting Goods because it just opened up near me and me just learning it's tax fee weekend, I went to check out what they had. Snagged some nice training/running Reebok shorts for $12! Grabbed the first pair I saw in all black that was tagged on the hanger as a S. Possible Shitlord? When trying them I had a hard time figuring out what was weird about them. For one, they fit a bit big and second, they had this weird front only men's short should have. Possible fupa holder?? Who the fuck knows, it was definitely more than enough to stretch with. I went back to look for more and try different styles. I'm currently a Size 6, thanks to squats it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to drop pants sizes- no biggie, Ive always had muscular legs and this butt is filling in more than it can handle and it's great. ANYWAY- turns out I had the XS the whole time. Bought them anyway, when am I ever going to find comfy loose shorts for $12. I was confused about it till I remembered about vanity sizing. Sadly nothing was on sale in the girls section but damn. XS fitting like what a M/L used to be? Crazy
