Okay, so, I’ve been trying to figure out the whole sizing thing with VS Pink leggings. You know, it’s always a gamble ordering online, especially when it comes to leggings. You want them to fit just right – not too tight, not too loose, and definitely not see-through.
So, I started by checking out the Victoria’s Secret website. They have this “view size chart” option, which should be helpful, right? Well, not exactly. I noticed some people saying that Pink stuff tends to run a bit small, so I was already kinda confused.
My Measuring Tape Adventure
First things first, I grabbed my trusty measuring tape. I measured my waist and hips. You gotta make sure you’re measuring at the right spots. For the waist, it’s the narrowest part, usually above the belly button. For the hips, it’s the widest part, around your butt.
- Waist: Measured at the narrowest point.
- Hips: Measured at the widest point.
Then, I looked at the size chart, trying to match my measurements to a size. But it wasn’t as straightforward as I thought. The numbers seemed a bit off, and I was between sizes, as usual.
Diving into Reviews
Next, I spent hours reading reviews online. Some people were saying to size up, others were saying the leggings were true to size. A few mentioned that the length was a problem, especially for shorter folks like me. I’m 5’4″, and apparently, that’s sometimes an issue with leggings. It’s like, do I want to deal with bunching at the ankles? Not really.
Experimenting with Sizes
Feeling brave, I decided to order two pairs: one in my usual size and one a size up. My thinking was, I could compare them and finally crack the code of Pink legging sizes.
When they arrived, I tried them on immediately. The smaller size was way too snug. I could barely breathe. The larger size was better, but still a bit tight around the waist. Plus, they were a tad too long, just as some reviews had warned.
The Frustrating Conclusion
Honestly, I was pretty annoyed at this point. I just wanted a comfy pair of leggings that fit well! In the end, I decided to return both pairs. It just wasn’t worth the hassle. My advice? If you’re set on getting Pink leggings, it might be best to try them on in a store if you can. Or be prepared to maybe order a few different sizes and return what doesn’t work. It’s a bit of a pain, but hey, that’s the world of online shopping, right?
From my experience, their size guide is not totally reliable and you should think about going one size up.
