When you go to a store shopping for clothing, you are going to look for some very specific features. This includes the color, the cut, and the look of the clothing. It also includes the size.
Choosing the right size of clothing allows it to fit its best on you, but there is something that many people didn’t realize. That is the fact that 2XL and XXL are not the same size. Did you know that?
This showed up in an interesting TikTok video. The viewers who saw it were very thankful that she cleared up the confusion about those two different things, which are actually two different sizes.
The social media Creator, Makayla posted a video showing herself and the two different sizes of clothing. It was captioned: “Should I make a video explaining the difference between XXL and 2XL??”
@itsmakaylasmith Should I make a video explaining the difference between XXL and 2XL?? 🤔 #plussizeproblems #plussizeexperience #sizingproblems #plussizetiktok
Most people were surprised to find out that 2XL and XXL were different sizes. In fact, they are very different from each other in a number of ways.
XXL is a larger size than XL, which makes sense. 2XL, however, is a lot bigger but it is not longer than XL.
It may be hard to wrap your head around it but the visual in the video shared above really helps to demonstrate the difference in the sizes. When she puts on the XXL, it fits comfortably but the 2XL has a little more room in the arms of the abdomen.
After sharing this video, many people were shocked at the difference. They really had no idea that there was even was a difference.
The long and short of it is, if you like something that is more conforming to your body, go with XXL. If you would rather be more comfortable, then the 2XL is the better decision.
