when shopping in Korea.. THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

wait isn’t a US4 an XS

Wait, y’all fellow Americans return your products after using? 😭 BRO I just accept my fate of wasted money

Idk if it’s different for tourist based things. I’m in Korea and I’m buying and fitting into M comfortable and I would usually be a M in Australia or about an American 10…

If YOU cannot fit into a korean S then I will probably never find my size in korea

Either the sizes I wear are blown out of proportion or the area of Seoul I visited had bigger trousers sizes cause my size in Korea is smaller than where I’m from?

I also have the sizing problem but opposite. I’m size 00 or xxs in the US and clothes in Korea are always too large for me, especially skirts and pants.

👑👀😲W🤯W😲🤯😲
THANK ALMIGHTY GOD
FOR YOUR CREATION
THE ENTIRE WORLD IS GRATEFUL
ESPECIALLY ME ❤️🥰💍🌹😍🍾😘🥂

I'm about the same size as you. Would a S/M be an L in Korea?

no wonder so many koreans have eating disorders. this is just sad

Thanks a lot

Same in switzerland

Asian sizes are generally smaller

I passed by a cute shop in SK and asked for the 66size(M) and the attendant said, "No, you are not a 66!" She grabbed my waist and felt me up! I was so shocked. Then to top it off, she said, "Oh, you looked slim but you might be a 66." I was a size 4 (western). 😅

This is reverse scenario for me when I went to London I got the xxs and xs size pants thinking they would fit me when I tried them they were like a large I had to get them all altered

Yeah I'll never fit into S Korean or any Asian clothing. I'm a 14-16 in US

How could you possibly know if the item is defective before you open it???

I just bought my daughter a medium korean skirt & im very worried itll be too small & make her feel bad about herself on her birthday….

If I’m a small in Europe does that mean I am a large in Korea?

I think korean clothes will be best fit for me bcoz i am kinda short and slim so in india sometimes i need to buy clothes from kids section ( i am 5,2 and 44 kg)

It all the same in Japan. When you weight over 60 you need to use extra size. I'm 70kg and I need to use xxl pants and M to L size for top. I'm from Indonesia, when I buy pants usually 73 or xl, but xl in Japan and Korean brand just so tight around my thighs😅

I think they are XXS, XS, S and Medium because I’m between S and M and the biggest size they have (if at all) is M. I’m comparing to the European scale system so maybe in Korea M is already considered XL and were talking about the same

clothes are no problem for me cause I am thin, but my feet is quite large and in all the Korean shops I visit online, their biggest size is only 250 (38 eu I think??) what a shame :cc

what would 24inch pants be?

i thought that once the packaging is open you can't return it was something that was everywhere???

I'm normally a 2 or 1xl but I guess I'm 9xl 😊

I bought clothing in Korea one dress did not fit of course bought it anyway ⚠️😂it was from a small shop where she made the clothes herself I could tell she judged me so bad 😂 I fit the dress only 1 year later after serious diet and gym I was a size S then

I think I would be able to buy clothes luckily but I’m not going to travel to Korea anytime soon so I don’t really care.

Btw here is the thing

S - 4
M - 6
L - 8

Bruh. I think Koreans would think I'm some kind of giant

I wear smalls in american. In asian sizes i wear a meadium 😂

I'm a M but in Korean size I'm an XL 😵‍💫 LIKE WHATTTTTT.

Is there something wrong because in Sephora they won't even let you return the thing you bought even if you just took it out the packaging and didn't use it like whats going on 😭

I know I can’t find my size but I am about to rack up on some cute stuff for my daughter.

what size should i get if us size xs is usually too big??

Wow korea sucks, that fucking body not positive what when your plus siced? Go to stores with embarrassing names for people that are plus siced but dont even have larger clothes then normal stores?

This is why you shouldn't be so concerned over sizes in clothes. They are different in different places.

Im about a s/m in most clothing stores, but when shopping in asian brands, im usually about a medium to large/XL

If you're size M in Europe, you're basically size L in Asia. Their measurement/sizes are smaller in Asia. So, please be careful when goes shopping in Asia.

I'm literally too skinny, in my country ( India ) it's very hard to find my size cloths 😢 I really wants to go south korea

Most US stores operate the same way
You can’t return things after opening the packaging

That’s the experience I am getting in US, the size is a lot bigger 🥲 usually I am M but here I am not even an S 🤦🏾‍♀️

~~~~free size~~~~

The only thing I'd fit into in Korea is a bedsheet so no shopping for me my body could be split in half and I'd still wouldn't fit

As a Korean I can relate it’s rly annoying ❤❤

So you can't fit the clothes too? To make sure its your size?

What doesnt hurt you?

The return policy is pretty much the same in the UK. Unless you can prove that the product was defective then most makeup counters and beauty stores won't give you a refund.

The return policy in south korea is normal

I don’t even know my own sizes 😂

I thought you werent supposed to return anything after opening its packaging or ripping the tags off-

As a size L-XL, I defo don't think I'll find clothes that'd fit me in Korea :D
