I'm a lot smaller than the average male (5'2" and 115 lbs) and I've had a difficult time finding clothing that fits and I really don't want to shop in the children's section. I've found some clothing at Express but I would like to have other options. I was wondering if anyone had any shopping suggestions? Thanks!
Some smaller cismen do wear women's jeans as it fits them better. You could also buy the smallest size in men's and get it altered.
I'm 5'4 but about 100lbs which makes it pretty difficult. I live in the UK so don't know if you have these shops in the US but river island and topman both go down to xxs which is a godsend. Ordering online can be helpful if you look at the size guides and make sure you measure yourself properly. Took me about 6 months to find the brands and sizes that fit my body well so it's really just trial and error.
I resisted shopping in the boys' section for a long time but recently just gave in, at least for tops. They just fit better than the things I find in the mens section. As for pants, I find that men's skinny jeans often can go down to sizes small enough to almost fit, a belt helps with the rest of the work. Boys pants don't have enough junk in the trunk to work for me
