Facing a New York winter (not my usual!), I walked into stores to purchase a proper parka. Hah. No go. Next time, I'll carry a sign:"PETITE WOMEN AREN'T SHORT MEN." Is there some math behind why it's still so hard to design for a wider range of people? Are short women that rare?

SAME! I hated biking till I encountered a bike that was actually designed for women—not a smaller men's bike. I was old enough to be armed with just the right credit card, purchased it on the spot even though it was expensive. I *loved* biking since.https://twitter.com/LilaHickey/status/1462457196092870663 …

Right! That’s why Rhianna’s makeup line has been so profitable.

Number of times I've tried to buy gloves at stores like Zara that only come in M and L. Like seriously? People with small hands are impervious to cold?

I used to work in a shoe store. There were a lot of smaller men looking for size 7 shoes, but most men’s shoes aren’t stocked in stores below an 8 or 7.5 in North America. I kept saying we needed to stock them more and was told no one buys them. Self-fulfilling.

I can’t find it, but I gather there is an urban planning maxim about not bothering to build a bridge across a river at a spot where insufficient traffic is currently swimming across.

Aka: the story of attractive plus-sized clothing for women. It’s finally (kind of) starting to move in the right direction, but it took so very long.

Look to the fancier outdoor gear companies like arcteryx or Patagonia or stio. My wife is a petite lady and has excellent success with those companies. Their stuff stands up to our active outdoor lifestyle for years.
