'Lucky' Calls This Suit Perfect For Every Body Shape — It's Not And Neither Are These 10 One Size Fits All Pieces
It pains me that we still live in a world where "one size fits all" is a thing. Haven't we learned? Apparently not. Lucky Mag recently published an article praising American Apparel's string bikini as the "perfect" swimsuit for almost every body type. What's worse is that the models they chose to showcase the "perfect" bikini were all small-breasted, size XS/S ladies, which most definitely did not represent their argument of "almost every body type." And although they may have made a huge editorial boo boo in doing so, they're definitely not the only ones who are supporting this notion of "one size fits most." There are countless retailers that carry items that only come in — yup, you guessed it — one size.
It isn't just lazy retailing, it's also super offensive and delivers the message that all their consumers should be able to squeeze into a "super stretchy" pair of leggings or dress. How could they completely ignore the fact that a woman's body comes in all different shapes and sizes? I'm not sure. At any rate, here are ten of the most ridiculous "one size fits all" items you can actually shop right now.
Brandy Melville Halter Top
Besides the fact that this model doesn’t look a day older than 15, there’s also the fact that she’s got the body type of Kate Moss.
Brandy Melville Sachi Halter, $11, brandymelville.com
Chiffon Oversized Button-Up
I’m going to go ahead and say that this chiffon blouse isn’t “oversized” on everyone and maybe just tiny AA models like this chick.
American Apparel Chiffon Oversized Button-Up, $40, americanapparel.com
One Size Sexy Cami
The secret is out, Victoria — that cami was made for Lily Aldridge and Lily Aldridge alone.
Victoria’s Secret One Size Sexy Cami, $9.99, victoriassecret.com
Embroidered Crochet Racerback Tank
Oh, by the way, these are the model’s stats: 5’10”, 34 bust, 25 waist. So, that’s that.
Embroidered Crochet Racerback Tank, $19.80, forever21.com
Hanky Panky Low-Rise- Thong
Let’s be honest with ourselves — if you were any bigger than this model (which many of us are), that low-rise would fall wayyyy too low.
Hanky Panky Low Rise Thong, $14, herroom.com
Brandy Melville Karen Dress
Just because you describe this dress as “super stretch” doesn’t mean you can fool us.
Karen Dress, $30, brandymelville.com
Midnight Bouquet Leggings
Again, let’s review the model’s stats here, shall we? 5’7.5”, 24” waist, 34.5” hips.

One Size Sexy Shortie
Candice Swanepoel, I love you, but I don’t buy that these shorties are really one size fits all.

Modernist Cable Knit Sweater
Just because you cut huge slits on the side of a sweater doesn’t make it “one size.”

Cute Cat Swimsuit
There’s not kitten cute enough that will distract us from the fact that this is one itty bitty swimsuit.
