Adult women try on Uniqlo children’s clothes, which leads to controversy. Clerk: I dare not remind them, for fear of being complained.
Children’s clothing contaminated by adults trying on it.
Recently, the news that "Uniqlo forbids adults to try on children’s clothes" was posted on the hot search. According to a survey conducted by Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star journalists, this incident originated from the fact that a large number of adult women recently tried on children’s clothes in Uniqlo, ZARA and other stores, and then posted photos of themselves on the Internet.
A staff member of Uniqlo said that Uniqlo introduced children’s clothes in size 160 long ago, in order to make them available to some petite girls. However, since the new products came on the market this spring, a large number of female customers have tried on children’s clothes much smaller than themselves. "Girls with a height of about 170cm go to the fitting room with children’s clothes of size 120, and directly stretch the clothes, and the clothes can only be scrapped … … And parents may mind trying on their children after knowing this kind of thing. "
Phenomenon: adults try on children’s clothes and print pictures online.
Recently, a large number of photos of adult women drying themselves trying on children’s clothes in Uniqlo, ZARA and other stores have appeared on online platforms such as Xiaohongshu and Weibo. According to some bloggers, adults try on children’s clothes because of the popular "BM style". BM style comes from an Italian brand — — Brandy Melville, some tops of this brand are short, delicate and tight.
As you can see on the online platform, people have been drying photos of themselves wearing children’s clothes since last year. Some photos were taken in the fitting room, and some bloggers claimed to wear them after buying them. Some bloggers with tens of thousands of fans introduced in the video, "The children’s wear style is very powerful recently. In fact, everyone wants to wear the same girlish style as BM when buying children’s wear. Some children’s clothes from Uniqlo are very cute, so I will buy some and wear them with my son. "
The reporter consulted a blogger who posted photos of wearing children’s clothes on the Internet. The video showed that she changed her children’s clothes after comparing the size gap between children’s clothes and her adult clothes in the fitting room of Uniqlo. She said that she is 160cm tall and weighs 50kg, and she is not thin. The children’s clothes of size 150 she wore were tried on with the consent of the shop assistant.
When the reporter asked if this product was comfortable, she said, "It’s definitely not as comfortable as adults’ clothes, but the size 150 is quite large." When the reporter asked if she bought the product, she said she didn’t, because the sleeves were too short. "In some places, you can try any size, and in some places, adults can only wear size 150."
Shop assistant: An adult tried on 10 children’s clothes.
Regarding whether Uniqlo will prohibit adults from trying on children’s clothes under size 160, the reporter called a number of Uniqlo stores in Shanghai and Chengdu. Some store staff said that they would not prohibit customers from trying on children’s clothes and would not give suggestions. Some stores said that they would advise taller customers not to wear children’s clothes of size 120 and 130.
Mr. Lin, who works in a Uniqlo, said that Uniqlo introduced children’s clothes in size 160 long ago, in order to make them available to some petite girls. However, since the new products came on the market this spring, a large number of female customers tried on them with children’s clothes much smaller than their own sizes. "Now we are all used to it." When the reporter asked them if they would remind them when they saw customers holding clothes with sizes different from their bodies and wanted to try them on, Mr. Lin said that he was afraid to remind them because he was afraid that customers would complain.
The reporter visited a Uniqlo in Chengdu and saw obvious brown stains on the neckline of a 110-size white children’s wear. The clerk said that this kind of children’s clothing is the kind that adults have tried. There have been many similar situations recently. Too many people try it on and many clothes will get dirty. Another Uniqlo clerk in Chengdu said that many people did come to try it on recently. She is also curious why so many people have come to try it on recently. "Maybe I saw someone drying on the Internet and wanted to come and experience the feeling of online celebrity."
The above-mentioned clerk recalled that some customers would take one for each size from 110 to 160 in order to try out the clothes that looked the closest to them. Girls with a height of about 170cm go to the fitting room with children’s clothes of size 120, and directly support the clothes, which can only be scrapped. What impressed her most was that a customer took 10 children’s clothes of different styles and colors, sizes 130 and 140, and wanted to try them on, but was stopped by the clerk. "Children are sensitive to some bacteria. There are lipstick and foundation on the neckline. We can only use dry cleaning agents to wash them. If they can’t be washed, they will be sold as B products. And parents may mind trying on their children after knowing this kind of thing. " The clerk said.
Company: it is not prohibited, but it is recommended to try it on in the right size.
A netizen once argued with adults who tried on children’s clothes in Little Red Book. "My daughter wore children’s clothes of size 110 when she was four years old. My daughter was a slightly thinner child below the average weight, and she didn’t feel very loose in it, but just comfortable. I don’t quite understand how people who are 164cm tall wear children’s clothes of size 110. " The netizen said that after they had an argument, they were reported and were forbidden to reply to messages in the comment area.
"I just started to use the little red book recently. I don’t know why I recommended children’s clothes as soon as I went in. One in ten pushed adults to wear children’s clothes. I think it is normal for some petite girls to buy sizes 140 and 150, but there is something wrong with size 110. " Then she measured her daughter’s size 110 children’s clothes, and measured the chest circumference of the clothes and found that it was only 62cm. She is 168cm tall and weighs 48kg. She also tried on her daughter’s size 110 children’s clothes herself. "I really feel almost suffocated."
According to the above-mentioned netizens, some parents around her reported "disgusting" after seeing this kind of thing. "Everyone likes BM style, so buy this style of clothes. Don’t try on children’s clothes casually."
On March 3, Uniqlo officially replied to the reporter that Uniqlo respects the needs of consumers to try on clothes and does not stipulate that adults can’t try on children’s clothes. "Consumers can choose, try on or buy clothes according to their own needs and preferences. However, in order to avoid affecting other consumers’ buying experience or damaging the quality of clothes due to trying on, Uniqlo advises consumers to choose clothes of suitable size for trying on according to their own situation, while maintaining the hygiene and integrity of clothes during trying on, and taking care of clothes together. " Uniqlo said in response. (Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star Journalist Guo Yimeng Lan Wei)
