I can understand uniquely shaped clothes (halter tops, etc) but why not pants, skirts, suits, etc?

Men’s clothing is going in the same direction, but with numbers that used to make sense. Size 34 pants are often really a 36. And since nobody wears pants at their actual waist anymore they can get away with it relatively easy. Kilts (even the mass produced like Utilikilt or Damn Near Kilt ’em) and some dress clothing seem to be the last holdouts. Also uniforms for police and military.
