The high street fashion chain New Look are charging an extra £2 for a pair of their Hula boot cut jeans. For any size below an 18 the jeans are £10 but for anyone a size 18 plus the price goes up by £2 to £12 per pair of jeans.
They follow in the footsteps of Marks and Spencer who were slammed last month by customers for charging extra for their plus size underwear mainly bras that are a size DD or over.
Both companies state that they would usually absorb the extra cost that larger sizes entail, such as extra material etc but sometimes have to pass the extra cost onto their customers.
Considering most women in the UK are a size 16-18 customers feel these problems are unfair, as a customer fairly pointed out women who are a size 4 or 6 dont get a discount so why should larger women have to pay more?!
