Sizes...

Venturing into my favorite store, Magma, in Uruguay, I decided to try different garments in different sizes to find out which ones fitted me the most.
Three different sizes fitted me well. I am usually a size small but with some pieces I decided to go for a medium just because Im more into loose fitting outfits now.

I decided to try on two different pair of pants in size small (one of them was a size 36 which is equivalent to a size small). One was a cigarette style pant and the other one was an oxford. Neither of them were long enough to reach my ankles, though the oxford ones were a few inches shorter.
Of course the fit was different, the cigarette ones were more baggy and the oxford ones were very loose.
Moreover, a significant difference that I found was the fit at my waist. Since the cigarette pants had an adjustable string "belt" if I didn't tie it up,  the pants were big. Whereas the oxford ones had an elastic at the waist and they were tighter.
