Height 5.8 and wears jeans US size 6.

Just to settle a discussion at work: would you say this person is normal, slender or fat?

    Certainly not fat. Can't quite picture it in my head, but that seems quite a small clothing size for someone that tall. They're probably a normal weight, but appear on the slender side.

    I'd say slender, but not too much so :)

    I don't think height and jean size alone is enough to make a call here. However, since I'm 5.1, wear a size 5/6, and am considered "normal" (referring to size, not mentality :laugh: ), I would say average to slender. Again, it's hard to tell with just size and height.

    Slender (or on the very, very slim side of "normal").

    That's very hard to say...it depends on the person...

    I am 5.9" and wear a UK 8/10 which is pretty close to what you describe.

    I would say I am pretty "average" so that's what I'm going with. :happy:

    Lower end of normal...but height doesn't have a lot to do with Jean size.

    Slender to normal. Simply giving a size isn't a lot of information. Size 6 means something very different depending on the store or designer. :-) And body shape would affect that, too.

    But I wouldn't say size 6 in any case is fat.

    Slender to normal, depending on frame.

    I'd say that's bigger...
  • slender would be my guess.
  • I think it all depends on the build, too. For some people, if they wore a size 6, they would look anorexic, for others, it would be slender/normal. But, if you're talking about the person in the picture, I would stay slender.

    I would say Slender - they are quite tall and i think US size 6 is UK size 10 and in my opinion anyone who can fit into a size 10 is slender!!!

    hmm a think normal weight but appears slender because of height. I'm 5'7 and use size 7, and weigh 154 (average)

    Fat.











    Just kidding! No-one else had said it and I felt poor old "fat" was being neglected.

    Slender to normal. But what's normal?

    I was thinking normal to a bit overweight, but my colleagues think slender. I am not sure about the US size 6 - but apparently that must be slender.

    I think slender is the answer - most people said slender.

    Thank you guys for replying!

    I am 5'6" and a US size 6... and I weigh 142, which is in the upper range of "normal" BMI. I feel rather average... not fat but certainly not thin either... I mean, I'm 8 pounds away from being overweight. lol...

    I would guess that someone who is taller and also wears a US 6 would look a bit thinner than I do.

    5'8" is taller than average for a woman, and in a size 8, I'd say that person is on the very slim side- also age should be a factor, so not knowing the age of the person could make a difference in that equation too.
