My mom gave me the awesome idea to keep a notebook of the sizes from each brand that fits me. I've been doing this my whole life and it has been a life saver.

I just try it on.

This is the reason I still visit stores, much as I am loath to leave the cocoon. Shout out to lovely store assistants, they make a massive difference

I buy from the store the first time and buy online for subsequent items.

Another solution (under the assumption that they are consistent internally and across product lines)

Main problem is, when you are tall (1,92m to be exact) and Its almost impossible to find anything that fits.

Last time I had to buy pants I visited like 6 different stores in the next (quite big) city and I could not find a single pair of pants that was ling enough and did not cost 100€ per pair. I exclusively looked in the men's section, since there is no chance I Am ever going to find something in the women's section. After a frustrating day I just ended up ordering online.

Ope, and yeah that only worked for me early in transition. A year or two in I had too much hips for men's pants. Fortunately I'm only 1.8m
