This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

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
