![]() I talk to so many people who truly hate shopping for clothes. But even if you like it, it can be challenging. Here are a few ways to make it a little easier: Avoid Crowds. Go when the stores are less crowded, like when they first open or weeknights. Obviously, this is not always possible, but it's less stressful to have more space to look at the racks, more available salespeople, and no waiting for the fitting rooms. Wear Comfy Clothes. Wear clothes and shoes that are easy to take on and off, with a camisole that can be left on. Slip-on shoes are much easier than something with ties or worse, boots. Try Two Sizes. Take two sizes of everything into the room. Sizing is incredibly inconsistent, even within the same stores and brands, so don't assume you know your size in a particular garment. Keep Options in Mind. Find fit first, then color. If you love the style and fit, ask about having the color you like shipped to you or sent from another store, if not in stock. Be patient with yourself and remember you can always finish at another time, and return items that don't work out once you get them home. Know yourself, and whether you shop best alone or with a friend or relative. If I'm serious about finding what I need, I usually do best by myself. Don't give up and try to enjoy it!
