For years I've dreaded clothes shopping. One reason is nothing ever fits my jokey-esqe statue. Picking up shirts and pants excitedly and then trying them on only to be disappointed was the norm. Now the things are different. Now I shop in ...
(drumroll)
The Boys Section. There are two big advanatages here. First I find clothes that actually fit and secondly I can pay a fraction of the price for them. However there are downsides. The only people in the boys section are usually 10 year old boys and their moms.The other big problem is the boy's section of a deparment store is usually on a whole other floor then the men's section. This presents a difficulty when finding a fitting room. You either have to haul your clothes downstairs on the escalator or enter a fitting room decorated with clown and sailboat paintings. After surviving the fitting session your faced with the cashier. I feel awkward buying kids clothes, so its nice to have another person with you when you approach the register. I usually say something like "How long till Brian will outgrow these pants?". Anything that hints that the clothes aren't for you. What I don't recommend is bribing kids to come to the register with you. Especially children you run into the kids dressing room. If the parents catch view your intentions may appear less than innocent.
Overall the experience is not easy, but you'll be celebrating as you leave the store with clothes that fit at bargain prices.
