As for me, I like shopping. But only if I know where I am going. Just look for the nearest shop on a website like http://trantr.com and choose the most appropriate one. Shopping won't be a problem then :)

I despise shopping for clothes. I cannot even remember what sizes I wear!

I hate to go clothes shopping. I find it almost impossible to find the size in what I am looking for.

Yes.

Though I don't particularly like it, trying things on aren't a huge problem for me. But the combination of the lighting and lots of people and sounds gets pretty overwhelming, and tend to make me shut down or feel panicky.

I also have a lot of problems with choosing clothes. Both because I have trouble choosing in general, and because I know I have a poor sense of what looks good on me or not. So… yeah, the combination of that and the sensory issues makes it pretty miserable.

And I only go to clothes stores when I absolutely have to.

I hate shopping for clothes. It is so difficult to find something that is comfortable. Because of this, once I find something that fits and is comfortable, I tend to continue buying that same item until it is discontinued.

Shopping for pants is such a long, tiring, slow process for me. Because I have an hourglass figure(waist is smaller in comparison to my hips) I run into either one of two problems:
-the waist is the right size, but my thighs are too big
-the pants fit, but the waist is too big(a common problem with high waisted pants)
Or sometimes the pair of pants is just too loose altogether.....


Try Levis Demi-Curve Classic Rise Straight Cut. It might come up a little high in the waste but it's the best fit I've found since The Gap discontinued a better fitting low rise model.

i only get enthusiastic about clothes with certain logos/themes on them. otherwise, you have to drag me to a clothing store. but there's nothing i hate as i hate suits. they don't (pun intended) suit me.

I absolutely HATE shopping for clothes........ Especially clothes with tags on the inside. If there are no tags on the inside, it's a bit more durable, though I still hate it. Part of the reason I hate it is because I'm pretty big, though. I have an odd body shape, and nothing ever fits right because of it. I hate seeing my sizes go up too :P Most of the clothes I want are online, too, so there's no telling what they'll feel like or if they'll fit.

I used to love it, now I can't stand the thought of spending money on clothes for pleasure.

What's the point if they are going to eventually get torn up? Not to mention I'm not feminine physically.

I would rather spend money on video games and manga. You're never too fat or ugly for those things.

I used to detest shopping for clothes. If something didn't fit because it was too small, I'd freak out because I couldn't get it off. And I'm not claustrophobic but those small fitting rooms did cause me to act like one. That's why I ever try on any clothes in the shop itself anymore. I take them home and if they don't fit, I go back to the store. I actually am going to go shopping tomorrow with a good friend of mine and it will mainly be shopping for clothes.

I don't particularly enjoy it because it can be hard to find things that fit, and feeling the pressure of trying to find all my clothes in one day probably does not help. I don't typically shop specifically for clothing that much, and will spend the least amount of time possible in any stores the lights/noise bother me but there are quite a few I can tolerate alright. Like today I wasn't really looking for clothes but found some pretty cool pants on sale so got those...while browsing Hot Topic, and those usually have dark walls/shelves and not all that bright of light so not really a store I complain about spending any amount of time in unless its really crowded...not to mention I have found a lot of shirts and such on clearance and they always have buy one get one 50% of on pretty much everything. I probably do most shopping in malls/shopping centers where there is more selection of stores and If I get sick of one I can just go to another, or I can find similar items in different stores at different prices and go with the better deals...though I try to avoid them during super busy hours.

But yeah the last few times I've gotten any clothes I wasn't specifically shopping for them...but if I see something I like then I'll get it especially if its something I've been kind of looking for. I have found size 0 jeans usually fit though I still have to fold many of them at the bottom because they can still be too long but that varies and I don't mind the tighter fitting sort so long as the material stretches somewhat...I would not endure levis or simular types for instance, I've tried on a few of those and they're always uncomfortably tight/stiff around the waist/hip/butt area.....then of course with super skinny jeans I cannot cram my legs into those so I don't get to find out if they fit around the waist or butt.

I take a 3x most places size chart wise. I got told that I "insist" that I take that size. I may not look like their idea of a 3x because my weight is well distributed. It has to be if I look like a 1x or even a 2x.

One time I even got told that an XL should fit me.

Not to mention that I cannot shop in stores because I live so far away from any mall or store. So online is really the only place.

I have things that are a XL, 1x and 2x that fit though.
