Having trouble phrasing this, so in case it’s not clear I’m not looking for casual misogyny thanks

Having a debate with a friend about whether men shopping with women can be fun and I’m wondering how coloured my view of this is by me and my ex.

I’d love to hear what makes a great shopping experience for you with your friends or significant others!

    I prefer to buy things online. I’m assuming your wife is the same but sometimes shops in person to try stuff out. Something that really helped me was taking my body measurements and checking the size charts online.

      Yep, online shopping for quality things that I’m not going to have to replace often is way better than shopping in person. Knowing how to measure correctly, especially bra measurement is super important and I don’t return much at all.

        For clothes, half the trick is being able to get consistent sizes. One of the reason I’ve been getting CarHartt lately is that they not only have more size information than most but I can actually get the same fit more than once.

        LLBean used to be good with this too, but now that all my ancient LLBean clothes are starting to show their wear, I can no longer find the same “model” of anything. Of course this may be a downside of clothes that last longer

      That’s a great idea about the body measurements and comparing them to the size charts. I’ll let her know about that. Thanks.
