do you try your clothes before buying them?

I usually try clothes on in shops before I make decisions, and it is not only to check if the size fits, I have to make sure the clothes doesn't look ridiculous on me. Many clothes have nice designs and patterns when you see them on display, but they look weird on human body. In order to avoid taking clothes back to shops, I would try them on before buying them. But for some general clothing, like vests and cardigans with simple colour and design, I tend to take them directly to the check-out, since it is easy to tell if they fit me or not.

No I don't always try them on before I buy them. I usually know what my size is in most brands and sometimes I buy a size bigger when I know the material is likely to shrink. Plus when I do go shopping, I really don't plan on bringing in my lil ones with me to try on things. The only time I try things on is like a swim suit where I know most places won't return them due to hygene issues.

Well, even though I am a guy, I reckon I have to try clothes on before buying them because I tend to be a bit of an awkward size. I have long legs and arms and that makes it difficult at time. If clothes fit on my waist then the arms and legs tend to be too short, and if the arms and legs are long, then the waist tends to be too big. It has always been a problem with me and I have often to get clothes made to measure.. _Derek

I don't really like to try clothes before buying them because I think I will be very embarrass when I can't fit it them. That is what that makes me seldom buy new clothes. But when I am really in the mood to do shopping for new clothes, I will try every cloth that caught my eye sight.

Definitely I need to try on the clothes that I want to but for just looking at the size won't work for me. I don't have a perfect body shape, for example sometimes a small shirt will fit my body but not in my arms or shoulder area so I need to be careful to ensure I won't just waste my money.

Hi harry89, I know I don't try clothes on before buying them simply because I usually go clothes shopping after work.What I mean is I would rather take the clothes home and have a bath or shower then try on the clothes.If they don't fit I simply go back the next day and change them for a different size. Plus I once had a bad experience in a clothing changing room when one of the assistance swept back the curtain and asked if I needed any help.A good thing I had already got the article of clothing on before she did it.So I vowed ever since then to buy,try and either keep or return the next day.

I don't usually try on clothes. I know what size I wear and my daughter and granddaughter and I have cetain likes and dislikes that if I buy something and decide it doesn't fit me right or I don't like it I Let them try it and if they like they keep it. If not, I take it back and try again. This doesn't happen very often.

Before I buy I make sure that the clothes is fit to me. This is my habit when I buy clothes or pants. I don't like to be regret after because the clothes I buy is not fit to me...

Hi Harry, I just realized that its been a real long time that I went for shopping clothes. Actually since my illness, I rarely move out of house and my loving and caring wife does almost all the shopping for me. But yes, when I used to be healthy, and venture out to buy clothes, I rarely tried on anything before making a purchase. Reason is that I know my sizes - I prefer the XXL sizes for shirts and Tees and as these are standards, I never thought of trying out them. For trousers, I did try on a few occasions but the problem is that I am tall and thin - a difficult combo to get ready made trousers. So I prefer having them stitched locally. I try out them before settling in and paying out to the tailor. Cheers, theSids

Yes I always try on cloths before I buy them to make sure they are the right size and to make sure the cloths feal right on me since some types of clothing does not feal good on my skin and makes me hot.

Sometimes i do but i would say most of the time i don't as i am that busy. i would just see if i like it, check the size and price then buy it.

Of course i,m always try my clothes before i,m going to buy them.Its a difficult to understand whether clothe stand right to me,and mainly how i look in that clothe.Usually i,m so particular to all my clothes especially for my shoes.I think that the most important is to like yourself in clothes,otherwise no meaning.

Unfortunately I do not try clothes before buying most of the time and I have ended up getting clothes of wrong fitting or some defects at times. Its really very frustrating when this things happen and you have to go back to the shop to exchange them. The reason I do not try clothes many times is that there are no trying rooms available at the shops I purchase. I make it a point to try clothes first where ever I see a changing room in the shop. This makes my purchase worth always. I have learnt this hard lesson after doing many round-ups to change clothes when they do not fit, that its always better to purchase from a store where they have changing rooms and where you can check your clothes and fitting in advance so it does not create further issues :P. After all experiences make you wiser and clever :P.

i always try clothes before buying them. you can see the fit of the cloth and find out whether the cloth suits your body and face or not. and usually there is a difference in sizes of various brands and styles, so i check the fit always and before purchasing i can see which size fits me the best. i think it is must to check before purchasing as it increases our satisfaction of shopping... have fun.

I dont to often have time to try things on before I buy them. I like to so I know if they fit before buying them but with two active kids with me its not easy to try clothes on so usually I have to wait until I get them home to try them on. Then more often then not I have to return them because they dont fit. I hate that. Its such a waste of time and effort.

no, unfortunately not. sometimes i just buy it whenever i see a clothes that i like. i just in love with the clothes and i forget to fit it

If i get them from a normal store, yes. But lately i get some of them from the internet so, no. Iknow it's important but if they don't fit i just sell them on back on the internet. I made some money like that. If i buy something really expensive i try them on for sure!

Personally, I try all sorts of clothes before I buy them. But usually I don't buy them anyway even after I try them on, since I hate spending X) I just like to feel special just for a short moment. Reason I don't buy too many clothes because I already have too many and they just get spoiled after a while, I'll be happy getting rich and still wearing poor man clothes. mwahaha

I really hate to try clothes, If i saw it and like it i will buy it, because i know my size, I know my taste in clothes, I don't want to waste my time trying. I just pay it and go home.

hello harry. Yes I do try clothes before I buy them. Before I dont try, I used to buy it directly. Since I bought a shirt that was too fit for me, that was when I told to my self that I should try it first before buying. Since what happen till now I will try it first before buying. Some brands of shirt are different in sizes, I mean the large of one brand is much larger than the other brand. I observed it since then. So try it first before buying. Thanks...
