Cardinal Rule of Shopping: Try It On

One of the things I hate about going shopping with my boyfriend is that he refuses to try anything on. If I ask if he has the right size or wants to try on another pair - so I can give my opinion of course, he’ll go up a size and say, “Well, I know this will fit.” What? That doesn’t even make sense to me!

My roommate is the opposite. She tries things on, but only if she likes them. As a graphic designer, she’s very very picky about color and pattern and shape and all those things.  However, she’s been known to buy things just because the tag is well-designed.

I really believe that both my roommate and my boyfriend are missing out on things because they don’t try things on -especially my roommate. My boyfriend doesn’t care about clothes - ironic, right?

I have another friend who will try on anything and everything. She claims that she does this because she thinks she’s hot enough to wear anything. And the thing is, most of what she tries on looks great on her. Really though, she knows why “Try it on” is the most important rule of shopping.

Any ideas?

When you try something on, you might find something you like that you never would have worn in another circumstance. A color, a cut or a style that you don’t think you’d like just might be your new favorite piece of clothing.
