What part of clothe shopping annoys you most? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

As a 6'2 man the clothes I find which are right for my height are often very loose on me. And if I worry about the waist I look like a kid who grew a lot in the past 2 months and everything is too short for me.

Its not entirely universal, some stores are better than others. And I wear a lot of loose casual t-shirts so thats fine too. But finding dress shirts means some places work, some don't.

Pants. I have thicker thighs, especially when compared to my waist size. I find a lot of pants are pretty tight on me because of this. I've started going for the more athletic brands as a result.

Got anything to recommend? I'm a dude with butt and thighs that cause me to size up in the waist routinely, else I get the "pocket handles" thing, or just rip stuff lol.

If you buying more expensive trousers then you can have the waist tailored to reduce it. I typically buy 40" and have them reduced to a 34". Obviously, this isn't worth doing if you buying half a dozen for £50 from h&m or similar budget trousers.
