5Tips
for a Better
Shopping Experience

THE NEW YEAR IS A GREAT TIME TO
UPGRADE YOUR WARDROBE.
Many guys feel intimidated by the idea
of shopping for clothing and accessories.
Here are 5 ways to have more fun shopping
for the items you need to look your
best.
Chill out. Find a shop where you feel
comfortable. If you are uncomfortable it
will be hard to find anything that feels
right. The atmosphere of the shop itself
(the music & decor) will have an effect on
your shopping mood. Find one you can
relate to.
Find a guide. I personally find that I
have a much better experience when I
find a salesperson who is knowledgeable
about the items that I am interested in
shopping for.
They can usually be depended upon for
advice on how the item should fit, what
colors look best together and
more importantly how they
look on you.
Follow the Money. Make sure
the salespeople are not working
on commission. They will
be much more likely to give
you an honest opinion about
how the items look on you.
Hard pressure sales tactics are
not conducive to an enjoyable
experience.
clothes is more important than any other
single factor. get to know your alterations
tailor.
Be Particular. Don't buy it unless it is
right (unless of course it can be altered
to fit). If you buy something that is a little
too tight or a color that is not your shade,
you are probably going to reach for something
else to wear.
Follow these simple tips and you will have
more fun in 2022 and you will look great
doing it!
