Small-Scale Question Sunday for May 24, 2026

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

75%. Slowly moved up over time from a bottom of like 20% when mom stopped buying clothes for me.

It took me a long time to figure out I like cotton, some polyester, and hate most other fabrics. It took me longer to figure out I dislike clothes with the brand name displayed. And so on. A decades long trial and error process, and I still make mistakes because I shop mostly online now and it's hard to judge fit from a picture. 90% if I happen to buy in person, I rarely miss then.

I will say that I no longer care how I look and that comfort, fit, and price are all I care about in that exact order. Most of my clothes is from Target, Old Navy, and Gap.
