What's your hit rate when shopping for clothing (casual wear)?
Trying to figure out if I'm uniquely bad at this, or if it's normal and I just need to be buying more stuff to increase successes, or instead skill-up and reduce the failure rate. I think once I've walked out of a store with clothing, there's maybe a 50% chance per item that it actually works out for me.
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.
