Shopping advice please - probably from the ladies!

So I'm going clothes shopping later and I'm wondering which women's clothes shops now actually let you try things on?

I hate not being able to, I don't want to trudge back later to return things! I went once at the start of lockdown and hated it, and haven't returned since!

Where should I go??

Maybe I'd have had more responses if I asked men which changing rooms are open for naughty public fun lol

Have a look on the store websites you planning to visit and see if it says anything on those.

I'm yeah it's a good shopping centre, I wonder how much it's changed since the pandemic though! They do awesome snacks too, I always end up stuffing my face with a pretzel or a doughnut

I don’t know about women’s but all the men’s clothes shops I’ve been to since restrictions dropped, let me use the changing rooms?

Hey Kitty....

I am no use at all on this as I don't think I've been clothes shopping in about 4 years....

But you always deserve a bump

I was in H&M last Saturday, and the changing rooms were closed, but 3 days prior I was in a different H&M and those ones were open.

I hate shopping anyway, so if I were you kitty I'd find a good bar, plonk myself down and drink cocktails, whilst people watching and ordering on line

I didn't answer because I order everything on line and had done for years. If I do but anything in a shop I don't try it on. I have changing rooms with a passion

When I went to the poncho and sombrero emporium they wouldn’t let me try anything on, so on a whim I guessed the size, when I got home and tried them on the poncho was the size of a tent and the sombrero was the size of a dome, I probably should have realised they were too big when I couldn’t get them in my Smart car and had to get the bus home.

I went into New Look the other day and tried something on. I’ve not really noticed anywhere else I have been. I’m usually in a rush myself anyway and just try on at home. I work in town so it’s easy enough for me to return.

Enjoy your shopping trip and hope you find lots of nice things

bravissimo wouldn’t let me try on a bra either in the changing room or shop floor? I was only looking to buy something I could use as a ball bag sling
