Buying clothes

"Mirrors removed from store changing rooms as survey finds three-quarters of women are put off buying clothes by their reflection"

Having read an article recently saying the high street has taken a massive hit to online shopping, isn't this a backwards step??? Surely being able to try items on and look in the mirror is half the battle!

My own little world

I don't try clothes on when I buy them. I wait until I'm at home, then I complain that they look crap on me lol.

But yes I think it's a silly move x

Well whats the point then trapsing stuff home trying it on then taking it back again. Whose going to buy stuff without seeing what they look like.

I think its possibly the mentality of online ordering you can only see what it looks like once you have it at home and tried it on in front of a mirror.

If their not totally 100% happy they may well have the "it'll do" attitude when weighing up the hassle of sending items back vs keeping them, where as if they can see there and then in a shop changing room mirror their not 100% happy their going to be far more likely to say nah don't like it and not buy.

So removing mirrors helps to tap into the online ordering mentality if they can't really see how it looks until they get home they then have to consider going back to the shop, then the "it'll do" attitude may hit.

on the road to nowhere in particular

I can't imagine anyone wanting to buy fashionable clothes on line. You need to know they will fit and God forbid, actually suit you

I think you might be right.

I never try clothes on but I rarely buy anything in a shop unless it's a charity shop. I'm a stickler for sending things back though unless I paid tuppence for it from China

but i can sit on my arse and order online and the post office is less than five minutes away if needed to be returned.

To go to high street clothes shops its 25 miles half hour on the train fucked if im doing that to just take stuff back. Plus if say i want a dress i might take 5 in to see which looks best im not going to buy 1 itemx

5 everytime i see something i like

Men don't like taking stuff back to shops, so we try stuff on and get our wives to take them back for us

i buy everything online. i know what suits me and what doesn't.

if clothes shpos stopped selling badly fitting clothes then maybe they'd see a rise. i look and it's always granny type stuff that is fashionable and nothing that flatters figures really.
