Do you like shopping for clothes?

Do you? Really? The recent research suggests that women hate shopping and almost half of them is reluctant to rifle through the store racks.

Personally, I put it down to the poor choice of clothes in shops. It may seem that the stores offer a wide variety of different styles, colours and sizes and most women should have no problem to find something suitable for them. But the reality shows that it's the other way round and a trip to the stores is a pretty depressing experience.

Shopping for clothes put women under the great pressure. Not only they have to find clothes that fit them perfectly but also should they look fashionable in their newly bought outfit. What's more, it would be wonderful if they didn't spend a fortune on their clothes as trends are changing every few months. Meeting all these demands is simply impossible for most, if not all, of us.

Well, to be precise, we have to make a tremendous effort even to buy clothes that really fit us. Most manufacturers don't notice that women differ from one another in their shapes and sizes. Thin women can have small or large breasts, be short or tall, their waist can be slim or not. There are hundreds of possibilities to take into consideration. 

Think twice before you answer. Do you really like shopping for clothes?
