It's hard for men. Big stores that just squeeze in a small section in the back for men. Trying 3 different items: one's too big, one's too tight, but they're all the same size.

I feel you. I'm 6'4" and the biggest hurdle is pants and shirt length. Unless they have tall sizes all shirts become halter tops if I even slightly raise my arms.

Pants are a pain in the ass too because I need at least 34" length for them to not be capris on me. Most companies just make all their pants 32".

There is a reason 90% of my clothing has come from Eddie Bauer for the last 15 years. I'm not particularly brand loyal. They just make clothes that fit me, and most companies don't.

I have a body that no clothes will fit. A very dramatic hourglass shape. If I see something cute, it definitely will not fit me.

Nothing. Fucking. Fits.

The worst part is the bras. The fucking bras!!! Why are US bra sizes so fucked?? I literally only wear ill-fitting sports bras now!!! Otherwise my tits are squeezed or wire stabs me or every other pain.

I also have stupid sensitive skin & hypohydrosis, so rashes & heat exhaustion are things I need to think about when getting dressed.

I have an unusually wide neck. Shirts, especially dress shirts won't fit both my neck and my arm length without tailoring. NGL not having to wear dress clothes was a a part of why I choose to do a computer science major and not a regular math major.

Shoes. They might fit in the store, they might fit at home when I walk around with them for 5-10 minutes, but once I take them outside and they get dirty, suddenly it hurts everywhere.

I've got a fat ass and thighs so all my bottoms are 2xl while my tops are just L. Makes it almost impossible to get a dress that fits comfortably and as soon as you enter potientialy fitting territory the price magically doubles

Sizing and needing to calculate.
Luckily I found a shop (online) that is nice to wear and has no bs sizing.
And it shows the real employees wearing the stuff.

I'm an Asian size Medium. American sizing puts me in an awkward middle of S and M. US Small fits best on my shoulders and arms, but the torso is too tight. On the other hand, US Medium fits well on my torso, but the shoulders are too wide and the sleeves too large.

For me it's that everything today is made out of some flavor of shitty plastic. Call ot whatever you want - "Active Wear", "Cool Breeze", "Dry Tech" - it's polyester, it feels terrible, and amps my BO up to 11 even if I'm just sitting still.

Look in your area for a shop that does ready-to-wear clothing alterations. Sometimes dry cleaners will offer those services. Altering a dress shirt to fit you better is a relatively inexpensive service and then you don't have to worry about this anymore. As a 6' tall woman, this is literally one of the reasons I learned to sew.

I have a big head and have trouble with hats. Particularly ball caps. They are supposed to be one-size-fits-all, but apparently, I am an exception to this. Even at the widest possible setting, they are too tight.

Paying of course.

Everything except pants. My legs are apparently within the bounds of normality but my head, hands, feet, and spine are simply too big.

You wouldn’t think being six feet tall would be such a hindrance to shopping. It’s not big enough to stand out in a crowd, so why is it so big as to be incompatible with mass production?

I fount some shirts that fit "tall" and they are fantastic!

Getting kicked out of occupied change rooms. Like, I thought sharing was caring

my chest is the widest part of my body and it requires me to buy tops that are larger than my size and almost impossible to find.

getting them online too doesn't help because the measurements are never correct.

Pants. I have thicker thighs, especially when compared to my waist size. I find a lot of pants are pretty tight on me because of this. I've started going for the more athletic brands as a result.

Deciding if I look a dick in the clothes I am trying on, or whether I really really look a dick in the clothes I'm trying on.

The one real advantage in going clothes shopping with a wife or girlfriend, for stuff for oneself.

We have excellent online stores like Zalando that have changed my life. I order, clothes are usually delivered the next day, and returning is as easy as putting it back into the same box and driving to the postal office again. Money back within a few days.

They have perfected the clothes shopping experience for men. No more going to awkward physical shops.

My size is known by the shop, and I can order lots of variations of the same clothes, different sizes, just to find the perfect one that really fits me.

I fucking hate cloths shoping, buying cloths is the most annoying part. I actually just bought new cloths, I haven't purchased new clotheing in many many years and more than half of my current shirts have numerous holes around the arm/neck areas. I think the holes add character but I feel like I look homeless and unkept. Not that I care but I feel bad for my partner, so I bought new cloths.
