Men's clothes seem to be more rational, for which I envy them. All I've managed to figure out over the years is a few designers/manufacturers to stay away from because whatever body type they use for their patterns is emphatically not mine. When it comes to sizes, though, I kind of guess and hope and spend a lot of time in changing rooms to test things out. *sigh*
I wore turtlenecks and mock-turtlenecks in self-defense against underheated rooms in high school, college, and a couple office jobs... but since the smoke shop was invariably overheated, I put those shirts aside for eight years. I suppose I only kept them as a talisman of maybe getting another office job again someday instead of spending the rest of my life in retail. And as it turns out, that is what has happened so hey! Apparently I can see the future! *wry*
