Went into Preston today and the options were pretty poor and limited. My go to is pretty much Next, M&S and H&M but the range of anything decent was lacking.

I know there’s online options but it’s nice to physically try the clothes on before buying.

    Yeah, I lost quite a bit of weight and had to rebuy my wardrobe, often with no idea what my fit is now. So, for example, I looked up what Next had to offer on the trouser front (and back - not making the assless chaps mistake again) and it was a lot so I thought I’d pop into one on the local industrial estate. Unfortunately, they had mile upon mile of racks of jeans and chinos but pretty much nothing else. I had to regroup, go online and order a few in different sizes and cuts, try them on and return the rest.

    Best I can tell, the shops have given up being more than glossy showrooms for the basics, and you have to go online for the full range.
