I do not know about you, but most people find Christmas shopping very stressful. Traipsing from shop to shop looking for gifts for your list of loved ones. The jostling in the cold or the snow, but it does all seem worth it when you find something that you know will be treasured by the recipient. One of the most popular types of presents is clothing.
However, buying clothing is not easy either, unless you know the person concerned very well indeed. Some people are very fussy about the colours and even the labels they wear. Some might get offended if you buy the wrong size, especially if you buy something a few sizes too big. The fabric can also cause a problem if the recipient is allergic to it.
In spite of these problems, presents of clothing are still popular, so I will give a few suggestions on buying clothing for others for novices, who will probably be mostly single young men.
Size is a problem for some articles of clothing like slacks, skirts, and blazers, whereas it is best to get it wrong in favour of the larger sizes if you are buying a sweater or a jumper as baggy jumpers and sweaters look good too and are even stylish. Men’s shirts on the other hand should be the right size, while women’s blouses can be a size too big depending on the style of the blouse.
Neither shirts nor blouses may be too small, because they are uncomfortable and make it look as if the wearer has gained weight. Underwear has to fit properly too.
Therefore, when selecting clothing for someone whose size you are unsure of, choose one of the items above for which the correct size is not too important. Otherwise you will have to ask the size from someone who could know. Large people often like to wear baggy clothing.
Colour is another complication, but the safest bet, if you do not know the recipient’s preferences is to buy a colour that you have seen that person wearing most often. Otherwise, go for traditional colours such as a white shirt or blouse. Many largish people like to wear black too because it is said to make the wearer look slimmer.
As for style, that is very difficult. One way you can get around this though is to point out a style, say on TV or in a magazine and say that you like it asking for the intended recipient’s point of view. If you are not in a position to do this because of distance or time, then you would be better off buying something traditional.
Traditional clothing does not go out of fashion as quickly as the latest craze. Or buy something that should be worn on holiday. I do not mean swim wear, but perhaps a smock or poncho that can be worn when one has had sufficient sun. They can be several sizes too big and height is almost more important than girth.
If you follow these guidelines you ought to be able to find some article of clothing for the people on you gift list.
