There’s a leather store in Wilton Manors, FL that you can get naked in to try on the leather and other sexy clothes. Workers can choose to be as naked as they want to be too.

But yes, you’d have to wear some clothes to travel to that store.

Technically you could just use a tablecloth or a trash bag. And it’s only really a requirement if anybody says anything ;)

Only shoes and shirts... Nowhere does it say I have to wear pants.

At some point somewhere in your family, the last homespun piece of clothing was created and worn in order to go out and buy another one from a store

People before clothes were invented also need leaves to go to the leaf stores

Yes thank your mom for that or the nice person who made sure you had the clothes on your back that you went shopping for your own clothes the first time.

My parents did that for me. I did that for my children and other children too.

OP suffering by conforming to social norms. I still remember the old days when our mother would herd us all in the car to go naked mall shopping on Saturday

Not when I buy clothes from Amazon. They let you try them on and return for free.

Honestly, sometimes for brief periods of time I think argh I wish I could just go to the shops naked. Like when I’m in a nightie or pjs and I have to change bra on coat and all that on. BUT then I think well it would be uncomfortable eg barefoot, what if it’s cold. (I mean if we were allowed to this is what I mean) and then also as well as not wanting everyone else to have to put up with my wobbly bits I’m glad I don’t have to put up with everyone else’s wobbly bits and glad I don’t live in a nudist colony!

I mean, you can probably use just anything that would cover you up, it doesn’t need to be real clothes

cyankitten t1_j1vy3cp wrote

I literally put on certain types of clothes TO GO CLOTHES SHOPPING. Like sometimes no or minimal jewellery, things easy to take off, also I tend to try to wear things I’ll probably wear the clothes with: like I wear a lot of tops or tunics over tights and with a long sleeved top under it. So I usually make sure I’m wearing that when I clothes shop.

Not with Nordstrom.

That app is awesome.

Free shipping and free returns.

I haven't really gone in to a clothes store to buy clothes in a long time, the closest has been to try on shoes to see what size I needed to buy online.

I once rode my bike 50 miles to have Thanksgiving at my fiancee's family's place, but neglected to account for clothes. My future MIL took me to Kohls and I picked out a few new sets of work clothes while wearing cycling spandex and bicycle cleats.

Everybody gangsta until sentient robots are a thing and you have to take them to the clothing store in a blanket or something because you don't have any clothes that fit them.

I was returning some pants. I took a short cut in a subway tunnel and fell in some mud, ruining my pants. The very pants I was returning.

I don't understand - you were wearing the pants you were returning?

Well...yeah, I guess I was.

But what were you going to wear home?

Elaine, are you listening? I never even got there!

Not if you shop online. I may do most of my online shopping undressed.

Well, I’m on the phone with my friend Bob Saccamano, and I realize right then and there that I need to return this pair of pants. So, I’m off to the store. I’m waiting for the subway, It’s not coming, so I decided to hoof it through the tunnel. Well, I don’t know if I lost track of time – or what, but the next think I knew, I slipped – and fell in the mud. Ruining the very pants I was about to return.

True story, I was at the lake and my son dropped a 500$ rod and reel setup off the boat. I dove in and got it but got my shirt covered in mud and moss. So when I got back to the marina I had my shirt off and went in to buy a shirt, but they wouldn't let me in without a shirt. So I made them bring me one outside to try on and then went in to pay for it...

It was the same with covid masks a couple years back. Needed to buy a mask but couldn't go in the store to buy one.

Bloody nightmare.

Nope. But you require an internet connection and money at the very least. And I guess a place of residence

Is wearing a fig leaf considered clothing? Because if someone walk into a clothing store that I was working at with a big pile of money and only covered by a fig leaf, I would totally sell them some clothing!

Had a friend get his shirt ripped off by some drunk lady. He went into the nearest store to buy a shirt and they told him he couldn’t be in there without a shirt. He said, “that’s why I’m here”

There was a scene like this in a Hardy Boys novel one time... they wind up with no clothes for some reason and they have to get Chet to pick them up (in his beat up old jalopy of course) and go into the store for clothes for them. He buys them matching outfits (fucking Chet...)

It's come back to me often since then, wondering whether I could give adequate info to have someone go into a shop and buy me a fit on spec and be happy with the results

I was out working and got my shorts snagged on a nail and it completely shredded the front. I was still wearing them but my boxers were completely exposed. I went to a good will just down the street and bought a new pair and nobody said anything. The cashier even gave me a discount because I really needed pants now.

Just like at the beginning of the pandemic. If you want to buy a mask, you have to go to a store. But before entering the store you have to put on a mask... Man, noone kept tons of masks at home before 5his pandemic started 🙄
