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.

Mainly Next, with a but of M&S, Tesco and Asda. They (and M&S) have a much larger stock online, so I tend to order online but ock and collect in store, so I can order a few in different sizes, try them on for the best fit and return what doesn’t work. That way you get the larger range of options but the convenience of trying them on in-store.
That’s a good idea. The Preston M&S store is really weird, there’s a lot of space in the actual store that’s unutilised, they could add way more clothes.
I used to use a site where you could buy from multiple shops in one go but it actually got bought out by M&S and closed down, haven’t really found a “go to” place since.
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.
