One of my many reasons to be present where I am presently was to return or exchange a couple of workout clothes that I'd bought yesterday; clothes that I'd bought without trying after only seeing the size and noticing the fitting which I knew to be alright for me.
One doesn't always need to try on track pants before purchase and I was saddened on seeing how it was wee bit tight on me.
Tight on my thighs and though it was discouraging to know that I simply can't seem to fit into Chinese fittings I knew that this isn't a problem I could rectify because my body type is different and no matter how I try to convince me I almost always find better, in fact perfect fittings in men's section, both for track pants and t-shirts.
Men's t-shirts in size S fit me like a dream and let's face it women's t-shirts are never that good.
Right, so track pants.
I'd brought with me the items intended for return along with a sample old track pant from the same brand that I was interested in finding and that's when I was told that not only was that particular design discontinued but also that those perfect fitting tracks were men's and so the very understanding sales representative recommended a small size of men's track pants that fit me so well that I wasn't embarrassed in picking two pairs of different colours.
The thing about women's track pants in my size particularly ones sold in China irrespective of the brand is that they're tight on my lower body and when I try to get a larger size they're loose around the waist while still being tight on butt and thighs.
It puts me in a rather confused state and therefore I'm ambivalent while shopping for pants and yesterday that was exactly my mistake in that I didn't try it beforehand, something I almost never do..that is I always try out clothes before buying them unless they're t-shirts I'm sure of..but yes, such are the conundrums and I am glad to say I found some lovely fitting tracks and a pair of swimming shorts too.
But why track pants?
I have over half a dozen lowers and the thing about them is that they're the most comfortable thing to wear around house no matter the weather and honestly I always travel in them as well.
Imagine sitting in a flight for over five hours wearing denims. Ugh! It makes me uncomfortable to even think it and there can never be enough tracks or pajamas as they ultimately turn into because I wear them to death.
