This is the story of another minor misadventure in men's fashion freedom.
I buy all my clothes and footwear locally, live and in person, and I always try everything on, right at the store. After some small initial apprehension, it doesn't bother me at all, any more.
There have been moments, however.
One time, I was at Target, selecting some jeans. I found the ones I liked, and took them to the fitting room, for a try on. There was a bit of a line, and the fitting room attendant was directing traffic.
When my turn came, I showed the attendant that I had one pair of jeans to try on. She looked at the jeans, and at me, before quite loudly and publicly announcing, "Those are women's jeans!"
Maybe she wanted to express her disapproval, or maybe she wanted to give the other shoppers a thrill. I don't know.
Feeling the attention of many eyes, I briefly turned red. But I stood my ground, and prceeded to use the fitting room.
Has something like that ever happened to anyone else?
