You know when people will ask the question, “If you could only shop at one store for the rest of your life, where would that be”? I never know the answer to that.

Until yesterday, when I was window shopping on my way to run some errands, and I thought, without any prompt, “this is where I would shop if I could only pick one place”. And that place is the Simons men’s department.

I barely ever wear skirts and dresses, so not having a large access to those is not something that would affect me. And I found a kilt there once, so it is possible.

Anyway, it has the right mix of brands and price ranges, and every time I go, I add things to my Simons app wishlist.

And something that pisses me off is that when you have a unisex style like Adidas track pants, why do the men always get the better fabrics and colourways?

I saw a brown cord pair with orange stripes, and compared to the hot pink and deer print ones I saw in the ladies’ section, they are the clear winners. I love it there.

Even the men’s bag section is quality. I just wish that all of their shoes started in smaller sizes.

Next time someone asks me that question, I now have my answer. I just need money to shop there regularly.

In case you missed it, I posted a 1920s inspired winter wardrobe yesterday.
