Do you prefer shopping for clothes online or in an actual shop? What are the trade-offs?

A natural way to answer

I see the appeal of both. Online shopping is convenient and offers more choice, but you can't try things on, so returns are a hassle. In-store shopping takes more time, yet you know exactly what you're getting, which I value.

Key phrases to use

• stuck with — left having something you don't want and can't easily get rid of“I'm stuck with a coat that doesn't fit.”
• hit and miss — sometimes good and sometimes bad; unreliable in quality“The food there is a bit hit and miss.”
• take my chances — to accept the risk and do something even though it might not work out“There's no guarantee, but I'll take my chances.”
