TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BUYING CLOTHES ONLINE LIKE A PRO November 17, 2021 Category: Blog The internet provides the best place to shop for clothes. With just a few clicks, you can get your hands on that perfect dress or pair of shoes that you've been eyeing from across the store. The problem? You don't know what size to buy since it's hard enough to find your own size in real life! So we're giving you some tips and tricks so you can start shopping online like a pro:
•
Know your measurements, so when something doesn't fit exactly right, you'll be able to compare it with other items in your closet and figure out if it's worth returning
•
Try things on before buying them (if possible) by using sites like Polyvore or Pinterest to edit outfits together and see how they look on a model. You can use sites like Cladwell or Five Four Club to get suggestions of what to wear
•
Read reviews! If other people are complaining about how tight the arms are on the sweater you bought, well...you might want to reconsider buying it!
•
Figure out if sizing runs big or small. A lot of websites now display size charts (especially for underwear). Some will even provide you with measurements; this is super helpful because sizes aren't always universal
•
Shop during sales season. Websites like ASOS offer sales that will last anywhere between 10% and 30%, so if you're willing to wait around, prices will go down at some point
•
Know your return policy before you buy. Some online retailers will only give you a certain number of days (like ASOS) to return what you purchased, while some don't even provide that option. If your item is cheap enough, you might not care if it doesn't fit properly - but for pricier items, it can be risky.

Make sure your clothes are going to fit. Remember, fit is the most important thing when it comes to clothing. Here's a great guide on how to tell if something fits you properly !
