Shopping for clothes online can have many ups and downs. Here are a few tips to make your shopping go easier.
1. Take Your Measurements
There is nothing like getting an item you have been looking forward to only to find out it doesn’t fit you at all. To prevent this you must take measurements of your body size so that you can compare it to the items you want. Start with measuring your bust, waist, and hips, then write it down and keep close for reference when shopping. Some sites may have sizes has the general small, medium and large. However this can differ from which brand or which site you are on, so always check what the measurements are said to be.
The picture of the model can only tell so much about how big or small something actually is. Depending on your body size you may want to look for different things in an item size. If you have larger boobs you may want to check the size of the bust first to see if the shirt is a good size that will be comfortable. For example if your bust size for a shirt is good for you at 90cm you will not want a shirt that says the bust is 70-80cm.
2. Find Your Go-To Sites
There are thousands of online shopping retailers from forever 21 to amazon. It is important to test out a few sites to find places that sell clothing you like but also clothing that you know will fit or will be of good quality. Not every site is trustworthy and some sell cheap low quality clothing. To find out what sites are for you, you may want to research some site reviews and YouTube reviews from that site where you can see the clothing in video. Over time you will find the sites that you can trust to buy certain items such as a site that always has good quality shirts that fit you just right. another piece of advice is not to buy simple low costing items from online when you can buy it in person for cheaper. For example a simple plain white cami top can be bought mostly anywhere in person for a low-cost. So it would wiser to leave the simple items to in person purchases.
3. Return policies
Of course not everything works out. In the event that you need to return something it is important to know what the policies are ahead of time to avoid unexpected problems. Figure out how much time you have to return an item and if you have to pay for the shipping your self. Also know if a site will take back any item and any state or if there are certain requirements. Some sites have lengthy return polices that you don’t want to deal with, so if there is an item you would like and would return it if you need to get a different size read the policy. If you are buying from an international site returning items and getting another items may take months to work out.
4. Other Online Tips
If you want your items in a certain time frame know where the item is being shipped from and how long it will take. If an item is being shipped from oversees it can take up to a month and a half to reach you. Also if using a oversees sites it can be useful to pay for shipping that has insurance incase anything happens in its journey to you.
Overall when shopping online it is important to be well-informed about your sizes and the sellers you want to buy from. The more you knowledge you have will lead to happier purchases.
