Clothes shopping online vs physical stores - Bacardi Cola Lime - May 29, 2020

I've been buying my clothes online for years now, as I find it easier as a process overall. You avoid "wasting" time to go to the store and find what you like. You can get it delivered to your door. Online offers are something to look out for as well.

On the other hand, when you visit a physical store to shop for clothes, you can take a look on everything and try it out, so you avoid getting something in the wrong size. You'll also know if you like what you are getting because you see it live.

Which one do you prefer?

As long as you know your size, it’s fine to do online shopping. Very rarely do I ever need to return it.

I think everyone buys online nowadays regardless if it's clothes or not

I enjoy the experience of going to the mall and buying clothes, but I often buy stuff like shoes online. Sometimes I just feel too lazy to go to the mall, though.

I always prefer doing offline shopping, can't just buy anything without knowing what is the actual feel of the material like!
I have done some online shopping but only for shoes or jeans!

ive been to macys before i tried on the size then i ordered it couple weeks later when i remembered.

I know my sizing so I don’t really worry about that regard.

I prefer seeing everything laid out on a page than flicking through a rack. And almost all clothes I buy I need to ship into the country.

There are some things I am very hesitant to buy without first trying on though. I.e suits.

If you find brands / sites you like material wise and ship time online shopping is cool cause so many options

Online as i do it for years now too. I just think its better overall, sure you can take a look at it in a physical store but i just like that its not crowded when i purchase something online.

Online, every time i goto the shops to buy clothes i can't decide on what i actually want and waste my time. Online i can look up a style i like or brand and order and then have it delivered to my door in a day.


RE: Clothes shopping online vs physical stores - Nyx - May 29, 2020

I love going in person.
However I am not against ordering this online if I cannot find what I am looking for in stores. I guess with covid and everything it has been harder to actually go shopping, especially since I am from NY and all retail is considered unessential is closed. I cannot wait for Madison and 5th ave to reopen.

I only shop online from store I have shopped before. I don’t trust new online stores since sizing is so different from every brand. So if I can I’ll go to the store physically.

I like both. If it's the weekend prelockdown I would go into the city centre and shop if I feel like it or I would just order them. The things I buy 95% of the time fits.


RE: Clothes shopping online vs physical stores - Exalted - May 30, 2020

I can do both, but I prefer shopping in physical stores. Generally, it is faster, and I like spending some time out of the house.

The way clothes fit and actual sizes may vary between different brands. On clothes like pants and shirts I want to make sure that they fit me just fine!
