Tips For Buying Clothes Online
by Maas Roelvink
If you are busy during the day or hate trying clothing on in stores, there is a good chance that you buy most of your clothing online. This is tremendously helpful because it means that you have a wider choice of clothing and might even be able to get better prices. However, it is also easier for you to buy the wrong size or something that you don't like due to the fact that you are not actually seeing the clothing in person. Here are some tips for buying clothing online so that the process goes as smoothly as possible and to increase the chances that you are not going to have to make any returns.
1. Take Your Measurements Ahead of Time
Your first step is to actually bother to take your measurements ahead of time. This is going to require a tape measure and possibly a friend to help you take the measurements of difficult areas. You want to get your actual measurements due to the fact that sizing in stores is often inconsistent. Some stores will say that a certain waist is a size 2 and other stores will say that the same waist is a size 6. If you have your actual waist measurements, you will be able to convert these inconsistent sizes to a true size that is more likely to actually fit you. Look online for videos that show you how to take your measurements or go to a store and have a salesperson take your measurements for you.
2. Bother to Read the Reviews
Make sure that you actually bother to read the reviews of every garment that you buy. The reason for this is that you will be able to get a better sense of the garment from readers who actually wore it rather than a marketing executive writing a description of the product. Reviews will tell you if the piece of clothing ran small, large, or true-to-size, whether it washes easily, and if it can be tailored without issue. This can help you make sure that the garment is going to fit both you and your lifestyle.
3. Try to Find the Garment in Action
Try to find photos of bloggers wearing the garment that you are about to buy or even models on the catwalk wearing it. This will allow you to see how it looks on an actual person and could help change your decision.

About Me
After burning through several pairs of cheap earrings, I decided one day that it might be in my best interest to look into buying some better pieces. Instead of visiting little accessory shops, I started saving my money and frequenting high-end jewelry stores. I quickly realized that by investing more money into jewelry, the items would last significantly longer and look a lot better when I wore them. It was amazing to see how much better I looked with the better items. This blog is all about investing in better accessories so that you can take better pictures or enjoy a renewed sense of self.
