    Wondering if anyone buys clothes online? If so, which websites do you go to that aren't, like, sketchy or seem like their part of some scam lol. Maybe a website that has cheap clothes?

    I don't, because I need to be able to try on clothes on account of my potato-like physique.
    Not many clothes fit me.

    Yep, because I tend to like odd, retro things I can't find in stores very easily. I just got a pair of 80s-era parachute pants I really love from parachute-pants.com, and some old-school sneakers from Puma, and some stuff from Etsy. But I think I tend to pay too much at points, because I get nostalgic, and decide I MUST have this or that item. It's funny, I don't even have that many clothes, but am very fussy about the few things I wear :slight_smile:

    I don't really buy clothes online because I like to look at them and see if they fit me. :slight_smile: I will occasionally buy a cool t-shirt design online though!

    Yes. They're satisfactory 3/4 of the time. The other times, it's not so much about fit as it is about the clothes looking slightly different, or feeling slightly different, than I would have expected based on the ads on-line.

    Nope. I rarely buy clothes and when I do I want to make sure they will fit me :slight_smile:

    I buy my t-shirts mainly from We Love Fine and I typically buy my jeans from thrift stores.

    I do this sometimes! It depends on what it is and if I really can't find it anywhere; sometimes it's hard to tell how well something will fit, even with measuring charts. I usually check for reviews first just to see if there are people who suggest going one size down/up from your normal measurements for a better fit. Other than that I mostly frequent to thrift stores.

    I normally buy my clothes online... just because I dislike shopping that much. I use asos regularly

    Almost never. I much prefer to try something on. My normal size for shirts, for example, is men's small, but I've had smalls that go down to my knees. I'd rather try them on in person (or at least hold it up to myself) and plus, I actually do enjoy shopping for clothes.

    Never have, never will. The local mall is diverse enough to fulfill my fashion needs. Besides, I'm VERY picky, so even liking something, if I don't look fabulous in it, I won't buy it.

    I never usually buy clothes at all, but when I do buy clothes online, it's only t-shirts, shirts, jumpers, etc. Never jeans or pants or anything.

    Never anything I can't return in case it doesn't fit correctly, but even then I really only ever buy shoes online?

    I'll buy t-shirts online since 99% of the time a size L will fit me. And I will buy shoes online but only to replace ones I know fit me.

    Same here, usually it's replacing a worn-out item when it's 50% off, and that I know the local stores may not have stock in my particular size esp. during a sale. Less hassle to get online.

    I buy from Amazon, eBay, and I recently started ordering from Etsy. There are some wonderful, unique items on Etsy, but of course they can be pricey.

    I actually like to shop for clothes. I'm always in a thrift store, Kohl's, or Bealls. My favorite label is Calvin Klein, but I'm a poor college student—hence the thrift and discount stores. :icon_wink

    I get my clothes online, and in the stores. Since I'm in stealth mode, I can only buy the boy stuff. :frowning2:
