The Internet is a great shopping destination especially for those who consider shopping a chore. The net offers unbeatable range, flexibility and ease of use when compared to brick and mortar retailing outfits and nowhere is this more obvious than when shopping for clothes.
Dresses (In Swedish Klänningar), tunics, tees, jeans, day wear, night wear, party wear…every type and style of clothing under the sun is available online. Many small boutique owners and up and coming designers showcase their creations online in an effort to boost sales and you can find the cutest and most original dresses with just a little bit of effort.
Finally, I love the fact that these shops deliver stuff right to your doorstep. No more lugging multiple, unwieldy shopping bags onto public transport and spend hours trying to find a parking spot; I can get every I want sitting comfortably in my room.
Internet Clothes Shopping Tips for Newbies
There are some things you need to keep in mind when shopping for outfits online. The first and most important consideration is of course the fit. Before you start shopping, ask a friend to help you measure yourself thoroughly and carefully. Do this every time you shop or at least every three months or so.
Next, calculate your size based on the measurements (there are websites that can help you with that). Remember, when you’re shopping online you may be dealing with different types of sizing methods (US, UK etc.). so you need to be extra careful to check which method each online store is using. Before you give an order of clothes (in Swedish Kläder) online search for a few websites and compare their rates.
Most of the better online outlets give detailed measurements in addition to the size and whenever possible try and buy from one of these places; it makes the chances of getting the wrong size much lesser.
This brings us to the second consideration namely what is the store policy for when something goes wrong? Do they accept returns? If so what is their refund policy? Do they have a good customer service line?
Be sure to inquiry about shipping charges. While many online outlets offer free shipping (at least within the same state) not everyone does this so you may end up paying through your nose.
Finally, be very careful about how much of your personal data you reveal online and where. Whenever possible, look for independent user reviews on a site is before you start to shop.
