How to Select the Right Clothing Online?

There are so many online stores where you can purchase clothing. But there is a risk with purchasing clothing online because there can be changes in the size. And returning it to be exchanged can be a hassle. Sometimes the quality that you expect the clothing item to have will not be there when you finally receive the items. So you need to be cautious when purchasing items online.

There are many clothing wholesalers such as Orientique Fashions that provide clothing to online retailers. But you will have to do some research to get an idea about the quality of the items advertised. Finding the right size fit is the biggest challenge when it comes to shopping online so you need to make sure that you take your measurements accurately. Take measurements of your inseam, bust, hips and waist. It is best to use a soft tape measure. You also need to consider what you are wearing when taking the measurements as this can impact the findings.

It is best to measure with undergarments so that you have an idea of how the clothing will fit over them. But if you are purchasing outerwear such as a jacket, it is best to measure with your clothes on so that the clothing item will not become too snug once you try it on. 

All retailers will provide a size guide that will help you select the right size. If there is no size chart provided, you can always contact them to receive it. Some websites will allow you to input information about your measurements and will propose the size that relates to those measurements. You can check for retailers that provide a fit assistant feature so that you can compare sizes in different brands. Usually, there are models who are wearing the clothing in the advertised photo.

The clothing may not fit you the same way as it does on the model. We all have different bodies so clothing will sit slightly differently on different bodies. But you can get some idea of the fit by looking at the measurements of the model. The sites will usually say the size of the model and their height so you will be able to imagine how it will look on your body.

It is very important to read reviews when it comes to shopping anything online. This will give you an idea of how well the garment fits those who purchase it. Sometimes you may see a lot of reviews that say the garment runs a little small or big. This will help you to decide whether to order a size up or down.

Some sites will also have photos of customers wearing the clothing item which will give you a better idea of the fit. Make sure you check both positive and negative reviews. Because there can be hundreds of reviews, you can check the 5 star reviews and 1 star reviews first so you understand the breadth of customer experience for the item.
