Am I the only one who struggles with online shopping? Like with measurements for example, I don't know what there talking about or if the clothes will be the right size. How does everyone else get around this?

Pants and shoes I try and buy in-store.

I've got my go-to brands for shirts and underwear that I know fit well, so I usually just buy a shitload when my old ones are worn out.

Outerwear is 50/50%.

Most online retailers will let you try and return goods. In the EU you can return anything bought online within 2 weeks, no questions asked (by law).

A lot of fast fashion stores might just burn returns, others might sell them at an outlet. And it cuts into they already thin margins. I try to avoid returns.
