Do you prefer buying clothes in the store or online?

I'm 6'5. I can't afford not to try on clothes in case they don't fit correctly

>> No.11735378

online

pros:
-quick delivery
-no need to go to store
-return policy is better
-guarenteed to have your size

also, workers pressure the shit out of you

>> No.11735380

If I'm shopping somewhere for the first time I like to do it in the store. But once I figure how how their clothes fit me and know what to get I don't mind getting them online.

>> No.11735384

>>11735375
Store, because you can try shit on and know for sure if it fits and looks well.
With online stores its not always obvious.
Too bad my shitcountry doesn't have any good stores.

This is the only thing that makes me kinda like shopping online more. I can just casually browse online, but if I'm trying to just browse at a store there's like 5 different people coming up to you asking, "Are you looking for something particular? Can I help? Just come ask me if you need anything." And they just fucking eyeball the shit out of you.

How do you find good stores in your area?

I've gone to malls and shit and they're all mall-core (obviosuly). Maybe my city doesn't have good stores.

Retail worker here, this isn't our fault. All it takes is for one asshole to whine about not getting greeted, and your boss starts breathing down your neck about talking to every customer

in a non-fashion rich place, look for "high"-fashion department(?) stores like nordstrom, bloomingdales and neiman marcus; at the very least they'll have some givenchy and helmut lang

If its a brand I frequently buy from then ill buy it online because i know how their clothes fit. But, if I dot know the brand ill go in store.

It's depend of the store I want to buy clothes from

For example if it's APC I prefer to buy it online because in the stores (Paris) there is nobody except the vendors who press you

But if it's a shop like Uniqlo or H&M idc

>> No.11736297

only online cuz i am an autistic shit

>> No.11736329

I've never shopped online before. I like the experience of shopping in the store.

Some of you talk about trying it on before you buy, but feeling the fabric and examining the construction of a piece is also important.

Also, talking to salespeople is a much better way to learn about a brand than reading worthless opinions on /fa/. They appreciate the commission and when you get to know them they'll be more than happy to hit you with the 10% discount every now and then.

>> No.11736333

store because I can try shit on, there are pretty many good ones where I live and I don't mind talking to workers since they're nice & helpful.

good job shopping at h&m.

i.e prada store has the best customer service ive ever experienced in any store. spelndid customer treatment and knowledge about clothing and its construction

>> No.11736493

>>11736339
At h&m there is so much people that no vendor cares about you

But in stores as Acne, APC etc.. it's totally different because there is nobody but you and the vendors

Depends. If I'm buying/rebuying simple shit like tees and shoes then online. Otherwise it's off to the store.
