Getting the Most Out of Online Clothing Purchases

Shopping online is one of the greatest technological advancements of this age. You can find what you want from anywhere without waiting for stores to open. With all these conveniences, there are still some important considerations to make before and during your shopping. With these tips, you can make sure you get the best fit from clothes you'll love.

Check Your Measurements

Because clothing sizes can change from store to store, keep a record of your measurements so that you can find the best fit. Keep this information in a document somewhere that's easy to find (and password protected, if you want to keep it a secret), then update it at least yearly.

Find a Local Tailor

Even with accurate measurements, you won't always get the best fit the first time around. Instead of returning the item, you can find a local tailor to make minor adjustments. This works very well for people with non-standard body types. Pants are a big example of this, since body types vary in the size and relationship between leg and torso length.

Look for Pictures

Online shops often have a gallery where you can see their clothes actually being worn. For KONUS, you can check the Lookbook for both style ideas and to see the way certain shirts and pants hang on the human body. This gives you more information than just a single picture of a folded garment.

Look Closely at Reviews

Good reviews are important when shopping online, but it's just as important to read bad reviews. It could be that a bad review came from someone not taking the proper measurements, so they gave a company a low rating for their own mistake. When looking at online reviews, it is important to see how many low ratings there are and why.

Know Your Fabrics

Since shopping online means you can't touch the product before buying it, take some time to sample a few fabrics at other stores. Know the difference between cotton, silk and polyester, and know which you prefer.

Double-Check Your Shopping Cart

Since you don't have to physically carry everything you're interested in, it is easy to get overloaded on purchases. You can save yourself from buyer's remorse if you take just a few minutes to look over your shopping cart before buying. If you still purchase something from KONUS that you decide doesn't suit you, there's always returns and exchanges.

Look Over the Return Policy

Just in case something does not suit you or fit, it's always a good idea to look at a website's return policy before buying. Look for ones with simple steps and no hassle. Some websites, like KONUS, will offer a pre-paid return label so that you don't have to pay shipping on your item.

Shopping online can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience if you follow these seven tips. Planning ahead and looking closely at little details are a sure way to improve your shopping experience. KONUS has a large variety of streetwear clothing to choose from ranging across many styles, colors and prices.
