Let’s talk about why most people would hate to shop online for clothes. I’ll break this article down into two sections to map out why most people hate shopping online and the 5 most effective ways to shop online.
One of the main reasons why people hate shopping online is that they don’t have a strategy and don’t know the value of knowing certain things that will ease the pain. I’ll be the first to say I love shopping online but it wasn’t the easiest for me being a 6-foot tall girl but, once I started to understand that there are key things I needed to do in order to shop online successfully.

You’ll also find the percent of the fabric they are using. So, if you’re a person who doesn’t like synthetic fabrics by reading the product details will help you decide if it’s for you or not.
You Like to touch and feel the Item
I get it, I love to touch and feel the material too but, when you understand the fabric percents by reading the labels will help you. Often times most brands will have details on exactly what an item is made of and most times then often it’s correct. so use the product details wisely.
You hate the return process
The return process can be frustrating but, to avoid returns you should definitely learn as much as you can when it comes to your measurements and body type. Knowing this will eliminate you having to return an item because it doesn’t fit.
You think it’s overwhelming
Yes, online shopping can be overwhelming but, once you start shopping with a plan and a strategy you won’t be overwhelmed anymore. When I say plan and strategy you have to know where you know where and how you’ll spend your money. If you keep shopping without a plan you’ll continue to waste money.
You have hesitation using your credit card online
