The Internet is a particularly rewarding shopping destination for those whose tastes run to the quirky and/or unusual. Another big plus point of online shopping is the amount of money you can save on your purchases. Many online stores are much less expensive than their real world counterparts and you can get some lovely outfits for a fraction of the regular price.
Buying Clothes Online
Fit is the most important consideration when shopping online for clothing. (In Swedish Kläder) Remember, you won't be able to try on the outfits you are looking at so be extra careful when choosing your size. Never try and convince yourself that a smaller size will fit you ‘with just a little bit of work' just because you have fallen in love with a particular item.
Measure yourself carefully beforehand or better yet, ask a friend to do it for you. Pay particular attention to the measurement around the chest, waist and hips. These are the three main factors that need to be taken into consideration when calculating your clothing size. Before buying any clothes online research for a few websites and compare their prices.
Next, find out which type of sizing methods (US, UK, etc.) the retailer uses. Once you know that you can go online and find out the corresponding sizing chart.
Whenever possible try and buy from online sellers who give detailed measurements and descriptions of each outfit since this makes it so much easier to find the correct fit.
Buying Shoes Online
Online shoe buying is a bit trickier than buying clothing since the fit becomes all important when footwear is concerned. The wrong fit can leave you prone to twisted and/or sprained ankles, leg pain, back problems or worse; not to mention being extremely uncomfortable in the long run.
However, there is no denying that you can get some fantastic bargains online and footwear is no different. Just be sure to keep some key considerations in mind while shopping. First of all, be extremely careful in reading the shoe description. Never buy from online stores that give a less than detailed description since you might end up getting something totally different from what you wanted.
Never go by size alone since shoes (In Swedish skor) sizing often varies between brands. Rather go to the company's website and check out their sizing chart. Finally, try and see if you can try on a similar pair of shoes at a local store before making a final decision.
