Is clothes shopping IRL better than shopping online? (lemmy.ml)

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?

Shoes and clothe are the kind of stuff where you loose a lot by buying online.

In person you can see the fabric texture and colour. Not a photo where light, camera and then your screen altered everything.

Check how well it fits. For shoes you can easily get one size less/more depending on brand/cut and even for clothe you are not a standard person so passing them in the shop tells you a lot.

You can even ask a sales person opinion to get a feedback of course they want to sell but can help you more than a chatbot
