It’s great that cloth is more popular than ever these days, but shopping for them online can be daunting. Here are some tips to keep you on the right track:
Find out about return policies. Since you can’t try clothes on before buying them, it’s hard to judge if they’ll fit. Even if there’s not an explicit policy anywhere on the site, call or email and ask – so you’re covered in case something doesn’t work out or isn’t what you thought it was.

Check the size chart
Look up size charts. Every company measures its sizes differently! If nothing else, look at customer photos of people wearing your target size to see how things fit IRL vs. how the company expects them to fit. Check for standard sizing. Know your measurements, and know which sizes are typically associated with them! If you’re not sure how clothes should fit, look up some information about body positivity or try doing an image search for “plus-size street style.”
Consider where the clothes are being made and under what conditions. Sometimes a price difference of a few cents per garment might mean that you’re supporting worker exploitation, child labor, environmental pollution, or other undesirable things. It doesn’t have to be an either/or choice – some companies produce apparel in fair working conditions and work towards sustainability – but it’s worth knowing about when deciding between different brands.
Check reviews
Read reviews from customers. Reviews will give you a better idea of whether something is likely to work for you, and sometimes people will mention that they have a certain condition or situation. Wishlists can be helpful if you want to keep track of items from different places so you don’t forget about them – remember not to buy things impulsively!
Ask questions if there’s something unclear on the site. If you’re confused by photos or descriptions, send a quick email asking for clarification before placing an order. That way, everything can go smoothly when it arrives at your door 🙂
Remember that most problems aren’t the company’s fault. Sometimes packages get lost in transit, but not all companies offer insurance for packages; if you want protection against loss or damage, make sure to pay for it when ordering. If there’s ever anything wrong with your order, contact the company first – they’ll usually try to fix the problem!
If possible, buy in person. You can usually find cloth at local consignment/thrift stores and online shops that carry secondhand clothes. It may be more expensive than buying new directly from a manufacturer. Still, it will mean less waste and not supporting companies who use sweatshop labor or exploit other negative practices.
Finally, have fun! Cloth is convenient in some ways but takes some getting used to, so give yourself time to adjust before you get overwhelmed by all of the options out there! These are some tips that can help you with shopping for clothes online.
