Notes -
I really want to buy clothes and accessories online, there are usually some great deals, but for the life of me I can't. I've been burned one too many times when something looks great in pictures .... and vice versa. I also get overwhelmed by the number of options.
However, ecommerce clearly is the way. You save so much time for obvious reasons. But I also hate returning shit and going through the 1 hour amazon scroll session again. On net, I think the time/bandwidth I spend on either balances out.
I suppose I'm not good enough at shape rotating to make a good enough guess.
Also fuck these slenderman ass bigfoot models they use for the pictures. I'm a "average" sized guy. ~5"10, 32" waist, 32" legs, etc, And YET, I buy pants with those exact same dimensions and they are literally too skinny to barely fit my arms? I'm not even fat or huge. I mean mannequins are usually of gigachad proportions, and the models are sticks? Where is the sweet middle?
What brands are you buying? If you're buying random chinesium on Amazon you shouldn't be surprised if it's all fucked up.
When I need new clothes I usually check LL Bean, Banana Republic, or Uniqlo (t. millennial). YMMV, but it's usually a good starting point, and they at least tend to have more colors than black, beige, gray, greige, navy, and white.
Also, especially for tops, put some consideration into what colors actually look good for your skin and hair color.
