Online clothing shops

[autopilot]

I'd be surprised if online stores wouldn't let you return stuff if you try it and it doesn't fit properly/at all.

If they want to stay in business they have too. When i was a kid my mum and her friends used to buy stuff from Kays, littlewoods and loads of other catalogues and return stuff all the time. They still do in fact. It's just the way it works, it's part of thier business model and no one would buy from them if they did not offer this service. Unfortunately Kay's etc catalogues are way over priced, online stores tend to be a bit cheeper (usually cheeper than highstreet)

The thing is, you if you are not sure what size you need you order the same item in a few sizes and send the one's you don't want/does not fit. Kay's, Littlewoods etc recommend you do this as saves on thier postage cost rather than sending stuff back and forth untill you get the right fit. I remember mum mother once ordering like 50 odd things, only keeping about 2 i think.

The thing about buying cloths, for me anyway, is that i often don't really know if i like something until i get it home. Often i buy something, only to get home a think "what on earth was i on?". Also, its an hour to any major city so online shoppping would be much less hastle and i would have loads more to choose from.

So, any recommendations then?

Iv'e bought clothes from America before now online and the companies iv'e dealt with let you return them if necessary, i can't see why you can't return things in the UK

Depends what sort of clothes your after tbh, i only shop online nowadays mainly at www.yoox.co.uk < biggest european distributor of big name to never heard of named clothes. if your after high end designer then theres www.brownbagclothing.co.uk .

www.yoox.co.uk imho is very reasonable and it ahs a very good service and delivery times are great imho.

www.lxdirect.com? used to be really good as you could use codes to save money on stuff. U can't do this anymore but they sell all the highstreet stuff, and you can sometimes get mulitipacks that can be good value, very good delivery normally as well, plus u can send stuff back for seemingly any reason u like

www.sport-e.com same company has more choice of your nike, addidas stuff etc

Have a look at www.mandmsports.com too. They have some decent stuff for cheap prices. The stock changes very rapidly though, so you need to keep an eye out.

most online clothes places i've shopped at have catalogues anyway, lxdirect as zulander says, & La Redoute for example are quite good.. i like their stuff, good range of prices & have a lot sales & offers. (though they are 5+ days for delivery not next day like lx. )
i'm like you autopilot no good ever comes of me trying to make my mind up in shops then & there, i'd rather have a coupla weeks to think about it at home.

Saying that though... I'll need a new coat for the winter and I really can't be bothered going into town for it.

thinking ahead..?
