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?

I do better shopping online. I am tallish and there's not much available locally, so much more available online.

Generally you can write to customer service for actual measurements, I have to do that sometimes. Reading reviews can help too, especially when people say their measurements and what size they got.

My kids (as I did when I was their age) do love shopping at the thrift store, trying things on.

It's really weird how the size label on clothes has no real meaning.
