  • Quasi-gay topic: Online clothes shopping. Any suggestions?

I've heard good things about Express's online store.

I hate clothes shopping, i like to be in and out as fast as possible (similar to other activities), but i also need to try things on. Sometimes, it looks great yet fits like shit. I've gotten relatively picky lately, even though i (repeat) do hate clothes shopping.

I tend to check the gap, JCrew, and Old Navy stores for sales and discounts. I also found eBay to be a great place to find clothes. I've bought a few pairs of pants/jeans from there. I just always buy new without tags. I like to look for Abercrombie jeans on eBay.

Walking into an Abercrombie or a Hollister even moreso makes me feel incredibly old. haha And I'm only 26.

I actually don't mind shopping for clothes for myself in certain stores like Gap or Old Navy. I feel gay shopping in Express for Men and I feel old in A&F. :)

I just really like A&F jeans. I've found they last a really long time for how often I wear jeans and I like the styles.

Could an admin please remove the "quasi" part of the subject? This is a place where we slam opinions not spew out lies :-)

Zeus, I wanted to use "super extremely", but that would have caused the subject line to exceed it's limit. :)

Well, to continue my quest into Homoville, I did got some stuff from Gap and Old Navy's online stores....and was pretty pleased with the experience.

I think the key is this - you have to know how clothes from a particular designer fit you before ordering online. Sometimes a Large is a Large. Sometimes it's really a Medium. Sometimes it's a XXXL. Each designer sizes things just a bit differently.

That said, the time savings are incredible and these days, time is my most valuable resource. You can quickly see if they have something might like, punch in a few numbers, and there you go. No worrying about having stuff in your size, parking, line waiting, etc...

I may look into Calvin Klein, Express, and Kenneth Cole too.

The nice thing about stores like Gap, Express, Old Navy, etc is that you can usually return anything your order online for free in store. So if you ever get a free shipping deal, there is no lost money if you decide you don't like what you buy.

The time savings is very nice and you don't have to deal with all the crazy people at the mall. haha

Didn't realize that with the return policy. Thanks for the heads up.

Been way more into fashion over the last several years. I hate myself and enjoy at the same time. Good clothing makes a huge difference...in everything.
