Shop clothes online
What are the best places you have found to shop for clothes online? I don't really know which sites to trust. I mean, do you only buy from places that you have near you so you can go in if your order is messed up, or can you buy from stores that aren't in your area and still do ok?

You should check out Nordstrom because their styles of clothing is always up to date and there's free shipping. If you don't like the clothes you ordered from online, just ship it back, FOR FREE! Or you can go to their retail store department too. A lot of people like shopping on the site because of its convenience.
Also check out ASOS. They have tons of clothing to choose from and shopping on that site can be endless because of their great amount of unique, stylish clothing selections.

Oftrn it is easier to buy from stores that have a location near you, but if that's not possible, it's not a big deal. It just takes them a bit to process the return sometimes.
I don't recommend buying from places like Forever 21 or Love culture online. Often the sizing is totally weird or inconsistent and things will look totally different in person. I've had the best luck with Banana Republic (they do 40% off sales pretty often) and American Eagle (they also do the 40% sometimes if you sign up for text alerts and have a really good clearance section), as wellnas American Giant and Sevenly.org. I recommend buying in larger quantities rather than individual items, because many sites do free shipping if you spend over 50 bucks.

When buying clothes online I usually stick to the same stores that I have at nearby malls. This way if there is a problem I can take them back to the local store for exchange or refund. I try to stay away from truly catalog stores with the exception of Lands’ End which is owned by Sears at the moment and exchanges can be done at Sears.
I do my shopping this way for two reasons. First I do most of this type shopping around the holidays and take advantage of the free shipping offers. Second I am disabled and walking around the Malls is a painful hardship for me and I refuse to use a wheel chair since I am able to walk but not for long or great distances.
For shoes I have found Zappos to offer great shoes by all the great shoe makers. Delivery in some cases has been overnight even though I have paid for standard delivery. This is because they have a fulfillment center in Memphis right next to the UPS logistical center. I've placed an order as late as 8 pm EST and had the shoes the next afternoon.

You don't really mention your age, size or clothing style, so it's really tough to make specific recommendations!
When shopping online, I usually try to stick to stores that are located within my country. Otherwise, duty fees can really add up, and you can be charged sales tax upon delivery.
If I do venture out of country, and in general, I stick to stores that have a good reputation, like Land's End or Asos. You want to make sure that there's a good returns policy in case things don't fit or aren't flattering, too.
The key is to make sure to follow the size charts given by the site. Take your measurements, because you can't go by just the size number and there's no trying different sizes on.
It can be handy ordering from stores nearby so that if something doesn't fit you can go in to the store to return it. If you need to return elsewhere, there's often a fee.
