There have been so many new companies start up that are offering "personal stylist" clothes shopping... It's actually nice to have clothes delivered to build up your wardrobe. Saves the trips to the malls and other major department stores. Prices are about the same really, depending on where you shop. Personally, I like Stitch Fix. Reasonably priced and it's always my style. Wantables are a hit and miss, I usually end up sending about half the order back because it's not a good fit. They are priced a bit higher as well. I haven't tried the others yet.
Here are the links to a few of the most popular sites. If you have a favorite feel free to share your opinion in the comments. (Click the word 'comment' to open the box)

Online shopping has become more popular with a huge jump during the Covid season. Payment processing has become more secure with less chance of a hack into your banking information. Shipping is so much more convenient, and some have a faster turnaround than others. Returns are easy, a preaddressed label and shipping bag is usually included with the order.
You can find just about everything online from big box stores to small independent businesses. When the internet was just getting started {Who remembers dial up? } We used to have a gift shoppe that we worked at events and had a website. Native and Traditional crafts, with the beaded earrings and dreamcatchers being the most popular items. It was a family shoppe and the kids traveled with me to trade shows, pow wows and other community events for the weekends. They learned some amazing job skills and all of them have strong work ethics, loved by their employers.
Now I just offer personalized items with sublimation. Shipped anywhere in the US.

No website, just email for orders and PayPal for payments. Sometimes a few products will be featured on MarketPlace with Facebook. I do a fair amount of nature photography and create a few items.
I do a lot of my shopping online. For the home, cars, fur babies and the horse. Now we've added clothing to the list of many. It gives me more time to do other things and not have to drive around. I even buy the groceries online with SafeWay delivery. I've tried the other delivery services and was not impressed. One actually forgot half of the food I ordered, and it took days to get a refund. I prefer to order my meat through the butcher shop, always fresh and tender! That's a simple phone call and drive to pick it up.
Gifts are easier to find special and unique items, many things you can't find in the local stores.
We live in a busy ever-changing world. With gas prices going crazy, shipping can be less expensive, and some places offer free shipping, so you save even more.
What else do you buy online?
