Is clothes shopping IRL better than shopping online?

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 generally buy almost everything online, but clothes are one exception to that”

I’ve been thinking. Should I open a clothes store? That’s the one thing that isn’t threatened by the internet. It’s not like other things you don’t know how something will fit you through a computer screen.

Clothes shops aren’t threatened by the Internet but boutique shops are outcompeted by chain retailers. So if you really want a safe business, go for a franchise or whatever you call it where you manage the Reknown Brand shop but don’t own the brand.
