Online Shopping for Men | Tips & Tricks

By Sanchita

The sharp growth of technology easily enables us to shop at the leisure of our homes and the comfort and convenience we experience in online shopping is beyond what is fathomed. Coupled with the discounts we receive and the amazing logistic services that deliver to our doorstep makes the experience worthwhile. However, a lot of us are still uncomfortable with the pitfalls of shopping online for clothes and therefore are not willing to take a chance. We have listed various ways to make online shopping for men easier for you and thus you can try as many styles as you want.

• SIZE – Size and fit are generally the two most important issues in online shopping. A lot of shopping websites for men provide measurement charts that should be followed. For example, you may be size XL in a brand while size L in another brand. Thus, before adding any product to your cart, go through the chart of the respective brand to avoid any error. You should not always trust model shots or look books available on the website. Treat them as guides to styling rather than fit.

• FABRIC – We are often so blinded by the colour or design and sometimes the discounted price tag that we almost forget to check the fabric. Fabric is also important for your style and comfort. Certain materials shrink and certain loosen post wash. In online shopping for men, they often overlook the fabric.

• SHOP WHAT YOU EXACTLY WANT – Although men will not put that much effort compared to women when it comes to their shopping list, but the list always helps keep in mind what you require. You have to know what you are looking for and therefore make sure you mentally make a list. There are plenty of options for a man out there to shop, and therefore it’s easy to get distracted by the options and availability of the various products.

• STICK TO THE LIST – It is extremely important to stick to the list. We are often swayed by discounts and therefore end up buying what we don’t need. A list of things that you do not require in your wardrobe will help to make the shopping experience better.

• STICK TO YOUR FAVOURITE BRAND – If you are comfortable with a particular brand, always stick to that. This will help you choose the clothes better as you are well aware of the quality of the product. This also helps you to identify the size without any issues.

• RETURN POLICY – This is perhaps one of the most important aspects of online shopping of clothes. Do not throw away the tags and always check the return policy and number of days within which you have to return. If the return policy isn’t clear to you, call up the customer care service and verify the necessary details.

• COMPARING PRICE – There are innumerable online stores for you to check and compare the prices. Always keep a watch for a good deal. Sometimes when you shop for the first time from a website, they provide you with discount coupons so if the same apparel is available elsewhere where you can get a discount, try reaching out for that.

• REVIEWS – Reviews are extremely important. Always check the reviews on the shopping website or on the particular product so that you can have a proper idea of the products you are about to purchase.

Tips for Buying Shoes Online For That Perfect Fit

By Sanchita

These days we have the pleasure of online shopping, be it clothes, makeup or anything essential can be easily delivered to your doorstep within few days. Shoes are also one of the most important parts of your outfit and thus women also look for shoes online. Online shopping in India for shoes will save you the hassle and time. However, a lot of people hesitate to buy shoes online. This is because shoe shopping feels like a ‘touch and try kind of an experience’. If the shoes are not comfortable, you can’t wear them on any occasion and the whole purpose of buying those shoes you loved is down the drain. However, here are some quick tips and tricks to follow to buy shoes for women in India.

• The perfect size – Sizing in shoe shopping matters a lot and especially while purchasing shoes online. Every website provides you with a chart and one should try to follow that. But before you move forward, I want to tell you that the size varies from brand to brand. For e.g. If you are size 34 in one brand, you may be size 35 in another. Also, it varies from design to design. To have the perfect fit, take a blank sheet of paper, pencil and ruler measure the feet
wearing a sock. Place the foot down on the sheet and get the perfect shape by outlining with the pencil and then measure accordingly with the rule. Keep this sheet with you every time you are shopping for shoes. This is very helpful in purchasing shoes online.

• Shopping Website – Always choose a website you feel is trustworthy and reliable. There are various websites online for shoes but most of them do not deliver what they promise. Look for the reviews and decide accordingly. Also, if your favourite shoe brand has its own website, then definitely go for that. This guarantees the perfect fit because you have already tried the shoes, own them and know your size.

• Look for the return policy – Every shopping website for clothes and shoes should have a proper return policy because size matters in these cases. If the shoes do not have the perfect fit, they are useless. Therefore, before purchasing shoes online, always check the return policy of the website, the terms and conditions attached and the number of days within which you have to return.

• Shoe material – We are often disillusioned by the amazing look of a pair of shoes and we forget to check the material. Not every pretty shoe is going to have the most amazing and comfortable material. Sometimes, a particular material irritates the skin or causes extreme shoe bites which makes it very uncomfortable to wear. Therefore, always check the material before purchasing online. If it is not listed, you can call up the customer service to ensure
the same.

• Images – The more the images enlisted on the website, the better it is. While shopping online, choose a website where different images of the particular shoe are presented with various perspectives so that you can choose easily. It also helps you to evaluate the material and fit better.

• Reviews – Reviews and ratings are extremely important. If you have any doubts regarding a product, then try reading extensive reviews and ratings. This enables you to judge the product or in fact check the credibility of the online brand. This is also very helpful if you are purchasing shoes online for the first time from a specific brand. People often mention if it runs larger, smaller or are true to size.

• Try it on – It is advisable to try the shoe right away when you receive the order. While trying, wear socks so that the fit can be checked perfectly. Even when you are shopping at stores physically, try wearing socks for shoe trial for comfort and fit.

• Indoor trial – While you are trying the shoes purchased online, try walking indoors to avoid any damage. Although most websites provide a return policy, it comes with a clause that the shoes must not be damaged, soiled or the tags torn. Therefore, do not pull up the sticker or
tear apart the tags and always try indoors.

So these are some tips for shopping shoes for women online in India without any hassle. Next time you see an amazing deal or a chic pair of shoes, follow these tips to purchase without any hesitation.
