Is clothes shopping IRL better than shopping online? (lemmy.ml)

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?

The only things I would consider buying online.

Levi 505 jeans because they measure by the inches. Doesn't matter if you get in the store or online . An inch is an inch.

My socks. I always buy the same brand and the size doesn't change.

Same for underwear.

Other then that. Only in person. Every company measures differently. Some companies have multiple manufacturing plants who also measure differently.
