After three months of being in isolation, you're bound to need clothes. You will need clothes for your kids, as well as clothes for your spouse. However, there's one problem is that it's not so simple to go out and shop and test things out in the store. Most of us are relegated to shopping online. How can we be successful online shoppers when we do not have the opportunity to shop in stores?

These 6 tips will ensure that you won't be disappointed when buying online, especially because many online retailers have a no-return policy.

1. Make sure you measure yourself
If you're in the store, you may be able to guess the size you'll wear in a particular garment based on what size you are wearing in other clothing. If you're shopping online, you'll need to pick a size based upon your measurements to guarantee the most perfect fit. For the majority of clothing styles it is necessary to be aware of the following measurements:

Measure your chest. It is the measurement taken at the top of your chest. This measurement is best done in the bra you'll be wearing with the garment. Going here: https://lifestylebyps.com/blogs/the-design-blog/second-hand-fashion... for further information.

Your waist measurement is where you're going to find the narrowest point of your waist. It's not always the place you think it should be, i.e. It's not always where you wear your pants.

The measurement of your hips - you're going to go over the fullest part of your butt and hips.

Inseam - For women's clothing, there are three sizes available: standard tall, petite, and standard. So you know where your pants will fit, measure from the uppermost part of your inner thigh to the point where your cuff is supposed to rest. You might find the measurement to be different if your shoes are high-heeled.

2. Compare Measurements with Size Charts and Reviews
Review the size charts. Recheck them. If you're on a site with multiple brands, you'll need to check the size chart of the site of the designer, not on the shop website. Two other useful tools are also available on many websites: They will provide you with the height and size of the model and offer feedback. You can use the reviews to figure out if a garment will fit you, or is too small or large. It's also great to look through photos of people wearing the clothing in question.

3. Be aware of the fabrics
It's hard to tell how a piece of clothing will feel like when you're trying to figure out shopping. You will want pants that are comfortable and fitted. If you're unsure of what kind of fabric to choose, check at your closet. Don't wear something you don't like as it's strange. Write down the fabric type from the tag, give the item and do not order anything else made of that fabric.

4. You can place your order based upon the biggest measurements
Clothes do not consider it a problem if your waist size is medium, but your hips are extra-large. There is however a caveat - if something fits and flares - make your purchase based on where it's supposed to "fit" as opposed to where it's supposed flare. This can be seen by looking at the way models are positioned. A tight fitting dress will indicate that a medium-sized won't work. If you purchase it and it's a good fit around the hips, then you can always get the waist cut if needed.

5. Know Your Shop's Return Policies
This information is crucial. However, if you've ever been to an online store, or even in person, be sure to check the current return policies. Many retailers have revised their return policies in the wake of COVID-19. It is possible to mark the applicable deadlines on your calendars to ensure that you have enough time to return the item or to inform buyers that you're sorry. Returns are accepted.

6. Learn about your retailer
Many boutiques use Facebook groups to market their clothing. You'll get excellent customer service within these groups since the owners are knowledgeable about the items well and can help with sizing questions. Be sure to be mindful: If a group owner has taken the time helping you find the perfect outfit, buy it from them and not from their counterpart, even if it means you can save a few bucks by doing so.
