Summary: Online shopping for
T-shirts can be fun and interesting, with very little hassle. Think any
occasion, or order for yourself or someone else. Read on to see if it is right for you.
The first thing that comes to
mind when one considers online shopping is the sheer comfort. You can look at
several hundred options as you lounge and you don’t even have to decide fast.
Think of making a purchase online, and the immediate thoughts you have are how:
1. You
don’t have to get out of your pajamas and slippers, drive around in traffic,
and interact with the outside world
2. You
can check for the funkiest, most outrĂ© options through ‘search’ filters, and
you know nothing is off limits – if one retailer doesn’t have a scooped-neck
garment, another one will
3. You
shop on your phone, tablet or personal computer, and have your searches ‘saved
for later’. The savvier you are with online shopping, the more you get to
explore
4. It’s
all about convenience – you can look through online stores while you wait in
line at a doctor’s appointment, on a train ride or practically anywhere
5. You
can grab great deals. Buyers get all the advantages like loyalty points,
notifications about flash sales, coupons and juicy deals on shipping charges
6. E-commerce
sites have easy return policies that let you buy merchandise that you are truly
happy with (without the hassle of travelling all the way back to a store)
All the points above are true for
buying T-shirts online, but there are some specific advantages of getting
T-shirts online that make this a truly feasible and fun way of shopping.
Features to keep in mind
specifically when buying T-shirts online:
Use the style guide/size chart to
full advantage: the page will surely have a picture of a model wearing the
T-shirt, and if you look closely enough, the e-retailer will mention the size
worn by the model. This will help you visualize how it will look on you. A size
XS T-shirt will look very different from a size L.
Think categories: Since online
shopping is all about getting what you want no matter how obscure, be bold
about looking for Oversize stuff that you can sleep in, V-necks that make you
look chic and feminine, or experiment with fabric, cut and sleeve length.
Filter to your advantage: Add
oomph to your style factor by picking T-shirts with graphic prints, aphorisms,
positive/inspirational quotes, or something whacky. It is much, much easier to
find such off-beat T-shirts online than in-store. Use filter tools provided by
the e-commerce site to find a T-shirt in your price range, standalone pieces or
sets, and fit yourself up in style.
Any site worth its salt will
offer you a huge range of products in different price brackets to choose from.
The extra mile is when it lets you design your own T-shirt, or add a personal
touch to it. The option to customize it with your own design or message takes
personalization to a whole other level.
Spend enough time on the site,
get comfortable with the interface and explore all the options available. Maybe
make a trial purchase and test out the process. In the end, you might be so
hooked to shopping online for T-shirts that you will never walk into a store
again!
