Clothes are some of the most difficult things to shop for on most of our Christmas lists. Getting the right size and trying to pin down everyone's current fashion preferences seems like enough of a hassle to keep us out of the online clothes racks and make us focus our efforts on finding a few last-minute table settings for Thanksgiving instead. If you're stressed about finding clothes online that will fit your family and friends perfectly, check out our quick guide to buying clothes as holiday gifts so you can start crossing names off your Christmas list right now.
Reading Size Charts
Size charts make shopping for clothes online super convenient, but only if you know the size of the person you're shopping for. It's not like you can just ask someone their measurements out of the blue. You'll have to be a little sneaky and find a way to raid their closet, spark a friendly conversation about clothes to see what they'll reveal or ask around for the specifics you need. Having to estimate someone's size isn't the end of the world. In fact, better size charts provide details on chest, waist and hip measurements for each size offered, and include images to help guide you if you're having trouble narrowing things down. It's better to get an item that's a size too big rather than too small. If they really love the gift and it doesn't fit you can offer to pay to get it tailored.
The Reviews Are In
It's pretty common knowledge nowadays that online reviews aren't the definitive way to prove if a product is good or not. Pay attention to how many people have reviewed a product. If there are a larger amount of reviews, you'll get a better sense of the product's quality. If there aren't that many reviews, don't let that stop you from getting something you like. Some items without reviews could be entirely new to a site, and the number of people purchasing items is less than the number of people writing reviews. You can also use reviews for details on sizing for certain products. Many reviewers will explain how clothes fit; if something was too big or too small.
Sites You Can Trust
When shopping for clothes, most consumers trust sites they've purchased from before, and for good reason. Knowing that a specific site has delivered clothes that fit and being familiar with a size chart available from that site can help you feel better purchasing clothes as gifts for others. Of course, you'll have to try a site for the first time to find out if it's worth exploring further, but you can always look for the signs that the site you're on is a good site to shop for clothes. Look for size charts on clothing, image variety for products, and plenty of customer reviews to find a few details on how the products sized up for previous customers.
Trips To Your Tailor
If you do happen to get a gift that's a little too big, you don't have to panic. Getting clothes that are too small means you'll most likely have to return them, but getting clothes that are a bit too big means you have the option of tweaking them slightly at a local tailor. Having a tailor you trust makes a huge difference when it comes to building your wardrobe, and it comes in handy when you're trying to get the perfect fit for friends and family during the Christmas season. And they'll prove to be a wonderful resource for tips on sizing to help you shop for clothes as gifts.
