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?

Have you not shopped for clothes in person? Just curious, not trying to judge.
But yeah, as an old millennial, I used to have to go clothes shopping at Kmart, Target, Sears, etc. as a kid with my parents. It was annoying and kind of a pain. We could easily spend all day shopping around for clothes for all my sisters and I. Trying things on for size, checking the styles, looking for the deals, etc.
Online is kind of a mystery. Will the materials be any good? Will it fit right? Is one size L the same as another size L??
Especially shoes. Yeah, they look nice online, but they dont always fit nice once you put them on.
Sizing has got much worse in recent years, ever since the uprise of ‘fast fashion’. Its in companies best (profit) interests to have less sizes that covers other similar sizes. What used to be a XS, S & M may now just be a “S” size, but made with slightly more room in some areas and stretchier fabric to allow for it to fit as a slightly larger size. Why carry 7 sizes when you can carry 3 sizes?
Couple this with clothes & goods being made with lower cost manufacturing techniques and materials so they dont last as long, fit as well or resist as much wear & tear.
Profits, profits, profits.
