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?

I feel the opposite just because I rarely find clothes that fit me well in person, whereas online they can have a broader stock. The sizing is not necessarily an issue because I know what my size is, and I'm hesitant to buy from online stores without a size guide (though my guess is usually right). If it has a size guide I just measure myself to check it's in line with their sizing.
