I would buy everything online pero hindi ang clothes. Iba iba size ng mga damit kahit pare pareho size number. Minsan sa isang brand, magkaiba ang size ng same size number.

if human sizing is involved, i wouldn't buy online.
too many manufacturers have their weird ideas of how humans should be sized.
in my experience, adidas lang ang may consistent foot sizing.

Do you guys still buy clothes? Been wearing mostly pambahay since WFH lang naman. Even when I go to the office naka pambahay lang save for the odd F2F meeting.

The only time I wear decent clothes is when we hear mass at home. Parang amoy cabinet na nga yung ibang mga damit.

Wala na ako suot. [emoji23]

Hit or miss. I have clothes I bought online from China/Lazada that got me a lot of compliments but some that I did NOT even wear once. Grabe sizing sa China, parang basis ata dwende na anorexic I look like a suman in micromini saka yung tela see through sa nipis. But then mura lang naman, dresses for less than P500, pero sa US maganda na ang P500

Mom said yung clothes ko ilupi na lahat sa cabinet kasi hindi naman nasusuot, maalikabokan lang...

Wala nga mga tao sa mga stores eh. Tapos bawas pa yun mga employees. Bale ngayon yun maliliit siya na cashier siya pa mag assist. Eh kaso walang nan pumapasok na mga customers.

online clothes shopping --

boohoo, Topman/Topshop, Missguided, ASOS etc killed physical stores in other countries

don't see why it can't happen here in the near future

i noticed,
some china-made items but purchased in the US, are of better quality than similar china-made items purchased locally.
my guess is, the US consumer rights policy have sharper teeth over there..

well people here say they will only buy clothes in physical stores

i don't think they represent the majority

clothing companies aren't gonna maintain physical stores just for a few people

Yes dr, that is true! Even European brands are made in China na rin, but the difference is their quality standards nga talaga

Pero dr, I NEVER in my entire life bought fake until recently because I saw an item in shoppee that looked exactly like original!!! I bought it out of curiosity because I couldn't believe it. When I received the item, it's hard to tell talaga na it's fake. I have a feeling it is the same factory hired by the company to make the products tapos nakalusot.

coz strict ang mga foreign brands sa quality coz the products bear their name

strict sila sa mga contract manufacturer nila sa china

meron mga items na gawa ng contract manufacturer are leaked out

so you can buy those without the brand mark up

ako esp sa shoes I buy the same in 2 sizes kasi nga iba ang fit pag sinukat mo na talaga. Tapos isosoli ko yung isa. That's why its important na pwede ko siya isoli and I don't buy from shops abroad (unless its thru zalora).

i have always suspected,
that the factory's back door opens up from time to time...

point ko magkakaproblema mga local malls tulad sa nangyari sa ibang bansa

tingin ko hindi immune ang mga mall dito

major tenant ng mga mall ang clothing brands

laki ng floor area ng mga tindahan sobra mahal ng rent niyan

kung konti lang tao it no longer makes sense to have that money-burning expense

kaya sa ibang bansa nag shut down ng physical stores mga clothing brand and increased online presence

when clothing brands left the malls died (kasi nga major tenants)

kaya local malls need alternative tenants if they wanna stay alive

sigurado local mall operators are already thinking about that

Wala rin naman kasi masyado bumibili ng clothes ngayon. Cash preservation mode mga tao they would save the money and spend it on bills or food. I even have a colleague nagsusuot ng sapatos sa loob ng bahay minsan kasi nga daw masisira kapag hindi ginamit. People like that and most people these days won't buy more of what they won't use para lang amagin at masayang.

Mom ko minsan naka pang alis sa bahay [emoji23]

Iniisip ko din yan about my sneakers. Seriously, since lockdown in March I haven't worn shoes. Kapag hindi nasusuot nasisira sapatos

i mean even after the pandemic

kung hindi dahil sa pandemic medyo tatagal pa mga mall dito pero papunta narin doon

but the pandemic accelerated the timeline

[uls]

di lang clothing

ung evolution papunta online was already taking place before the pandemic

pero dahil sa pandemic na-fast forward lahat

what should have happened in 5 to 10 years has been pulled forward

[shadow]

So start of SM's downfall?
