Why I'm Reviewing Skirts

Or, why online shopping for clothes is a disaster:

Full transcript:

"I am not a fan of online shopping—for clothes. I rarely do it. 

Why? Well, first off… thrift stores. Second? The disaster that is… buying clothes online. It’s impossible to tell what a garment is actually like. 

I worked at Shopify for almost 9 years… I’ve seen some bad product pages:

  • Tiny pics with no zoom.
  • Or a single picture, with no human in sight.
  • If there is a human, the outfit’s offseason.
  • Okay, there’s pockets… how BIG? Can a phone fall out?
  • No close-ups. No clue if the fabric’s soft, itchy, or secretly made of sandpaper.
    And there’s NEVER video. How does it MOVE when you walk? When you dance? When you… lunge?

Now, add skirts into the mix — men’s skirts.

  • How’s the bulge visibility?
  • What’s it like in the wind?
  • Can you manspread?
  • Can you… pee??

These are basic questions.

I am particular about this stuff. I have a hunch it’s not just me. That’s why I started reviewing skirts – to show the things I’D want to see before buying. One’s up now, and more reviews are coming.

So what about you — what do you wish you could see before buying clothes online?"
