A good portion of the trouble retail is in is due to leverage. Neither they nor their lenders baked online in to their models. The leverage kills the flexibility to adapt to new trends, or in some cases even survive a 10% sag in earnings. Amazon is terrible for clothes, but non-Amazon is fantastic.

>Amazon is terrible for clothes, but non-Amazon is fantastic. Key barriers in this space are fit and fashion. Either those suffer, or the retailer has to eat a lot of returns. I'm between sizes. If I shop online and want things that fit, I have to order multiple sizes and keep the best one. I wonder how that cost compares against a B&M.
