Ask HN: What are your least favorite things about online clothing shopping?

• omnivore 12y ago
  Lack of selection. Inability to find it online and then go to the store and pick it up or speed to receive it. How often stuff gets misordered due to supply chain problems.

  Fashion - seriously, I hate it when I find some timeless classic I like, and then I can't find it again a year or two later because the shop completely changes stock every season. Sizes - shops regularly lie about sizes depending on who their target market is (in order to flatter their customers?), and medium in one store might be extra large in another. Fit - I guess this is where your company might shine if you could persuade people to have themselves scan and submit their model to a tailoring shop. Not really applicable to off the shelf clothing, though again variation is again rife between stores without much warning. Too much selection - I'd rather have some simple choices tailored to my lifestyle and taste, and have those dictate what stores show me. In the best of all possible future worlds, I'd prefer if my house AI just took care of all this stuff for me, but then maybe in the future clothing will be fabricated on site, not half way around the world in a sweatshop.
