When it comes to shopping, it’s much easier to find a computer that fits than it is to find the perfect pair of jeans without trying them on. It’s surprising, then, that new statistics show more people are shopping online for clothing for women, shoes, jewellery and watches than for computers.
According to survey, last year online clothing for men, accessory, casual work clothes for women and footwear sales beat computer sales for the first time. Most attribute this shift to the availability of odd sizes online. If you know you’re an odd size like most people seem to be, clicking through a web page is a lot easier than rifling through rack after rack of normal-sized garments. Plus, you don’t have to drag your significant other along and make him sit around and wait. Husbands and boyfriends around the world thank you.
