Shopping online and make no mistake in the attempt.

If confinement and this "new norm" taught us anything, it is to buy online. I am sure that if before confinement you did not like to buy online, after this you have learned how to make these purchases. It´s true that buying online is simple and comfortable. You can do it anywhere and from any device. The purchase arrives at our house well packaged and normally without defects. Our room has also become a fitting room, and it´s there, in front of our mirror, with the purchase on, when we realize if we have bought well or badly. If we were right, out labels and into the closet. But, if it is wrong? Then comes the million dollar question, what do I do, return it? I like this garment too much but it does not convince me, what do I do with it? It is at this moment when we consider the solution to certain mistakes caused by the lack of previous interaction with the garment in question.

The most common fashion errors when making an online purchase usually occur for three distinct reasons: size, silhouette and fabric.

Regarding the size, normally, the best option is return, but if we like the garment too much, and it has a solution, we can always take advantage of it. The silhouette can also play tricks on us, because we may know how to adapt it well to our body type. I give you some examples:

• More ‘oversize’ than you would like: The oversize trend can lead to certain style mistakes that are not always easy to amend. You run the risk of hiding your own silhouette too much, the solution is to put all the emphasis on the waist by adjusting them with a belt or, if the design incorporates it, skipping its user manual by making a strategic knot.

• A garment that is too short: it may not seem so short when you buy it. There are minidresses that cause a crush but whose user manual ends up becoming a problem. Make the most of it in winter by wearing it with dark pants as if it were a blouse or a tunic. If you add a turtleneck sweater in the same tone, you will also be able to not modify its appearance.

• If the skirt is so mini: so mini that it takes all the prominence (and it is not what you want), there is a method that does not fail: the distraction technique. It can be patterned stockings, a somewhat extravagant belt, or a romantic shirt with an XL garter collar. The key? Divert the focus of attention to another piece of the look so that the set is more balanced.

Regarding the fabric, it´s very important, to ensure the purchase, to look at the description and composition of the garment, because it tells us a lot about it. In this description we can see if the garment contains natural fibers (cotton, silk, wool ...), synthetic (polyester, acrylic ...) or mix. This information will help us both in the purchase and when taking care of it and washing it. Sometimes the photos are deceiving and you end up buying a sweater that, when it comes home, you love but ... it has a less pleasant fabric than you had imagined. Wearing a shirt underneath has all the logic in the world to avoid the dreaded itch, but we suggest something better: turn that annoyance into an opportunity to give that garment an unexpected twist. What if you layer it over a long-sleeved, high-neck top in a vibrant color? You will see that the solution may be even more satisfactory than you expected.

Every online purchase has a solution as you can see, you just have to put a little creativity on it. Even so, remember, whenever you buy online: check the size guide, look at the composition of the fabric and look at the comments. Do not forget to leave yours after the purchase, insurance can be useful to someone. I hope you liked the article, I read your comments.
