Researching clothes is part of the fun. I am more of an after the fact researcher (learning about a new label, or more about an old one, after I thrift an item). DH works in an area related to targeting ads all I can say is whatever you think big data knows about you - it knows more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-online-shopping-became-a-research-project#post-1655836 Fri, 06 May 2016 02:45:09 +0000 LaPed 1655836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a millennial I can totally relate to this. Actually, brick-and-mortar shopping sometimes gives me anxiety because I find it overwhelming now -- rifling through tags for price, fabric content, country of origin, etc, it feels tedious and I always worry someone will think I'm trying to shoplift when I handle garments, especially accessories (yes, this is ridiculous and probably generational). </p> <p>I dislike the lighting in most retail spaces, and there seems to be a continuing trend to crowd as much product onto the floor as possible, so there's more and more racks, less open space. I'm not an unusually claustrophobic person, but I find a lot of shops' merchandising lately to be crowded and chaotic (this might be a regional issue -- I don't live in a high-end retail environment). </p> <p>When I see something I like in person, my first thought is always, "where can I find that for cheaper online?" The internet has made e extremely skeptical of MSRP.</p> <p>I do sometimes make trips to try things on in person that I've seen online (I love being able to check online to see what's in stock locally). But I honestly can't remember the last time I purchased a garment for myself from a B&amp;M shop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-online-shopping-became-a-research-project#post-1655819 Fri, 06 May 2016 02:05:21 +0000 rachylou 1655819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that's true about keeping your conscious mind busy ... well, at least so you can look awake in your office cube </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-online-shopping-became-a-research-project#post-1655722 Thu, 05 May 2016 23:06:07 +0000 Anonymous 1655722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw that article as well. &nbsp;I still have impulse buys, but they are very well researched impulses. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-online-shopping-became-a-research-project#post-1655713 Thu, 05 May 2016 22:46:25 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1655713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not going to lie ... &lt;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.racked.com/2016/5/5/11596078/how-online-shopping-became-a-research-project">http://www.racked.com/2016/5/5.....ch-project</a>&gt; Hey, it's better than impulse buying! </p>
