I like yoox and Etsy.
Yoox has great deals on designers and brands that I couldn't afford at full retail price. Their website can be a bit clunky, but to me it's worth the effort to learn how they think when categorizing things. They've recently added a function that lets you look at just the edgy stuff, or classic, and etcetera.
Etsy is wonderful because it connects me with small makers, which is important to me in the age of fast-fashion behemoths. I can also find pretty much any style you can think of, from boho to dystopian to Avant-garde to ethnic clothing from any culture. I also like that so many sellers offer custom orders at little or no extra charge. I can have something made to my exact measurements and get a perfect fit; or I can order a standard size in a color not pictured in their color chart. I love Etsy for the unique garments, the very personal service, and the value for dollar spent. Etsy also lets me search by country, so if I want a genuine sari from an Indian seller, I can filter for items in India; I can limit my search to USA sellers to reduce my carbon footprint, or limit my search to Egyptian sellers for Egyptian cotton sheets.
I've recently found a couple of Etsy sellers that have garments I love so much that I'm considering going almost full-on Steve Jobs or Zuckerberg and just ordering a bunch of repeats of the same items and wearing a uniform because I love the garments so much. Specifically, this shirt that I ordered in grey and now want multiples of it in grey, brown, pink, and black. I love it so much it's almost unhealthy LOL
So yeah, Etsy and yoox.
