How to buy clothes on s that you know you'll love.

With thousands of clothing items listed on okay, how can you know for sure what you'll end up wearing vs. what you'll end up trashing? The secret? Start safe and take chances later. Here's how:
1) Start by searching for clothing brands that you are familiar with and love already. Do JCrew jeans fit you perfectly? Does Banana Republic clothing never fit quiteright? In the beginning, it's best to stick withbrandsthat you'veshopped for in person so that you'll be sure that what you order will fit you. When clothing measurements are given, always use them. Keep a tape measure on hand, and remember that you can always double-check how to take measurements on most big brand clothing's websites--just look for their size chart.
2) The used or new dilemma: is buying used clothing on okayreally worth it? The truth to keep in mind is that what one seller calls "used" may be practically new, while another seller's "used" may have significant wear or stains. What's great about okay is that you have the opportunity to buy expensive clothing at reduced prices because they've been worn only a few times. Be sure that you buy from sellers with good ratings: any seller with a rating below 90% is risky. Don't hesitate to e-mail the seller asking for specific details about stains, pilling, etc. And ideally, stick to sellers that have some sort of return/refund policy. If you spend much time buying on okay, you'll soon find certain sellers that you like best. Add them to your "favorite sellers" list and take advantage of any returning customer discounts they might offer.
3) Decoding the okay clothing jargon: EUC, anyone? Save yourself some time and trouble by looking over these acronyms now.
EUC: "Excellent used condition." Whether the item is excellent or not will depend on the seller's criteria, of course. Generally, however, this is clothing that has minimal to no wash wear and no stains or tears.
NWOT: "New without tags." Just what it sounds like. The original price tags have been cut off, but the clothing is in mint condition.
NWT: "New with tags." The item includes all of its original store tags. Important if you're looking for something to give as a gift.
"Gently worn." Usually more worn than EUC clothing. These items may have wash wear such as fading or pilling.
