HARD disagree about Amazon. It's nobody's friend but most especially it's terrible for buying clothing. For one, just about everything the search algorithm will show you is mass produced at the most cut throat profit margin imaginable, which means even if you ignore the moral complexities of supporting businesses with unethical labor practices, heavy metal contamination, and dangerous chemical dyes, you're almost definitely getting crappy quality clothes that will not fit well and will not last. Not only that but the pictures are, with very few exceptions, extremely misleading or of different products entirely. The products they list seem like bargains because of their marketing but you get exactly what you pay for or even worse, and you end up spending way too much money on something that will end up in the trash within a year or look terrible on you or both.
There are even more reasons not to buy clothing on Amazon, including that most returns you make for size or color go straight to a landfill, but I have only so many minutes in my day to rant about fast fashion.
Yeah, I have never had good luck with Amazon clothing, the once or twice I’ve tried, for exactly that reason - terrible quality, and terrible sizing. The breadth of options seems appealing, but any time I go on Amazon any more it just feels like wading through sponsored slop to try to find something worthwhile, clothing or otherwise
