THE ONLINE SHOPPING GUIDE FOR AG JEANS
You know how it is when you are taking a quick break and pull out your phone to browse through your shopping apps and mechanically, almost absent mindedly place orders. It happens time and again. And when you receive your package, you have forgotten all about it already but you are happily surprised. Then you try it on and thank the heavens it fits. Some days you are not so lucky. Online shopping is only one of the perks of modern day conveniences that we enjoy now. What we have to make sure though is that buying items online especially pieces of clothing, we have to make sure that the fit is right. Here are some tips for shopping on the AG Jeans website.
Tip Number 1 - take note of the fit codes. AG Jeans and most other premium denim brands call their fitting by name. So when you are looking for a skinny fit that is up to your ankle in length in a very dark denim wash with a few details then you can look for The Legging Ankle in 2 Years Trance. Or if you want a high waist black straight cut you can look for The Phoebe in 3 Years Zephyr shade.
Tip Number 2 - check for stretch. I have taken this for granted because I have always fitted in anything I ever wore until I realized that I have actually gained a few pounds here and there and a little bit of stretch in any piece of clothing definitely makes all the difference in terms of wear-ability and comfort. You can find in every piece of clothing at the AG Jeans website that they have complete specifications of fabric content on every piece of clothing. The thing to look for is stretch, elastane, polyurethane, or T400. At least 2% of this and you are good. Trust me on this, based on experience, a little bit of stretch makes all the difference in the world.
Tip Number 3 - always check your size physically whenever possible. So when you are in the mall doing some window shopping, it will be good exercise to try on a few pieces of clothing from your most favorite brands and take note of the sizes that fits you per brand. Sizes vary for every brand and the reason why is because some brands would undersize or oversize an item based on their feel good marketing strategy. If my waist is 34 in real life but in my head I'm only 28 or 29 (hey don't judge me, it happens I swear), I would be so much happier if I fit on a size 30 than if I have to buy a pair that says I'm a size 34. I know it's crazy, but it is very real. So when you do shop online, make sure to check the sizes meticulously to avoid the inconvenience of returns. The AG Jeans website has complete information on the sizes per item. It would be good to compare these with the measurements of your current favorites. Another tip worth taking note of is that an item that has stretch will fit differently than an item without, so you might want to jump one size up or down depending on your level of comfort.
Tip Number 4 - always be on the lookout for ways to save. Subscribe to the website's newsletter and you will be the first one to be notified of flush sale or new items in store even before it hits the racks. Make sure to follow the brands you love on social media to get information firsthand. I have scored countless discounts and buy 1 take 1's just by scrolling through Facebook and Instagram.
Tip Number 5 - just make sure that you enjoy the experience, spread happiness, spend wisely and don't shop 'til you drop. Happy shopping!
