Now that summer is in full swing (and we may actually be out this year), that means there are endless opportunities to refresh your clothing collection. Of course, dresses are a wardrobe head suitable for any season, but a year later where most of us wore exclusively sweatshirts and yoga pants, the thought of dressing up a bit more after being hungry for fashion is even more appealing. If you’ve been like me, you’ve probably been browsing the web recently looking for the best places to buy clothes online — IRL shopping is great, but who has the time and / or patience these days?
Also, with personal events back on track (I’m talking about weddings, outdoor concerts, socially distant birthday parties, you name it), there’s a laundry list of dress-appropriate events that make investing in a few new frocks fully justified. Naturally, buying clothes (or whatever, for that matter) means you can’t try before buying clothes – but let’s face it – nowadays return policies are quite liberal.
With all that said, with so many e-tailors on the market these days, it can be hard to find the right place to find the outfit you’re looking for, depending on the size options available, the special occasion in question, or just one that suits your personal aesthetic. Aligned with. Because there’s really no one-size-fits-all clothing store here, we’ve gone ahead and outlined the best places to buy clothing online, whether you’re looking for a retro frock or classic LBD.

Raleigh Floral of the Shoulder Maxi Dress
There is nothing more comfortable than maxi dresses, but unfortunately, they are often flat in terms of style. This is not the case with this fantastic number, which has an off-the-shoulder top and ruffled bottom. The vibrant red color also changes from season to season.
