OK, since we all know by now that Amazon seems to run the world, it only makes sense that we (humans) shop there for our clothes, too, right? Amazon does have some nice clothes… and not having to go into a store does sound pretty nice…
Do you shop for any clothing items on Amazon? If so, how much of your clothing do you buy there? All of it? A few items here and there? Or have you never bought any clothes on Amazon?
Some people swear by Amazon for basics like socks, T-shirts, and jeans, while others take a chance on trendier items or even shoes. The reviews and photos from other buyers can really help when you’re not sure about sizing or quality. Plus, with free returns on a lot of clothing, it can feel pretty low-risk.
But of course, it’s not for everyone. Some folks prefer to try things on in person or support smaller retailers instead. And others have had bad luck with sizing or fabric quality and decided it’s just not worth it.
There are some things we like to buy on Amazon. Like this American flag T-shirt that’s made out of RVs (seriously, it’s cool). Or, ya know, if you really, really, really like hot dogs… there’s always this.
If you do buy a lot of clothing on Amazon, how often do you return items that you either do not like or don’t fit, or for some other reason? Please leave a comment.

Clothing requires touch, fitting and other personal feel.
Socks, underwear, t-shirts do not need fitting. Plus Amazon returns are EZ-PZ. I buy jeans, shoes, etc. in person.
None but my shoes are LL Bean.
I buy lots of mine online from Land’s End.
Unless it’s a name brand that we are familiar with, none.
Most of the no name clothing sizes are inaccurate or poor quality.
Shoes, sandals, underwear from Amazon. Jeans, tops from thrift stores.
After Amazon’s illegal scam putting people into Prime without their consent and then making it very hard to get out (all while charging their CC for months), then being completely uncooperative and lying to the DOJ and FTC (who filed a Federal lawsuit), I quit buying from Amazon. Also, got some knock-off parts shown as OEM from them, so they completely lost my trust.

I had the same problem. I seldom buy anything from Amazon because of their shipping policy and pricing. However, I did not contact them directly about the automatic Prime enrollment – but I did contact my CC co., who investigated – Amazon cancelled the transaction immediately, so while it made me very angry with them – their immediate attention was and is also appreciated! I wasn’t aware of the lawsuits at the time.
Lawsuits filed in 2023. Per the very recent article, looks like the trial starts in September.
You took the right action to contact your CC carrier first. When I first read about the dark software thing Amazon was using to pull the scam, it seemed as though victims were spending too much time trying to get Amazon to cancel it when Amazon’s goal was to keep collecting Prime billings.
I caught the scam right away when the checkout process asked me if I wanted free Prime and on clicking “no” it was still in my cart and not removable. I cancelled the whole cart.
I’ve started buying more clothing on Amazon. I’m in central NH and outside of the outlet mall (no thanks), we have a small Kohls and Walmart. I’d have to travel 35 minutes for a Target and JC Penney. An actual mall is an hour away.
Once I know what style and size, I have been buying from Amazon. Both clothing and footwear. I’d like to support local but in the sneakers I wear, Hoka’s, no shoe store here has fun colors.
Sadly, I have very odd proportions, so I need to be able to try things on. Luckily, I care more for comfort than anything else, so once I find a brand of jeans that fit, I stick with it, and I wear T-shirts almost exclusively, so I don’t need to buy clothes very often.
I hate buying anything new, probably why we’re financially sound, and not opposed to shopping thrift shops, Goodwill, and Salvation Army stores. I have ordered clothes at Amazon but only “dress pants and shirts” that I needed. I’m currently looking for a 1-3 yr old car to replace the one I’ve driven for 13 years. I’ll be paying cash for it.
While Hubby loves several brand of cargo shorts that I can only find on Amazon anymore, I don’t buy any of my clothes from Amazon. I go directly though the product’s website.
Thank you for the question, RV Travel! I suspect it is “some of it.” I have seven or eight fishing shirts that I usually take RVing. All but three came from Amazon. Most of my current jeans came from Amazon. I think that’s it for apparel. I have three pairs of shoes that came from Amazon. Have a great week and safe travels!
