The BAZAAR Guide to Online Shopping

“Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below.”

We live in an infinitely expanding shopping universe, with hundreds, if not thousands, of digital storefronts dedicated to every clothing category. More stores log on and give us new options to consider every day. Clear your tabs before you try ordering anywhere else: We’ve done the preliminary window shopping for you.

No matter what you’re hunting for—a quilted jacket, a beachy cover-up, or a simple white t-shirt—start with our list of the 53 best online clothing stores ahead. We’ve selected a mix of luxury retailers, essentials brands, and hidden direct-to-consumer gems that culminate in the ultimate closet. If the internet is just a virtual mall, the following list is your trusted directory.

Legendary designers, up-and-coming emerging labels, and upscale yet everyday brands: Net-a-Porter carries it all, with hundreds of new arrivals appearing online each week. Filter by “Cult Finds” or “Exclusives” to uncover the most sought-after items you won’t find on other sites, no matter how hard you look.

True fashion girls shop SSENSE before any other multi-brand site. Sure, its designer roster overlaps with other stores, but its selection reflects the closets of the best fashion week street style. The same goes for its “Everything Else” section, where you can find eclectic home goods and tricked-out tech accessories.

Because who doesn’t want that LV monogram hanging in her closet? Louis Vuitton’s online store is the bridge between you and an off-the-runway jacket or top, or one of its signature leather goods. There’s also a filter to direct you toward in-store exclusives, should you plan a trip to one of its flagships.

Even before Kendall Jenner became creative director, FWRD carried an edit fit for a model’s wardrobe. But for a preview of what’s to come in Jenner’s street style, you can shop a selection of her favorite pieces from labels like Khaite, Peter Do, and Acne Studios.

What started as a platform and store for dedicated yogis has evolved into celebrity-favorite activewear shop for tennis, dance, and more. Alo Yoga’s new arrivals can sell out fast, thanks to its legendarily soft fabrics—so if you see something you want in your gym bag, you should order ASAP.

If you’re hunting for something extra-special, try its pre-owned section. This vintage archive is filled with Chanel, Cartier, and more.

BAZAAR editors have said it before, and we’ll say it again: Skims, the Kim Kardashian-helmed shapewear and essentials brand, is very good.

Each piece comes in sizes XXS–4X, whether you’re after an ultra-soft robe or a jersey slip dress.

If you want your denim eco-friendly, you’ll order it from DL1961. This site, and sister label Warp + Weft, craft high-performance jeans with post-consumer waste and a water-reducing production process. Of course, you don’t see that legwork when your order arrives: what you get are soft and endlessly wearable jeans. (If your pairs don’t fit on the first try, its returns process is seamless.)

Henning delivers elevated workwear to women size 12 and above—a previously underserved market, as founder and plus-size model Lauren Chan knew personally. From classic trench coats to matching knit sets, Henning combines timeless but hard-to-find pieces with fits tailored to curvy shoppers, and each piece is made-to-order.

La Garçonne may be a global retailer, but its online storefront has the feel of a jewel box Parisian boutique only frequented by in-the-know locals. The site delivers a mix of established and emerging designers, all with a tendency toward muted sophistication.

Mango is a one-stop shop for affordable and of-the-moment clothing in regular and extended sizes. Celebrities are particularly fond of its under-$300 outerwear. Mango is also home to occasional design collaborations that are worth browsing, like last year’s capsule with Pernille Teisbaek.

Guided by founder Amy Smilovic’s love of effortless yet polished designs, Tibi’s online store is full of suiting and mix-and-match separates for the creative minimalist. Try its fundamentals line to refresh your tried-and-true classics, or find some very nice saves in its Outlet section.

Hill House Home may have gone viral for its tiered nap dresses, but you’ll find quality loungewear for the whole family, plus dreamy bedding and decor, across its site.
