Context; Blackbird; Need Supply; Barneys; South Willard; Tres Bien; Roden Gray

For me, like most, it's due to a combination of usability/aesthetics and which stores carry the brands I like

Things I like to see:
- clean interface w/ an emphasis on photos of items rather than text walls and ugly banners/frames
- measurement tips for the specific garment being viewed (ie, not a general sizing guide which is ******* obtuse, unless everything is from the same season & designer)
- w/ that in mind, it really helps to post the model's measurements and the size of the garment in the photo
- mega-enlargeable, high-res photos, not taken w/ a point-and-shoot (SSENSE does good here). need to be able to see the details
- list of brands and departments (eg, shoes; knits) in the frame. i already know what i like; i don't need to search by color
- all relevant garment info on the garment's page (eg, country of origin; fabric composition)
- being able to see store's inventory in descending order by arrival date

Context is by far the easiest to navigate and I love their measurements, Tobi is good as well but I kinda prefer their old design.

Taobao.com where I normally go. Things i do NOT like to see and hear on an e-commerce site; Flash and music...... Italian fashion and sales websites, you know who you are!. They serve no purpose here, save them for Sesame Street or Teletubbies.

Among major e-retailers, I like how LL Bean Signature's pages are organized. The "Key Looks" subpage shows how to put various looks together, which I imagine is helpful to lots of guys. The product pages are clean, photos are large, and they allow zooming in to see fabric texture. I would like to see more photographs from various angles however. The comments section is a major plus, as I tend to read them before buying.

I've never been to Context before, but just looking through, it's very clean with lots of information and photos -- worthy of emulating.
