This year I've decided to fully restyle my wardrobe by purchasing exclusively online.

I've started with a pair of bespoke shoes which I really like

. My next buy is going to be an italian suit. I'm currently looking for an interesting maker

My idea is to purchase quality products at a convenient prices not having to deal with intermediators

What do you think ? Do you find yourself at ease and confident buying online ??
Do you share my point of view ?

Let me know your experiences, thank you !

I would be wary of buying things like suits and shoes online, unless you know how those particular items are going to fit you. Otherwise, you may end with ill-fitting garments and an empty wallet. I would shop in person for a while to get a sense of what you like and what fits well and then move online.

How on earth can you buy 'bespoke' shoes online?

With a shoe there are so many fit variables that it's difficult, at least for me, to find the perfect size without first trying them on. Now, if you're not living near good shoe stores, it might make sense to take the risk of online shoe purchasing.
