Online shopping can be a fast growing way of e commerce. It involves buying straight from the seller over the web without the need of a third party - the intermediary service. An eshop, e-store, web store etc. a few of the words accustomed to describe web sites that sell products.
Even though
clothing websites has evolved with a very fast pace during the last couple of years, still has a good way to go. Especially because internet remains not available through the entire developing world. Accessing internet is difficult in lots of developing countries - and even where it can be, people prefer to use it for emails and general stuff.

Also, shopping on the web is still looked at with suspicion by the large number of the population. Most of the people wish to know exactly what they are buying. They want to hold it in their hands, or feel it or observe how big it is (in the event, say, of the teddy bear) and if it can be a matter of clothes - people prefer to wear and check and the size and see how it looks - all this is not possible online. Customers also like to haggle, make an effort to make the vendor pull around the rates.
But i am not saying all is lost. A growing group pf people prefer internet shopping to real-world shopping. Those are usually people who are hard pressed for time. It makes considerably more sense in their mind to click with a website and order flowers for a forgotten anniversary at lunch break in the office than rush towards the shops after work if it might be far too late. Youngsters too, enjoy visiting various options online - lots of which might 't be available of their city. For example, online book stores are generally well-stocked as opposed to best of libraries or book shops in the small cities. Such, among others are part of the ever-growing population of people that spend more time clicking away online then bag-hauling offline. Of course, people still won't buy groceries online, but shopping on the web has learnt to outpace its baby steps and is fast striding towards a brighter future.
