It’s easier than ever to shop over the Internet today and locate just what you need in just the right size. And you can find a wealth of beautiful designer items, including designer pants, right online. Best of all, you can shop on the Internet 24 hours a day, even in your pajamas, and you won’t have to wait in any lines!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer with Internet access
  • Tape measure
  • Pajamas
  1. Step 1

    Shop when you have a little time to look around online and see your choices. There is a wealth of options out there.

  2. Step 2

    Visit the websites of retailers you know and like first.

  3. Step 3

    Check out discount sites that carry designer lines, such as Bluefly.com and Overstock.com.

  4. Step 4

    Do keyword searches for designer pants and see what other sites come up.

  5. Step 5

    Search ebay for pants in designer brands you like.

  6. Step 6

    Check out the websites of high end department stores, such as Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Saks and Neiman Marcus. All of them have designer pants online.

  7. Step 7

    Get the best fit by going to the store first and trying on pants by different designers first, so you become familiar with how they size their items. Every designer is different so you don’t want to guess.

  8. Step 8

    Read size charts online for brands you don’t know and have a tape measure handy to make sure you are ordering the right size. (European sizes run differently, so you want to check the measurements on those carefully.)

  9. Step 9

    Be sure you know the store return policy in case the pants don’t fit when they arrive.

Tips & Warnings
  • Remember that many stores, like AnnTaylor, Banana Republic and J Crew, have their own websites and you can often browse online to identify styles you like then find out which of their store locations have your size if you want to try them on.
  • When you get something you like that fits well, order a few more pairs in different colors, since nice pants can be difficult to find.Check the fabric and washing directions when you buy pants online so you will know what you are getting.
  • Beware of online stores you haven’t heard of and do a search for customer reviews and comments. While most websites are reputable, there are some that sell fake designer clothing, so be careful of where you shop and what you buy to ensure you don’t get scammed.
