New York & Company: Online Vs Offline

Anyone who knows me also knows that 95% of my wardrobe is from New York & Company (aka Lerners). I've loved the store since high school because I can always find classy, stylish clothes that are just so me. So you can guess that when I went to pay my NY&Co card off online, and saw their site had been redone to sell clothes too - I was ecstatic! Was the online version all that I expected? Let's compare!

What they sell
New York & Company sells clothes that are great for going from work to the weekend just as they advertise. This means I find clothes that are classy and nice enough for work, but at the same time they are comfy and relaxed enough for going out. I love it because they are business like but still girly. The blouses, for example, are fitted to shape a girl instead of being boxy. The style is best described as "girl on the go" because you can look nice, and be comfy, and feel great as you go about your busy day. Great clothes for the office.

The Selection
Offline: I walk into the store and there are so many great clothes I don't even know where to begin. They have loads of options, and I usually end up spending a few hundred dollars there. I also only shop there once or twice a year to protect my wallet! There are always plenty of choices and even if I initially don't see anything I like, I always manage to find a few shirts, sweaters, or blouses. There are so many pants choices that I can always find at least 1 or 2 styles I like. Clothes are placed together as color schemes or outfits, making it easy for me to figure out how I'm supposed to wear it.

Online: There are a lot of clothes on the website, but it doesn't seem like they have nearly as much selection. Clothes are split into Trends, Apparel, Accessories and Sale. From there you can choose to see Shirts, Sweaters, Skirts, Pants or various other types of clothes. However you miss out on the outfits, you don't get to see things together only individually. Although I think I dress well, I'm still style challenged and I don't always know what goes together. This site makes it harder to shop for that reason.
