Asos online shopping

The white and black background of the ASOS website is simple and chic, drawing your attention to the main  pictures of the clothes and other products. It is easy to navigate around the website and the products are neatly arranged in tabs at the top left hand corner. Products are first arranged according to "female" and "male" and further divided into sub-categories of various other items. 


The clothes themselves are not cheap, but with their sale, you might actually find something at a great discount. Coupled with free international shipping, ASOS is indeed very attractive. However free shipping only applies to flat rate shipping, and you have to pay more for express delivery. You can click the tab that says free delivery worldwide to have an idea how much express delivery cost for your region.


The good thing about the ASOS website is that it not only offers a shopping experience, it is a full-fledged portal that allows you to buy and sell vintage clothes as well as share your looks and outfits. The "Marketplace" tab is a platform on which you can buy and sell new, pre-owned or vintage clothes while the "Outfits and Looks" tab is like a Lookbook whereby people can share their looks and outfits. Pretty interactive if you ask us! Not only can you shop here, you can also post pictures of your outfits for everybody else to see!




We placed our order about a week and a half ago and it arrived yesterday. The packaging was a simple grey sealed plastic bag delivered into our mailbox. Our pair of Voi chinos was packaged in another plastic wrapping inside the grey bag with our order chit within.



We like the idea of free international shipping and it is really fun to shop online with ASOS when they are having a sale. Also, the fact that their website is like an entire package is really interesting too! A place to shop, buy, sell and share your outfits with everybody else. The best all rolled into one!
