Sometimes it's better to shop without all the hassle of, you know, leaving your home. No cramped fitting rooms, no annoying salespeople and no lines. Below are some of our favorite e-commerce shopping options for clothes and accessories.

ASOS (www.asos.com)
The UK’s largest online-only fashion store, ASOS’ expansive selection is trendy and well-varied. The items range from cheap to expensive, casual to formal, basic to edgy, high-fashion (Diesel, Miss Sixty, True Religion) to “alternative” (House of Holland, Bob & Blossom, No Added Sugar). Best of all, standard shipping (delivery within 11-12 days) is free.

GAP (www.gap.cn)
The world’s favorite all-American clothing retailer just opened its first store in Beijing a few months ago, along with an online website that ships to China.

The Spanish chain store which produces well-received fast-fashion products has just unveiled a new and improved website, with more convenient browsing. Guaranteed 2-3 day delivery.

Net-a-Porter (www.net-a-porter.com) and Mr. Porter (www.mrporter.com)
Hard-to-find designer items are no object at these websites (Net-a-Porter for the ladies, Mr. Porter for the gentlemen), a luxury website that stocks over 300 international brands including Acne, Chloe, Stella McCartney, Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo. Shipping at around RMB 200/order.

ospop (http://therealospop.taobao.com)
Its redesigned canvas bags and sneakers have already earned shout-outs in the New York Times and GQ. This young American label – whose ethos is built around channeling the working class in China – is finally bringing its wares home via an online sales channel on Taobao.

ShopBop (www.shopbop.com)
Our preferred high-fashion website – with a sophisticated selection of clothing, swimsuits, shoes and bags, as well as helpful trend spotlights to guide our purchasing decisions – has just extended its shipping services to China. Free worldwide shipping in three days or less on orders over USD 100.

Solestruck (www.solestruck.com)
An American-based online shoe store with free worldwide shipping, but you’ll need to use a Chinese credit card to make your purchase. Over 60 women’s shoe brands are available here, including Steve Madden, Jeffrey Campbell and Kenneth Cole.

Taobao (www.taobao.com)
We once devoted an entire cover feature to this e-commerce marketplace, which sells everything from M.A.C lipstick to kitschy tees to Dolce Vita booties. Even if you can’t read Chinese, many of the searches can be conducted in English – plus we have a step-by-step guide on how to sign up for an account as well as find your desired items.

Topshop (www.topshop.com)
This British retailing chain has earned fans amongst “real people” and celebrities alike. We’re not lucky enough to have a brick-and-mortar store in Beijing, but at least they still ship their stuff here for a reasonable price. Shipping in 5-8 days for roughly RMB 110.
