If you’re like us here at DOWNTOWN, you know that online shopping is one of the best inventions of the 21st century. Why deal with the crowds and long lines when everything you could ever want is just a click away? Here are our picks for the top 10 online clothing stores.

1. ASOS: ASOS is Britain’s biggest online-only fashion and beauty store with shipping to the US. Started in 2000 by Nick Robertson and Quentin Griffiths, ASOS provides an extensive selection of affordable, well-made pieces. Bonus features include catwalk model videos of almost every clothing item for shoppers to see how the pieces move, and year-round sales with up to 70% off.

2. Nasty Gal: Named the fastest growing retailer in 2012, American-based online store Nasty Gal started out as a small vintage clothing shop on eBay. Founder Sophia Amoruso became famous for her ability to turn a profit on secondhand clothes–she once sold a vintage Chanel jacket for more than $1000 (she bought it at the Salvation Army for $8). Today, Nasty Gal continues to sell vintage clothing as well as trendy and eclectic wholesale items.
