Just asked my wife how much she spent on clothes online last year and she said it was over $5,000. Considering we’ve bought no computers ever online, the following stats makes sense for our household.

A report by the National Retail Federation’s Shop.org, out today, found apparel, accessories and footwear sales hit $18.3 billion in 2006, while computers were $17.2 billion. The group predicts 10% of all clothing sales will occur online this year, a sea change in how people shop.

My preference remains for any single purchase over a couple hundred dollars — and that’s every computer and most game systems these days — is to buy in a retail store. How much clothes shopping do you do online? What about computers? Where do you prefer to buy them from?

Did this post make you go hmm?
