"   Photo: H&amp;amp;amp;M  This time next year, we Americans will finally be able to shop H&amp;amp;amp;M from our computers. The long-awaited announcement was made this morning via a tweet by H&amp;amp;amp;M, which read: &amp;quot;Good morning is an understatement! H&amp;amp;amp;M has decided to have online shopping in the US at the turn of the year 2011/2012! Stay tuned for more.&amp;quot; The launch of U.S. ecommerce from the brand is definitely a long time coming, but will you really take advantage of it? H&amp;amp;amp;M&amp;#039;s sizing and quality are both often frustratingly inconsistent, which makes ordering online risky. Plus, going online, paying for shipping and waiting to have the inexpensive clothes shipped to you feels a bit silly when New York City is littered with H&amp;amp;amp;Ms. Of course, this is not the case for many Americans, for whom the internet may be the only resource for a fast fashion fix. But, will those of you who can easily pop into a brick-and-mortar version switch up your routine and buy online instead? We may find some incentives. H&amp;amp;amp;M recently announced that a plus-sized collection would be launching online only. Furthermore, Swedish Hasbeens surely won&amp;#039;t be the last of H&amp;amp;amp;M&amp;#039;s highly-coveted designer collaborations, which, if available online, will afford us the luxury of sitting at home hitting refresh in lieu of spending the night on a sidewalk. H&amp;amp;amp;M are also planning to open around 250 new stores this year, so whether or not online shopping catches on, business is booming for the Swedish retail chain.
