This is a "no" for me.

 

However, the reviews (although there are only 5) are excellent.

 

Would you order something with bad product photos based on the positive reviews?

I'll read the reviews before I decide.  Their issue isn't always mine.

Just because I don't have the same style sense as the reviewers doesn't mean I don't trust them.  In this case, I assume they loved the style as well as the fabric and workmanship but that's not a style I'd ever chose -  not even if you were the reviewer!

 

Think of it this way -   I don't ever buy Linea or Logo.  That doesn't mean I don't trust the reviews.  I just trust my own judgment about what looks good on my body more.

I would not personally purchase the above item of it had 100 5 star reviews .  However, I do read reviews for clothes I plan to purchase.  The reviews help me see if I might need to size up or down or to judge the quality of that item.

Style is taste and everyone has their own taste when it comes to fashion.  I would trust reviews because that person is speaking for herself and even If I don't like the item, I would think the reviewer is responding based on her sense of style. 

 

Sometimes I do think an item over if all reviews are negative but in the end I make up my own mind.  Reviews can be a good frame of reference at times.

Absolutely not,  That would be crazy.

I do read the reviews but I am looking for info. on fit,  fabric and color when it comes to clothes.  I don't want to hear "it's nice" -- that tells me nothing.

I wouldn't even read the reviews.   They're probably fake.   Lol

 

I have bought things based based on bad reviews.  I've wound up loving it.
