Today's consumers are more aware of both fashion and environmental issues, and they expect businesses to reflect conscious shopping values.
With 81% of global respondents emphasizing business responsibility for environmental impact, fashion e-commerce platforms must adapt to meet these evolving consumer values or risk losing relevance in an increasingly conscientious market.
Another major challenge is the high rate of product returns in the apparel sector, with a significant 26% of consumers returning items, as highlighted by Statista. In women categories these figures attain 50%.
This issue is worsened by the complexities of online clothing shopping, where the lack of live size recommendations and the inability to physically try on items often results in sizing issues and difficulties in matching with existing wardrobe pieces.
As a result, website visitors are not self-assured that it will fit through the seasons and outfits. To promote sustainability, it's not about ending shopping altogether, but ensuring each new item can create at least 7 outfits, as stylists recommend, providing guilt-free pleasure for consumers.
In addition to challenges such as high return rates and changing consumer attitudes, providing real-time assistance to online shoppers remains a critical aspect of e-commerce. From inquiries about sizing to style recommendations, timely and personalized support is essential in alleviating uncertainties and building trust.
