But that doesn’t detract from the findings, with its data showing the average Briton admitting they only wear 74% of the clothing in their wardrobes. When it comes to choosing the right style, fit, and size, jeans are the toughest item to shop for online for both men (15%) and women (21%), followed by trousers (12%), boots (5%), dresses (4%) and high-heeled shoes (4%).And 77% of the women spoken to admit that size and fit issues prevent them from even attempting to buy some items online. Meanwhile 50% avoid certain retailers “because the style, fit, and sizing of their clothes is so unpredictable, causing shoppers to lose confidence in buying from them.”
