Challenges of Outerwear
Jackets and outerwear are seldomly purchased on a regular basis and customers are faced with several challenges when buying online:

• Size
• Fit
• How it looks on their unique body

These factors have a direct influence on the customers’ confidence to purchase. Furthermore, Boda Skins caters to a global audience, where size and fit differ across countries, making the online shopping experience even more challenging. If the customer is unsure, he/she will likely not convert – this is where Style.me’s fitting room shines and significantly impacts Boda Skins’ online business. Providing a simple and engaging tool to tackle size and fit challenges.

Shoppers have the opportunity to see how the clothing looks on their unique body replica inside the fitting room. These three crucial elements combined increase the confidence to purchase – allowing the shopper to find their ideal jacket that will last a lifetime.
