Personalized Online Closets

Pick Clothes Based On Body Type With the Virtual Fashion Closet

— July 30, 2013 — Tech
The 'Virtual Fashion Closet' by Essence.com makes online shopping easier than it's even been.

Once you vist the site, the first step is to pick a body type from the options given. Once a body type is chosen, you're launched into a virtual closet. Each week, the site features one piece of apparel with 10 different designs and patterns. When you see things you love, drag them to the boxes below the closet. If you're someone who likes to know your friends' opinions on what you want, you can share what you like on Facebook and Twitter.

The virtual fashion closet differs from typical online shopping sites because choosing an outfit based on body type is more specific than only having the option to choose small, medium or large, as you've probably found from trying things on in stores that you're not the same in all styles. Also, the fashion editor from Essence.com provides helpful tips along the way.
Trend Themes
1. Personalized Online Shopping - Opportunity for online retailers to offer personalized shopping experiences based on body types, increasing customer satisfaction and sales.
2. Virtual Fitting Rooms - Potential for virtual fitting rooms to revolutionize the way customers try on and choose clothes online, reducing returns and improving customer confidence.
3. Social Shopping - The integration of social media platforms into online shopping experiences provides an opportunity for brands to leverage user opinions and recommendations to drive sales and engagement.
Industry Implications
1. E-commerce - E-commerce platforms can embrace the concept of personalized online closets to enhance the shopping experience and gain a competitive edge.
2. Fashion Retail - Fashion retailers can integrate virtual fitting rooms into their websites or apps to provide a more realistic and interactive shopping experience for customers.
3. Social Media - Social media platforms can partner with fashion brands to enable seamless shopping experiences, allowing users to share desired items with their networks.
