🧵 Fit Education: Empowering Confident Online Shopping

Role: Lead UX/UI Designer Team: 1 UX Designer, 1 UX Researcher, 1 Product Owner Timeline: 8 Weeks

🧠 The Challenge

At Abercrombie & Fitch, we recognized that fit is a crucial factor influencing purchase decisions. Despite implementing various fit features, many customers still expressed uncertainty about selecting the right size. Our goal was to enhance customer confidence in sizing choices during online shopping

🔍 Research & Insights

Through a comprehensive site audit, analysis of customer feedback, and data analytics, I identified key issues contributing to customer uncertainty:
Fit information was difficult to locate
Details were scattered across the product page
Inconsistencies in presentation
Information lacked relevance to individual products
Content wasn't relatable to diverse customer needs
Audit of size information
Audit of size information

🎯 Design Objectives

To address these challenges, we focused on five strategic goals:
Discoverability: Ensure fit information is easy to find
Consolidation: Centralize all fit-related details
Consistency: Standardize the presentation across products
Contextual Relevance: Tailor information to specific products
Relatability: Present content that resonates with a diverse customer base
Design wireframe concepts
Design wireframe concepts
I began with sketches and wireframes to conceptualize options for where this size information could be. These concepts went through multiple rounds of feedback and usability testing to ultimately take us to the final solution.

The Solution

Our solution created a "hub" for fit information, in a place customers are already expecting this information to be - the Size Guide. 
Product-specific fit details
Contextual information relevant to each item
A snapshot of all size-related data to aid decision-making

📈 Results

Implementing the new Size Guide led to a statistically significant increase in Revenue Per Visitor (RPV) during A/B testing. Given its success, the feature was rolled out to all site traffic.
