The likely pattern
Apparel shoppers hesitate when size, fit, fabric, and exchange expectations are not close to the buy button.
Signals to look for
- Variant selection happens, but cart conversion is weak.
- Size chart is hidden, generic, or not tied to the product.
- Return/exchange language is hard to find.
Fix the trust gap first
- Add fit notes and size-chart guidance near variants.
- Clarify whether the item runs true, relaxed, slim, oversized, or stretch-based.
- Summarize exchange/return basics without forcing a policy-page hunt.
