Size and fit issues represent one of the largest return categories for apparel, footwear, and accessories. Causes include inconsistent sizing across brands, inaccurate size charts, poor fit descriptions, or body type mismatches. Returns from fit issues carry high shipping costs and often result in damaged packaging. Better size guides, user-generated fit reviews, and virtual try-on tools reduce fit-related returns.
