Said:

Obesity is increasing in Britain, which means overweight clothing.

Consumer

The number is increasing, and these shoppers are looking for more opportunities to purchase and increase their costumes, as well as more fashionable clothes.

Not only women need more clothing, but 1/3 of men wear XL clothing or bigger clothing. These consumers are no longer small or small. Therefore, all types of clothing retailers should be aware of the potential of this market.

Today, in Britain, the size of the most expensive clothing is 12 yards, 31% of women purchase this size, followed by 14 yards, and 10.1% of the British women (40% of the female population) wear 16 yards and more than 16 yards of clothing, and the population demand for clothing is growing.

But retailers seem unable to meet demand, because more than half of women wear 18 yards, and they find that there are not enough stores to supply different sizes.

In addition, of the 10 women, 4 wore 18 or more sizes. They thought that the costumes were not as fashionable as the smaller sizes.

Many of the main street retailers have not yet expanded the range of clothing, they can not meet the increasing demand for overweight clothing buyers.

With the increase in obesity, a new generation of young people, fashion conscious fashion clothing consumers, are looking for fashionable clothes for slim women.

At the same time, the "vanity size" problem also seems to affect consumers' shopping habits, though retailers may not like it.

But in fact, of the 10 clothing shoppers, more than 4 (44%) shoppers do not like the different sizes of clothing in different shopping malls nowadays. They are not sure of the size. 44% of shoppers insist on purchasing clothes in a few stores, because they know the sizes of these stores, and they know which sizes and styles are suitable for their size.

Although the shopping mall may introduce "vanity scale" to cater for the psychology of consumers and encourage purchases, shoppers seem to be very clear about what is happening, so doing so has the opposite effect.

Retailers need to regain the confidence of consumers in overweight clothing. On the one hand, they help consumers, on the one hand, make up the clothing policy. Only in this way can they win back the hearts of shoppers and their wallets.
