Who is the American online fashion consumer?
Last year, we went on a quest to try to understand what women wanted (when it came to fashion, of course). Surprised by some of the data uncovered, we wanted to take it a step further. This year, the team at Stylight, Europe's leading fashion aggregation, analyzed the behaviors of our users to compile another data report around the American Online Shopper.
Presented to you in a comprehensive infographic, we detailed buying habits, the growth and evolution of the fashion eCommerce market in America, forecasted Millennial spending power, global mobile vs desktop activity, hot trends, most purchased products and much more. Check it out below!
