# How to Manage Size-Related Returns in Fashion and Apparel

**Fashion returns often reach 25–40%.**

Poor fit, incorrect size guides, and customer uncertainty are the primary drivers behind high fashion return rates.

Reducing size-related returns requires:

- Clear size charts
- Actual garment measurements
- Model details
- Fit advisor or size quiz
- High-quality product photography

Operationally, handling size exchanges quickly and accurately plays a critical role in improving customer retention.
