Fashion & Apparel

What to upsell:

Accessories with clothing:

  • Belts with pants or jeans

  • Jewelry (necklaces, earrings, bracelets) with dresses

  • Scarves with coats or jackets

  • Bags with outfits

  • Socks with shoes

Matching collection items:

  • Show coordinating pieces from the same collection

  • "Complete the look" suggestions

  • Tops with bottoms from same line

  • Layering pieces that match

Seasonal add-ons:

  • Jackets with summer dresses (for evening)

  • Tank tops with cardigans

  • Shorts with long-sleeve shirts


Example strategies:

Strategy 1: Complete the Outfit

  • Customer buys: Black dress

  • Upsell: Statement necklace, strappy heels, clutch bag

  • Why it works: Customers envision the complete look and want to recreate it

Strategy 2: Build the Capsule Wardrobe

  • Customer buys: White t-shirt

  • Upsell: Black jeans, denim jacket, sneakers

  • Why it works: Helps customers create versatile wardrobe basics

Strategy 3: Same Item, More Colors

  • Customer buys: Gray hoodie

  • Upsell: Same hoodie in black, navy, olive

  • Why it works: If they love one, they'll want backups in other colors


Best practices for fashion:

  • Offer "Shop the Look" bundles with slight discount

  • Highlight limited stock or trending items

  • Consider price point—accessories should be 20-40% of main item cost
