In the UK, online shopper’s favourites brands were New Look, TopShop, Boohoo and River Island. UK shoppers most frequently searched for a black dress, whilst in the US the white dress was the most searched item.
Across the rest of the world, consumers in Australia, India, New Zealand and Canada show no interest in dresses at all in their shopping habits.
Australian shoppers most searched for ‘ruby shoes’, in India and New Zealand they searched for ‘black caps’, and in Canada shoppers looked for ‘yellow shoes’.
Shoppers that prefer to visit in person still used Google to find their nearest store.
Both globally and in the U.S., the top ‘near me’ fashion store searches were for Kohl’s, TJ Maxx and Macy’s. In the U.K., consumers show a preference for nearby Primark, Hermes and H&M outlets.
