The Chart
| Question | Why it matters | Keep it? |
|---|---|---|
| Height | Frame and length | Essential |
| Weight | Body volume | Essential |
| Usual size (and brand) | Calibration anchor | Essential |
| Fit preference | Tight / regular / relaxed | Recommended |
| Body shape | Where volume sits | Optional |
| Age range | Minor sizing skew | Skip unless needed |
Notes
Rule 1 — Keep it to 3–5 questions. Every extra question drops completion. Height, weight, and usual size give you most of the accuracy; fit preference adds the finishing touch. Anything beyond that should earn its place.
Rule 2 — Lead with the easy ones. Start with height and weight — quick, low-friction answers — before asking anything that requires thought. Momentum keeps people moving through the quiz.
Rule 3 — Use "usual size + brand" as your anchor. Asking "What size are you in [well-known brand]?" calibrates the whole estimate. It's the single most valuable question after height and weight because it corrects for how the shopper actually wears clothes.
Rule 4 — Make fit preference explicit. Tight, regular, or relaxed changes the recommended size by a full size for some shoppers. Offer three clear options with short descriptions, not a vague slider.
Rule 5 — Cut vanity questions. Age, exact body shape, and activity level add little for most apparel and cost you completions. Add them only for categories where they genuinely matter (e.g. maternity, compression wear).
Rule 6 — Show the answer with confidence. End on a single clear recommendation ("We recommend a Medium — true to size for this fit") rather than a hedged range. Confidence converts.
FAQs
What questions should a fit recommender ask?
The essentials are height, weight, and usual size (in a known brand), plus fit preference (tight/regular/relaxed). That's enough for accurate recommendations while keeping completion high. Body shape is optional; age is usually skippable.
How many questions is too many?
Beyond about 5, completion drops sharply. Aim for 3–5. Lead with the quick ones (height, weight) and only add questions that meaningfully improve accuracy for your category.
Why ask for usual size in another brand?
It's a calibration anchor. Knowing the shopper's real-world size in a brand you understand lets the recommender correct its body estimate, which improves accuracy more than almost any other single question.
Should the quiz ask about fit preference?
Yes. Tight vs. regular vs. relaxed can shift the recommended size by a full size. Offer three clearly labeled options rather than a vague slider.
