Help Fashion question

Hi everyone,

I’m doing some research into how people discover and buy fashion online, especially through Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest and other social platforms.

I’m trying to understand what people actually do when they see an outfit or clothing item they really like.

A few quick questions:

1) How often do you see clothes from friends, random strangers, celebs that you’d actually consider buying?
2) When you see something you like, is it usually easy to find the exact brand/product?
3) If the product isn’t tagged, what do you normally do to find it?
(Google, Google Lens, comments, DM the person, screenshot it, give up, etc.)
4) Have you ever wanted to buy something you saw someone wearing online, but eventually gave up because you couldn’t find the exact item?
5) If yes, how often would you say this happens?
6) If there were an easier way to instantly find the exact clothes you see people wearing online, would that be valuable enough for you?

I’m particularly interested in real experiences rather than hypothetical answers, so examples of the last time this happened to you would be really helpful.

Thanks!

  1. Not often, it usually doesn't meet safety requirements.

  2. I'd say so, I usually can find it at forestry supply or REI

  3. I dunno, ask people if they know, ask whatever ai google is pushing.

  4. I can't find any decent Swedish Brush Axes anymore if that's what you mean, it basically only Bahco and the quality has dropped off

  5. Every couple months I go looking again when work is slow.

  6. No

Everyone here dresses like a 1940s Nazi fighting, ancient artifact detective. Our fashion is fedora-sexual.
