VWEAR officially launched on January 7, 2026, marking the culmination of a decade-long development effort to bring a native virtual fitting room application to apparel websites. The technology, which uses artificial intelligence to overlay clothing onto a user's uploaded photo, aims to reduce the uncertainty and high return rates associated with online clothing purchases.
According to the company, VWEAR's solution is the only fitting-room application that lives directly on apparel websites as a native integrated application, rather than requiring shoppers to navigate to a separate platform. This integration is designed to enhance the shopping experience, potentially increasing traffic and engagement for retailers. The platform is now available for integration with major e-commerce platforms including WooCommerce, Shopify, BigCommerce, Wix/Squarespace, and WordPress.
Erving Percy, CEO and founder of VWEAR, emphasizes the company's commitment to breaking barriers and promoting diversity in both fashion and technology. As a black-owned business, VWEAR seeks to provide a personalized and empowering online experience for all shoppers. The company invites retailers and consumers to join the movement and experience a new standard in virtual try-on.
The launch comes at a time when online apparel sales continue to grow, but high return rates—often due to poor fit—remain a significant challenge for retailers. VWEAR's technology aims to address this by giving shoppers confidence in their purchases before clicking buy. The company believes that by eliminating guesswork, it can reduce unnecessary returns and associated costs while boosting customer satisfaction.
