Abstract: Fashion leaders used haptic cues the most in online channels and the least for shopping from local and non-local stores. Fashion leaders preferred to use local and non-local stores the most for cloth shopping, though they also used television and catalogue channels. The present study confirmed the earlier literature that low fashion leaders did not prefer to shop clothing from online stores. The study brought evidence for the webrooming effect as haptic cues that enabled buying from local and non-local stores after looking at the information online. The study also contributed to the research literature on fashion leaders' multichannel shopping behaviour and the literature on the need for touch in shopping.
