Bloomingdale's Special Details (Women's Pants & Capris and Women's Shorts) Field Guide

"•Cutouts, inset mesh, ties, etc. Print, texture or finish. Examples: allover floral print Technological details (special/patented materials or properties) Impact level: Low-to-medium, Medium-to-high, High Activity made for (i.e. yoga, running) Background info about the designer or design" Max character limit of 254 characters (including spaces).

Special Details is an optional feature bullet Bloomingdale's collects for items in its Women's active bottoms department. It is the catch-all for what makes the garment distinctive once the other bullets have covered rise, length, silhouette, pockets, hem and waistband: cutouts, inset mesh, ties, the print or finish, performance technology, the impact level for sports bras and the activity the garment is made for, plus brief background on the designer or design. The value appears in the features list on the product page and is set once for the whole style.

The rules

Rule Value
Required No
Level Parent listing, shared by all colorways and sizes
Maximum length 254 characters including spaces
Format One phrase, no trailing period
Content Distinguishing details not covered by another bullet
Never include Color or size details, or claims the source data does not support

Bloomingdale's lists what belongs here: construction details such as cutouts, inset mesh and ties; the print, texture or finish, for example an allover floral print; technological details, meaning special or patented materials and what they do; impact level, written as Low-to-medium, Medium-to-high or High; the activity the garment is made for, such as yoga or running; and background on the designer or design. Use only what the source data states or the images clearly show.

Women's active bottoms

This is the Women's active bottoms version of the field. On active bottoms the details worth calling out are mesh insets and their placement, side ties or drawcords, a logo patch and where it sits, sculpting or compression fabric and what it does, moisture-wicking or four-way stretch claims from the brand, and the activity the piece is designed for. Impact level is meant for sports bras and is rarely relevant on bottoms. Do not repeat what already has a bullet: pockets go in Pockets, the waistband in Waistband description and fabric composition in Product Material.

Examples

Value Verdict Reason
Moisture-wicking fabric designed for running Good A performance feature and the activity
Mesh insets at the knees with a logo patch at the left hip Good Two construction details with placement
Allover leopard print with a sculpting high-compression fabric Good Print plus a technology claim from the source
Great for any workout Weak Promotional, says nothing specific
Black with mesh insets Weak Names a colorway
Features mesh insets, side pockets and a wide waistband. Weak Repeats other bullets and ends in a period

Common mistakes

  • Writing marketing copy. "Buttery soft and flattering" is not a detail.
  • Inventing a performance claim the brand never made. Only use what the source states.
  • Restating pockets, waistband or hem details that have their own bullets.
  • Naming a print that only one colorway carries. Say "Allover print" if the print varies by color, or leave it out.

How Osello fills this field

Osello treats Special Details as an optional parent-level text field. When a listing is in a Women's active bottoms category it reads the product description first, then the attributes, then the images, and writes one phrase covering the embellishments and their placement, the print or finish, any performance feature and what it does, and the intended activity, while skipping anything already covered by another bullet. The value is shared by every colorway and size of the style, and stays empty when the source has nothing distinctive to say. You can tell Osello which brand technologies to name with custom instructions. The whole attribute set is in the Bloomingdale's field directory.

Frequently asked questions

Should I include the impact level on leggings?

No. Impact level (Low-to-medium, Medium-to-high, High) is a sports bra detail. On bottoms, use the field for construction, print, technology and the intended activity.

Can I name a patented fabric?

Yes, when the source data names it, and say what it does: "Sculpting compression fabric that smooths and supports". Do not add a technology the brand has not claimed.

The print differs by colorway. What do I write?

Describe only what is true across the style, such as "Allover print", or leave the print out. Color-specific details cannot go in a shared bullet.

Does the activity belong here or in the title?

Both can carry it. Here it is written as a plain detail, for example "Designed for yoga and studio training", within the one-phrase limit.
