Weak Fall 2015 Fashion Forecast

Has Fall been hard on apparel retailers.   Yes, I know it is still too early to judge how Fall/Winter 2015 will go down in the record books, but a warm fall can’t be a great sign for clothing stores.  With the warm weather, some people prefer outdoor activities and avoid the shopping centers.  Yes, I understand that a growing number of people shop online and don’t head out to the stores anyway.  Regardless, knowing that the weather has been warm, we are bit concerned regarding this seasons sales performance at retail.  Keep in mind the store inventory is now Fall/Winter, but consumers are not being driven by cold weather to shop for jackets, sweaters, etc.

Do you think that Fall/Winter 2015 will be successful for fashion retailers?

I would not necessarily place a bet on it, but my forecast is a weak fall this year for many fashion retailers. 

Just in case you are curious about the changing seasons,  according to the Almanac, the seasons of 2015 change as follows:

SPRING EQUINOX March 20, 2015 6:45 P.M. EDT

SUMMER SOLSTICE June 21, 2015 12:38 P.M. EDT

FALL EQUINOX September 23, 2015 4:21 A.M. EDT

WINTER SOLSTICE December 21, 2015 11:48 P.M. EST

Hopefully consumers will shop for clothing & footwear for the holidays.  It is important to help support the fashion industry.

Trendy Outfit Ideas For Raves

Festival fashion trends are ever-changing - they used to be handmade tie-dyed and crochet tops and flower crowns. The times of the bohemian and hipster vibes have turned to electric, versatile, bold, and fiery. 

It is not to say that there was no variety back in the day - but people seem to be embracing their fearlessness, creativity, and expression a bit more. And while rave fashion has its trends and themes, do not forget to alter it to your liking - because after all, it is you who gets to decide what you get to wear on your body.

First and foremost, you must keep the weather in mind. What will the weather potentially be like at the time of the festival? Dry, humid, wet, rainy, cold, etc.?

Black & White is Always the Right Answer

There have been few colors that designers (fashion, interior, graphic) have used as much as black and white. Separate or together, they are a safe bet for everyone's holiday shopping list. Whether you’re looking for something for your boss, pet lover or fashionista, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best black and white items that never go out of fashion.

Kate Spade Stripe Slim Battery Bank

Is she flexible? The BFF comes with detachable shoulder straps and messenger straps. Use it any way you want!
