As population works from home, Walmart reports increased sales for tops but not pants
In the age of social distancing, working from home has become the new normal. But coronavirus quarantine has led to an interesting trend in fashion: sales for tops are up, and sales for pants are down.
Millions of workers, typically bound to business or business-casual attire in the office, are now free to lounge around their homes in hoodies and sweatpants. But tops still play an important role as many employees will get semi-dressed for video conference calls.
While Walmart hasn’t closed its stores, Bartlett said the company has seen a spike in online sales.
Gap Inc. reports similar findings to Walmart : its brands have seen major spikes in sales for comfortable clothing, including joggers, leggings, sweatshirts and sleepwear.
Everlane, a brand known for its work-appropriate stables, is offering “Bundles of Comfort” on its website, which allow shoppers to pick two of the brand’s coziest items at a lower cost, including leggings, sweatshirts, sweatpants, and long-sleeve T-shirts.
