People are still refreshing their Covid wardrobes to return to the office
Shoppers took advantage of holiday discounts to snag new clothes and shoes, with many heeding employers’ ongoing calls to bring staffers back to their desks.
Nearly five years since the pandemic hit, many people still haven’t finished refreshing their Covid-era closets.
Many did so over the holidays, taking advantage of this season’s competitive discounts to buy a few things for themselves alongside gifts for others.
“This was a very solid holiday season for retailers,” said Neil Saunders, managing director of the retail consultancy GlobalData. “Consumers dug deep and boosted spending. Retailers also worked hard to secure trade by offering discounts that were slightly more generous than last year.”
Clothing, footwear and jewelry posted some of the biggest spending growth, according to recent data from Visa and Mastercard.
Now that they’re coming back into the office, they feel like they’ve lost their complete style identity.
