The Hot Season Of The New Men'S Wear Show
During the Christmas shopping season, men's clothing sales figures from major retailers in Europe and the United States were very bright, and this promising trend is expected to remain in 2011. Men are rekindling their enthusiasm for shopping, and psychologists and financial experts owe it to the continued downturn in the economy.
Yes, you can really credit the re prosperity of men's clothing.
Economic crisis
。
Behavioural experts say shopping behavior is unusual for most men, but in the 2010 New Year's shopping season, men's sales figures are bright, and retailers expect (at least hope) that this growth will continue in 2011.
It seems that men's clothes are really worn out. It's time to buy some new clothes for them.
Meir Statman, a behavioural finance expert, thinks that the financial crisis has stirred up men's fighting spirit, because men suddenly find themselves in the "adversity" that wearing the right clothes is definitely an advantage in competition.
"Well dressed is no longer just a way to get a good impression of women," he said. "Clean appearance also impressed bosses.
Male compatriots are constantly aware of the fact that competition outside is brutal.

Statman spent a whole chapter discussing buying clothes.
"Clothes are visual objects that display status.
Perhaps your home has very expensive furniture, but only a few friends and relatives rarely see it.
More outsiders only saw your car, your watch and clothes.
Most people compete with each other on clothes.
The author himself obviously does not support this.
He said, "I am a professor. I am an older generation.
I usually buy clothes in old department stores.
I have three sets.
Suit
But there are patches at the neckline. "
He also pointed out from a male perspective: "buying new things does make you feel good, but I think what men most want to do for men is to accompany their wives in shopping.
However, in the competitive economic background, men do feel that they need to spend some energy on their appearance.
MarcGob e, President of Emotional Branding LLC, believes that men's shopping has been suppressed for a long time before they detonate the fashion for men's fashion, and men fill the long shelf wardrobe. "Satisfying your shopping desire is more like a psychological reward. Men are gradually discovering the truth that women have always known."
From a psychological point of view, fashion is a way of pleasing and expressing hope.
A new shirt will change your mood. A new skirt can give you confidence immediately, and a pair of new shoes may make you look at life in a different way.
Gob said, "fashion is a way to feel good about yourself, even though it's a more luxurious way.
At the time of economic depression, people felt the pressure on their shoulders and the anxiety in their hearts intensified, which led to great changes in men's view of fashion.
For example, I went to Gap on the way to the theatre yesterday, and I really went for a stroll. Pants, skirts and T-shirts looked cool.
Good design with innovative materials, everything is very appropriate, and it's not boring at all. It's not like the products that have never been sold for a season. "
The men returned to the shopping center, and the suits and high-end sportswear were at the top of their shopping list.
Data released by Spending Pulse, a data research firm at MasterCard consulting, showed that sales of men's clothing increased by 10.5% during last Christmas.
Blacks Retail, which tracks sales of independent stores, also revealed that sales of men's clothing jumped 20%.
When men's clothing sales experienced explosive growth, the economic situation is still not optimistic.
The unemployment rate in Europe and the United States remains high, and fuel costs are rising.
Consumer confidence is still weak, and the rise in raw material prices has led to a surge in retail prices.
Retailers, however, seem to be forever optimists.
Shopping malls have increased their purchase budget this year, and began relocating stores to attract more male customers.
Take four famous European and American department stores such as Saks FifthAvenue, Liberty, La Rinascente, Printemps as an example, everyone is planning or has completed the reconstruction of men's wear area.
Stephen Ayres, Menswear purchasing manager of Liberty department store in London, said that the mall will expand 15% of the floor space for men's clothing this year.
The shop of Ralph Lauren's Retro line RRL will be unveiled in February.
He also pointed out that in 2010 men's clothing sales increased by two figures, of which the purchasing power of high-end goods was particularly significant.
"Especially in the second half of the year, we clearly feel that customers are starting to invest in expensive clothes again."
He said.
In the past year, the sales of coats have increased by 40%, while the sales of men's bags have doubled compared with that of 2009.
The economic crisis seems to have stabilized consumers' enthusiasm for fashion. European retailers say consumers are enthusiastic about their brands.
Ayres said the sales of Burberry London and Burberry Prorsum were strong last year.
La Rinascente stores in Milan also win a gratifying rise with the popularity of Italy brand.
Menswear buyer Vincenzo Napolano revealed that a new men's fashion house is expected to be completed in the second half of the year.

He also pointed out that men's coats and knitwear were especially popular last year.
The increase in sales is mainly due to the addition of new brands in stores and the huge growth of international tourists.
Tancr Dede Lalun, purchasing manager of Printempsd department store in Paris, has revealed that this year's menswear floors will be renovated and there will be more room for luxury men's shoes.
She also says that new brands such as Acne, Sandro, APC, and Paul SmithJeans are leading the market, "they attract customers who only care about the new season, not the discount."
Buyers have stressed that close cooperation with suppliers is very important, so that they can facilitate the development of those unique products, such as some small independent brands, and the exclusive partnership between brands and department stores.
DavidWalker-Smith, director of the men's wear and beauty Department of Selfridges department store in London, said that the men's wear business was a great success in 2010 and sales of shoes were very good. "Sales of Prada, Gucci, Paul Smith and Tod" s men's shoes are flourishing due to the return of classic happy shoes and driving shoes.
He also mentioned that Western-style clothes, coats and a big line of men's wear were the best selling categories in 2010.
"Prada, Dior Homme, Balenciaga, Alexander Mc Queen and other brand sales are amazing."
The department store's own men's wear brand is also competitive because of its good quality and reasonable price.
Printemps will launch a complete series of shirts, knitwear and accessories this season. Liberty is also planning to launch a series of garments including 200 fashionable single items, which will be displayed in Florence men's wear week.
Moreover, the series will be arranged in the area adjacent to the designer brand.
Saks's purchasing manager, TomOtt, said that their men's wear lines dominated men's clothing sales, followed by coats and accessories.
He predicts that this strong growth will continue this year.
"The spring of luxury seems to be coming back. It's really great."
He said.
David Fisher, purchasing manager of Bloomingdale department, noticed a substantial increase in wholesale prices.
"The price increase of cashmere and cotton has become a reality."
"But we try to reduce costs through consultation," he said.
When we make clothes, we will never cut corners. We will look for different sources to lighten this effect.
We have not yet found any greater adverse effects. "
Speaking of sales trends, Fisher believes that the sale of the best suit and top sportswear sold last year will continue to rise in 2011.
"We have a more ambitious plan - 2007 as a foothold and a profit indicator."
He declared.
In the new season's men's wear show, he looks forward to seeing more fresh elements appearing in casual wear. "For those immutable styles, we should actively look for new suppliers and new ideas.
In addition, there are some new movements in sports jackets and coats.
