Ken Perkins, President of American Apparel research company, said: "bad weather has led to many problems, because people have reduced their income from home on vacation, and lack of enthusiasm for fashion, so that consumers eventually reduce or even not consume clothing products."

Michael Namira, chief economist of the International Shopping Center Association, said: "the retail sales of shopping centers in January are not optimistic, but there is still growth."

The biggest feature of outdoor clothing is waterproof and breathable, which can cope with all kinds of weather changes.

Benhaus, the British outdoor clothing brand (Berghaus), believes that in the past, outdoor clothing had no modification and other decorative functions. The size selection was relatively simple, and it was difficult to attract fashionable consumers, especially women in the workplace.

Because these consumers need to take care of their families and jobs and have little time for outdoor activities, they are not among the target consumers of the brand.

However, the storm caused the brand to attract the attention of some consumers.

Brand leader said: "only a more fashionable look and self-cultivation design can really get to the hearts of women in the workplace.

Fortunately, we have already made preparations and have been improving products in fashion. "

Meanwhile, the design team is strengthening the cultivation of women's clothing.
