10 clothing sites with unimaginable sales to cure shopping withdrawals - The Post

Posted: 15 Apr 2020 05:40 PM PDT

Calling all fashionistas of the world! It is no secret that fashion gurus are having withdrawals from not being able to take a trip to their favorite place: The mall. For those who have resolved this issue by proceeding to shop online, these 10 clothing sites will make life much easier as they offer chic, trendy clothes and deals that are impossible to turn down. 

Nasty Gal is a site that virtually has every type of clothing style to satisfy any millennial girl's needs. The downside of Nasty Gal is that it can sometimes be on the pricier side (rightfully so due to their quality of clothing), making it a second, third or even fourth option for many online shoppers. However, during times of a global pandemic when people aren't prioritizing shopping, Nasty Gal is offering up to 50% off absolutely everything with an extra 10% off the entire purchase with the promotion code 'EXTRA10,' 

Princess Polly

In recent years, Princess Polly has become a staple brand in women's fashion. Influencers can often be seen wearing and promoting it, generating a lot of the online site's success. According to the brand, Princess Polly was originally born in "true startup style - out of a beachside apartment on the Gold Coast, Australia in 2010." It has since expanded to acquiring an office in West Hollywood as well, making for a simple and swift delivery and return process. Princess Polly is another brand that is higher-priced, though well-deserved for their satisfactory customer service and high quality clothing. To remain competitive amongst other cheaper sites, Princess Polly has extended their Easter sale to up to 30-70% off everything. Additionally they offer an extra 20% off the entire purchase with the promo code 'EXTRA20' and 10% off for first-time shoppers and students. If you have yet to hop on the Princess Polly trend, the time to do so is now!

Pacsun

Aside from online-only brands, Pacsun is one that can be found in many locations across the U.S. The surf and skate style store has had to move to exclusively online while the malls remain closed. Undoubtedly, the pandemic is sure to hurt Pacsun sales and earnings, considering a great deal of shoppers visit the store each and every day. Without being able to manage their respective stores, Pacsun is staying in business by taking an added 70% off of original markdown items and offering up to 50% off of men's graphics and women's swim. There are also other deals that can be found throughout different clothing lines on the site. Signing up for Pacsun's emails will also earn customers an additional 15% off.

Madewell

Madewell is another store that gains a lot of revenue from its in-store purchases, meaning the pandemic has done anything but benefit their company. As one of the highest priced sites on the list, Madewell is typically unaffordable for college students. With its mature and conservative style, Madewell has a reputation of being high end and rarely holding sales, hence their promo code titled, 'VERYRARE,' which earns buyers up to 40% on almost everything. Still, many items remain duly expensive despite the generous promotion. 

Nordstrom

Similar to Madewell, Nordstrom is another sophisticated and cosmopolitan brand that also has several locations across the U.S. Nordstrom is an extensive brand that sells clothing for kids, women and men. The physical stores are usually large and sometimes even difficult to navigate. Though Nordstrom sells clothing for all genders and ages, it has failed to offer sales for kids' and mens' clothing. Nonetheless, Nordstrom is offering up to 60% off of women's sale items that include new markdowns, clothing, shoes, handbags, jewelry and accessories. Normally, this wouldn't be considered a steal or a grab, but since Nordstrom is frequently upscale, lavish and costly, the deal is still favorable. 

PrettyLittleThing

PrettyLittleThing houses all one could ever need and want in terms of sassy, contemporary and boujee clothing. For those who plan on going out and dancing the night away the minute quarantine ends and clubs open up, PrettyLittleThing is the site to find the perfect debut outfit to wear for the grand opening of the nation. Arguably, it's going to be a pretty big deal, considering no one has seen each other in months, so it's best to look impeccable. But don't fret, PrettyLittleThing is here to help anyone do just that with affordable clothing and a sale of 50% off of everything with the code 'GIMME50.' The sale does exclude beauty and initial sale items. 

Fashion Nova

Another site to meet all of one's party outfit needs is Fashion Nova. With outfits that are intricate, exquisite and unique,  Fashion Nova is offering 30-80% off of the entire site with the code 'STAYIN80.' Items are more expensive than competitor PrettyLittleThing's pieces, which could possibly steer away customers. Though, if one is looking to stand out and call attention to themselves, an outfit from Fashion Nova will be worth the money and do just the trick.

boohoo

Similar to both Fashion Nova and PrettyLittleThing, boohoo's prices are unmatched. For many college students, low prices drive a lot of decision making, leading to boohoo being the best option for cheap going out, casual and fancy occasions. Although, it is undeniable that boohoo's overall selection of items doesn't compare to prior brands, it still passes as an adequate site with mediocre material clothing. With 60% off already applied to all items from bodysuits to hoodies with the exception of sale and select lines, boohoo rings in as one of the best shopping sites on the list in terms of unrivaled prices.

Adika

Adika is a site that consistently has middle-ground prices. Though the site doesn't have as many indicators for what a shopper is specifically looking for, what is provided stands cute. Adika doesn't have much room for filler items that aren't as trendy, so what is there is sure to be popular. With a sale of up to 80% off of everything, there is no doubt Adika will have shoppers deciding what to keep and what to discard in their cart after realizing they have gone overboard. 

Missguided 

Lastly, Missguided is similar to all the previous stores in that it sells a variety of clothes with indicators aiding buyers in the direction they were searching for. Ranging from low cut tops, to bodysuits, to crop tops, to bodycon dresses, to cami dresses and so forth, Missguided has it all. A lot of times the items may come across as basic, but are sure to be cute with the pairing of accessories and a bright makeup look. Missguided is a preferred site for students because of its special sale of 50% off of everything and an additional 10% off for students. Students can confirm their identity by "simply registering with Student Beans," according to the site.

Apparel retailers have an inventory problem - Marketplace

Posted: 15 Apr 2020 02:13 PM PDT

The spring is one of those big selling opportunities in women's apparel. It's when stores put out the dresses, florals and sandals and can sell them at full price because shoppers are so excited for the warmer weather.

But this spring has been a disaster. It started when the virus hit China and shut down factories. Retailers couldn't get those spring clothes to stores in the U.S.

"So then some of them were able to air ship, and they're spending extra money eating into their margins to get the product in," said Sonia Lapinsky, a managing director at AlixPartners.

Then the virus and the lockdowns came to the U.S., leaving clothes stranded in stores.

And now, it's hard for retailers to get those clothes to the shoppers they still have online. A lot of retailers just don't have the logistics set up.

"They don't have the capabilities to pick things from the store, send them back to those warehouses and then get them back to shoppers in a timely manner and an efficient manner," said Tiffany Hogan, an analyst at Kantar.

At this point, these are the wrong clothes anyway. Remember, stores are currently stocked with pastel cardigans and floral print dresses.

"Does that really align with folks who are sitting at home all day and want to be in lounge gear and slippers and robes?" Lapinsky asked.

By the time stores reopen, we will be well into summer or maybe even back-to-school selling season.

And that leaves behind a glut of clothing that retailers already paid for and can't sell.
