This holiday season, clothing retailers can heed the warnings of ghosts of purchases past to influence the present and the future sales. Customer reviews of clothing purchases will impact what gets sold and what items stay on clothing racks and in inventories this holiday season. The most popular clothing gifts continue to be COTTON WARDROBE STAPLES. Consumer experiences after they wear and care for clothing purchased during this holiday season will influence other customers and their willingness to buy clothing items in the future.
