This year, many stores are noticing that shoppers like to squeeze summer habit closer to when a continue is comfortable adequate for them to wear it, says Marshal Cohen, arch attention researcher with The NPD Group.
That translates to a later, some-more light rollout of summer habit as good as staggered and later-than-usual sales, he said. While a 40 to 50 percent off deals used to arrive in early Jul and grow to 75 percent by August, Cohen predicts it will be Aug when a half-off sales begin.
“It used to be Jun would be when sales began and Jul Fourth would be a large clearance,” Cohen said. “Now, Jul Fourth is a commencement of a sales.”
The weeks forward in mid-July and Aug are primary time to demeanour for deals on basis like tank tops and smart dresses, printed pants and colorful blouses, he said, yet it might be trickier to find what we wish since a sales will not be storewide.

“It’s a good time to find things you’re going to wear for a summer months and a good time to demeanour for things that will facilely pierce into your tumble wardrobe,” pronounced Ken Downing, comparison clamp president/fashion executive for Neiman Marcus. “I’m all about a good trend that has staying power.”

“Scoop adult each biker coupler we can find on sale after Jul Fourth since rocker stylish is a vital summary as we go into a tumble season,” he said. “You can make it super girlie, we can make it tomboy. That biker coupler will take we everywhere.”
For color, consider orange, a renouned open and summer paint that will work good in autumn with violets, reds and cranberries, Downing said. An orange handbag, he said, “pops all in your wardrobe.”
Distressed denim and peep-toe booties also make his “buy” list, and anything that follows a black-and-white trend.
Old Navy is shabby by a buy-now, wear-now trend, with stores receiving new summer habit into early July, Narayanan says, adding that stores will have summer equipment like denim cutoff shorts, farmer tops and showering suits this month.
