1. “Fewer but Better” Product Strategies
Retailers are cutting large assortments and focusing on:
standout silhouettes
better insulation performance
higher durability
premium trims and fabrics
A strong core collection matters more than excessive SKUs.
2. Mid-Season Replenishment Increasing
With faster logistics and flexible OEM production, brands reorder throughout the season instead of relying solely on pre-season buys.
3. Growth of Unisex & Minimalist Designs
Clean, versatile shapes sell across demographics and reduce inventory risk for retailers.
Down jackets with neutral tones and simple quilting patterns are performing especially well.
4. Premium Down Jackets Gain Higher Margins
High-quality technical and lightweight down jackets bring better retail pricing power.
