September is a special month in the clothing industry. It's a time of wardrobe changes, returns to work and school, and the first cooler days that encourage customers to shop for new clothes. But what exactly sells best? Let's take a look at both market data and the experiences of LaBalancia.
1. Year-round dresses – sales leader
According to sales data from recent years, September is a time of increased interest in dresses that can be worn both solo and with layers.
Top-rotating models:
-
Shirt dresses in neutral colors.
-
Midi dress with long sleeves in floral prints.
-
Knitted dresses with a fitted cut.
💡 Tip: It's worth having these models in different color variants - customers often buy more than one color.
