Article Context
Bloomberg Opinion columnist Andrea Felsted joins Caroline Hepker and Lizzy Burden to discuss whether the headlong rush toward wearing ever more relaxed clothing over? That question has preoccupied investors since analysts at Bank of America Corp. called time on the sneaker boom this month. In a recent column, Felsted argues the answer is yes. Evidence from catwalks, social media, retailers and sales data shows we’re wearing more sophisticated clothing and footwear again. We haven’t abandoned our sneakers and sweatpants altogether. But athletic wear in everyday life looks passe. Outside of the gym, walking or running, sports-inspired shoes are starting to lose out to dressier styles. (Source: Bloomberg)
