I also noticed that from 1 January, our largest supermarket starts selling hot cross buns - a shame not to wait until the true Lenten and Advent seasons. It seems like any excuse to sell more things.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284733 Fri, 07 Oct 2022 05:41:02 +0000 Anonymous 2284733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It isn't even truly fall yet here. &nbsp;I an still wearing tanks with toppers if needed. &nbsp;I am definitely not thinking of the December holidays yet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284708 Fri, 07 Oct 2022 00:38:27 +0000 Cee 2284708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Won't be long before the Easter products are on the shelves ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284640 Thu, 06 Oct 2022 18:09:15 +0000 Jenn 2284640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got a catalog that said "midwinter 2022." &nbsp;Midwinter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284633 Thu, 06 Oct 2022 17:59:23 +0000 Angie 2284633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the thoughts, everyone!&nbsp;</p> <p>I was at the mall yesterday - <i>holiday merchandise everywhere.&nbsp;</i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284605 Thu, 06 Oct 2022 12:08:44 +0000 Zaeobi 2284605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't really been clothes shopping out here but one thing I will say is that the 'puffer &amp; slides' look is very popular here, every winter. Sometimes even flip flops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284585 Thu, 06 Oct 2022 01:45:28 +0000 Jaime 2284585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) Well we are in a different holiday schedule here. Actually in the middle of holidays right now, but I have not been in a retail store for a while.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284543 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 14:50:09 +0000 Angie 2284543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the thoughts, everyone!</p> <p>I think <b>kkards, Sal</b> and <b>cat2 </b>are onto something. Problematic supply chain precautions would be my best educated guess as to why too.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284512 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 12:48:31 +0000 gryffin 2284512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only shop online but now that you mention it yes the heavy winter and holiday has come sooner than expected. I have raynauds. It’s booties in summer. Warm, protected and happy feet a must. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284510 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 12:37:54 +0000 Anonymous 2284510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not here just yet, but there were a lot of Halloween things in shops since early September. Agreeing it's probably last year's overstock. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284505 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 12:02:35 +0000 kkards 2284505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m wondering if it’s do to uncertainty in the supply chain. I know that even This spring things that would have taken 6 to 7 weeks from factories to store in 2019 where taking anywhere from 8 to 15 weeks. So if your going to bring in merchandise with a very limited selling season you’d probably assuming the longer shipping times to insure enough selling time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284484 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 08:53:01 +0000 Sally 2284484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven’t noticed too much Christmas stuff but I do notice that the summery stuff comes out when we are in the depth of winter. Not sure why? Maybe to get us organised or to give us hope. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284473 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 07:11:20 +0000 Inge 2284473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't been into a lot of stores recently, but walk by store windows every day, and no holiday looks so far. I did see an antiques store that already had a large Christmas tree at the entrance:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284470 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 06:58:58 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2284470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have noticed more and early holiday stuff, in general, in the couple of stores I’ve been in. I feel like it’s not ahead of what people are doing, though. We have had a huge amount of Halloween decorations up at work since mid-September. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284445 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 03:26:47 +0000 Jenni NZ 2284445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In NZ obviously the seasons are opposite, but I did notice last week, when it was still September, that a “pop up store” of The Christmas Temptations Company had already opened- 3 months ahead of Christmas, which did feel early. For us with it being summer by then anyway the pretty party dresses are in stores for warmer weather.<br /> I am still excited about all the fuchsia I am seeing, but not buying, more planning outfits with some of my older bright stuff. It is too cold to wear Spring clothing yet, we are having a week of back to colder weather ( “polar blast”, they say). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284436 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 02:59:06 +0000 sarah 2284436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>There was a story about this on Marketplace last night.</div><div><br /></div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.marketplace.org/2022/10/03/how-retailers-are-trying-to-beat-forecasts-of-a-slower-holiday-season/">https://www.marketplace.org/20.....ay-season/</a><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284433 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 02:26:17 +0000 Carla 2284433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! &nbsp;I was so surprised to see sequinned pants, satin slip dresses, fuzzy sweaters with marabou, and a surprising amount of blinged out footwear (including sparkly sandals).&nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>Can’t say that I’ve noticed winter garments with sandals. &nbsp;It’s just not the done thing north of the 49th parallel - unless it’s those crazy kids in the PNW </p> <p> </div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284432 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 02:17:57 +0000 cat2 2284432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think online retailers want us to buy early this year so we don’t clog up holiday shipping. It was over capacity last year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284427 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 01:53:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2284427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>A friend on the US East Coast posted on FB a picture in Costco, with Christmas holiday decorations. No Halloween to be found. Curious! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>But I hadn't noticed the holiday attire in stores. I haven't been in Nordstrom for a few weeks, and I didn't see anything like that in my visits to Madewell or JCrew. <br /></div><div>Banana Republic's ads have been full of luxe looking outfits that could be seen as festive, if not specifically party-wear.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284426 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 01:40:22 +0000 Janet 2284426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven’t seen this yet in clothing retail. But I had to go to Michael’s yesterday for a little project supply run, and the holiday stuff is right out there with the pumpkins and skeletons. </p> <p>I can’t even think about holiday stuff yet. We will be deep into renovation mode in December, so no holiday decorations this year, and I have absolutely no clue yet if any holiday events will be on the calendar this year. If they do come up, I’ll be shopping my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284423 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 01:21:41 +0000 Bonnie 2284423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only store I've been in was Costco to get flu and covid shots last week. They had a lot of Christmas trees and decorations for sale.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284422 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 01:20:09 +0000 Anonymous 2284422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&lt;deleted&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284421 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 01:14:56 +0000 Elle 2284421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have also noticed a lot of holiday wear in our local Bay Area stores - lots of velvet and glitz. Perhaps more people are thinking about going to parties this year after the past two years of quiet living.&nbsp;</p> <p>I haven't seen the sandals with fall/winter clothes.&nbsp; Makes my feet cold to think about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284412 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 00:34:06 +0000 Angie 2284412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting thoughts!

I haven't been in the stores yet but the windows I've noticed are still just filling up with fall clothing, not that anyone here is wearing it yet -- still too warm!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284400 Tue, 04 Oct 2022 23:37:07 +0000 LJP 2284400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nuance has a good point about rising prices and inflation / recession being a worry . Are there going to be as many holiday events this year with costs of food as it currently is ? I know we’re not doing our annual pre- holiday cocktail party this year for the first time in decades . It’s just simply too costly now . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284399 Tue, 04 Oct 2022 23:34:19 +0000 LJP 2284399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was out all day yesterday in stores - no sign of holiday stock yet . Fall is not even finished with deliveries still coming to indies . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-noticed#post-2284398 Tue, 04 Oct 2022 23:31:55 +0000 nuancedream 2284398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is probably due to ongoing concern with inflation. I believe holiday shopping for clothing, in particular, may be pretty muted. I know mine will be. </p>
