Men's outerwear

Article Abstract:

The UK menswear market in the 1990s is complex due to the breaking down of boundaries between casual and formal wear. Brands have become more important for some groups, whereas other groups are more interested in conformity and value. Fabrics are an important feature of the market. Denim is declining, but comfortable, attractive manmade materials, including Tencel, are becoming more important. Mens's magazines are an increasingly important aspect of the market. Retail market leaders in men's outerwear include Marks & Spencer, Next and Austin Reed. Major brands include Hugo Boss and Tommy Hilfiger.

Men's shirts

Article Abstract:

UK consumption of men's shirts increased by 13% in volume, and by 30% in value, between 1992 and 1997. However, growth slowed to 1% in volume between 1996 and 1997, and the forecast is for this trend to continue into 1998. Sales, in 1997, totalled 1.7 billion pound sterlings in value. Casual shirt sales were 812 million pounds sterling in 1997, representing a 50% increase since 1993. UK production increased in volume by 43% between 1993 and 1995 to 33.2 million units, but the increase in value was only 18%. Colourful and non-iron cotton materials have both become more popular.
