Apparel and footwear specialists was among the channels most negatively impacted by the pandemic and has struggled to return to 2019 sales levels. Over the forecast period, it is expected to record stable value growth (at constant 2023 prices) to outpace all other non-grocery retailers.
Many of the leading retailers in apparel and footwear specialists aim to revamp their outlets to better meet changing consumer interests and increase their store networks to reach a wider audience across the UK over the forecast period. In December 2022, Clarks launched its immersive Modern Workshop concept at its Kingston store, and at the start of 2023, extended this to two more stores in the UK.
The casualisation trend in fashion has been gaining traction in the UK and is likely to continue becoming increasingly influential for consumers in their choice of attire, driving sales in categories such as sportswear, and fuelling sales for apparel and footwear specialists. Sportswear is no longer confined to gyms but has become a staple in everyday clothing, reflecting a broader lifestyle choice for comfort and performance.

Apparel and footwear specialists are chained or independent retail outlets with a primary focus on selling one or more of the following categories: clothing, footwear, and/or fashion accessories (costume jewellery, sunglasses, belts, hats, gloves, handbags, scarves, etc.). Apparel specialists include specialty apparel like wedding dress shops. Example brands include Primark, TJ Maxx, and Zara. Sportswear retailers, such as Adidas and Nike, are excluded from this channel and are included in Sports Goods Stores; this is due to the companies considering themselves sports companies as opposed to apparel companies.
