What is the fear of buying apparel stocks

I am wondering why there aren't any signs of bullish momentum for clothing stocks as of late. Specifically, I am trying to use the information to estimate when NKE and LULU might rebound.

 

They go out of style.

 

China, Vietnam, Pakistan.... Can sell it at very attractive price and at decent quality.

 

Fear of Garment intervention and little hope of a v-neck recovery.

 

LOL fear ... a pulled thread, or another LuLuLemon Yoga Pants bust out the back door on BigMama.

 

"What is the fear of buying apparel stocks?"
They all eventually unravel, and this needling takes you to the cleaners.

 

Just iron out the wrinkles, in-vest in what you know, and tailor your portfolio to suit your model.

 

If one clothing brand fell another had to rise right, or everyone would have to be naked. Or, is the decline in clothing sales the first sign of imminent recession? What do you guys think?

 

Clothes sells all the time. Trendy clothes (NKE, LULU) when the particular manufacturer catches the right trend at the right time.

 

That's a tough needle to thread, but some say a correction looms large.
