The report mentioned that consumer companies are lowering their expectations as decades-high inflation eats into consumer demand, especially for discretionary items such as apparel. Retailers from Kohl’s Corp. to Nordstrom Inc. have revised guidance downward in recent weeks.

In addition to lower demand, PVH reportedly said it’s revising its 2022 outlook based on “a more promotional environment, particularly in the North America wholesale business.” Apparel companies are struggling with a glut of inventory that was built up during the pandemic as consumer priorities shift, which is forcing them to sell off merchandise at lower prices.
