Back to School Clothes Priced Higher This Season
New York based Women's News Service reports that back to school clothing costs rise this year by 50 cents to 1 dollar per item. Denim and corduroy demand stays strong with allotments, while denim blends, shrinkage concerns, and colorfast fabrics shape shopper caution. Leather footwear up, sneakers likely to rise, and shoppers urged to compare values and inspect fabric quality for durable, well-stitched garments.
