The Coresight Research US Apparel and Beauty Spending Tracker provides a monthly update on the trajectory of consumer spending on beauty, clothing and footwear. We discuss the continuing recovery in consumer spending on apparel in May 2021 after April’s strong figures.

This report covers changes in US consumer spending year over year and on a two-year basis across the following sectors:

• Footwear
• Clothing, comprising the subcategories of children’s, women’s and men’s clothing
• Selected beauty categories

We also present our estimates for year-over-year growth in the clothing, footwear and beauty categories in the coming months, as restrictions are lifted or relaxed.
