Fall fashions?

151949 — Mon, 26 Jun 2017 04:12:12 GMT

Not even 4th of July yet and they are showing a sweater as the TSV.

I think they must have a much higher profitability on winter clothing because QVC really cuts short the summer clothing buying season.

They've been selling summer clothes since the end of February. There are many places where a sweater would feel good about now. Not every place is sweltering. There are still plenty of summer clothes to be shown but it's winding down everywhere, not just QVC.

For me, this is a year round sweater. Seems lightweight, 3/4 sleeves. coral and jade colors. Wouldn't get as much use in Summer as in the other seasons. It is always freezing in our office and I would definiltely wear this sweater to work. Went to dinner at a local restaurant this evening and it was very cold there. I wore one of Susan Graver's Cotton Modal Jackets in White. They could raise their profit by lower electric bills if they would keep the air conditioning at a tolerable temperature It does seem tho that the clearance items are summer. The fashion industry is gearing up for Fall

@Kachina624 Still 98° in PHX at 10:30 p.m. Worst stretch of bad weather I've been in since the Blizzard of '67 in Chicago. And YES, I'd rather have the heat! Summer clothes are pretty picked-over in the stores around here. di

I hear you... I would wear this going to the dentist. Always cold sitting waiting for them to clean my teeth.. this one looks light enough to wear. I'm in Texas and it's too hot to wear outside..

Easy pass for me....longer back ruined the look. That's okay ended up with restocking Pima cotton along with shoes and watch.

Exactly.

This is nothing new.

With the sites having mid year clearance on spring/summer wears and goods, we'll be seeing fall lineups here within a momth or so.

I always remembered summer was 'over' right after the 4th of July. Bathing suits were in short supply......coats were out in the stores and there were "back to School" ads already....

I think QVC just goes with the flow...

I'm in the mid-Atlantic area. This morning (6/26) I'll be wearing a cardigan when I go out to exercise this morning. I see no problem with offering this particular cardigan at this time of year. However, I don't do peplums, so I won't be buying.

i can remember - in the early days of QVC - Kathy Levine touting QVC's offering summer clothes to refresh your wardrobe when retailers had already flipped to winter woolens in July. now Q has gone that way. back then they saw a niche and went for it. that's okay - i can click away at Amazon to fill out my wardrobe during the dog days. which is why A is killing it in retail.

True, this does happen in most retail places. Seasons do change quickly though, at least in the northeast. The Q hosts are always wearing sandals and capri's in the middle of winter! It's kind of crazy that they have to dress like a season we are not in! Watch when the fall clothes start, they'll be in boots and sweaters in July.....ridiculous. (LOL)

Typically, we see the start of Fall fashions by July.

This is a year round sweater to me.

missy1 — Mon, 26 Jun 2017 12:31:30 GMT

This is how they always sell clothes in retail. They put the next seasons clothes out, way before the (fall) season starts. It will be 100 degrees and coats will be displayed.

Qvc always goes into Fall mode right after July 4th, they early this year. They started sneaking the heavy dark stuff in about two weeks ago. I'm shaking my head and giggling to myself...lol I suppose they are banking on shoppers buying whatever the show and they are probably right. I am not one of those shoppers. I don't buy white jeans and sleeveless dresses in February and I don't buy heavy (ugly), dark dresses in June. I did get a nice laugh when I turned on the tv this morning. No doubt, the July 4th Tsv will be a SG puffy jacket...lol

It's 47 where I live right now. Yesterday did not get past the low 60's. I actually wore a sweatshirt when I went shopping yesterday. That sweater combo looks like a cute all-season sweater set to me. How often do we go out to eat and have to bring along a sweater due to the air conditioning? Actually, we rarely need air conditioning around here.

TS like this sweater and then Christmas in July.... QVC will be going the way of Sears here soon.

I'm not sure why this is in community instead of the fashion forum?

But, I don't consider this a fall fashion item. The colors are spring/summer colors. I work in ac and most of the time I'm in ac. I would certainly wear this to work with pants or over a sleeveless dress. Yes I would wear some of the colors into the fall which makes this nice.

Our high temps today and tomorrow are supposed to be in the upper 60's. Yesterday it was in the very low 70's and windy.

I don't like the TSV, but I certainly wouldn't say it's a fall/winter piece. The fabric makes it a spring/summer/fall piece in Michigan. If it were more fitted shape and didn't have the peplum I would consider ordering it.
