Thus, best prospects for imported apparel include business wear
(basic colours, good quality, medium- high price) for women as
well as high quality sportswear with a casual style and excellent
quality materials (mainly natural fibres) with sophisticated styles
and patterns. Casual wear, mainly denim, cotton-made products
and knitted apparel, have also been in strong demand and sales
prospects for these items have been rated as positive. Spanish
youth is strongly influenced by fashion trends from casual wear in
general (‘GAP style’) and it can be stated that imports in general
have very good prospects in this sector.
