Macy’s reveals workout clothes, cosmetics most purchased items

Macy’s released second-quarter results today, offering a glimpse into what shoppers are willing to spend money on.

Despite a solid second-quarter report, Macy’s is trimming expectations for the remainder of the year.

With inflation running high, families are buying only what is necessary, but what’s necessary has changed. People are heading back to the office, going out more, traveling, etc.

What’s in? Macy’s says shoppers are buying work clothes, cosmetics, and luggage. What’s out? Casual clothes, home furniture, and appliances.

Macy’s — like other retailers — are stuck with a glut of products they can’t move. That means you may see some steep discounts as the holiday season approaches.
