Fast Market Research recommends "Menswear in Canada" from Euromonitor International, now available

Boston, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/19/2014 --Menswear in Canada registered steady retail value growth in current terms for the majority of the review period, including 2013. Men are increasingly spending money on pricier items such as custom blazers and dress shirts, while dedicating a bigger part of their disposable income to looking presentable. Value consciousness does not have the same effect that it has on womenswear products. Men are more engaged in buying what they need to fit their wardrobe and skipping low priced items. The rise of the metrosexual male gave much more wiggle room to retailers. Retailers' product lines increased to meet the new complexities of male fashion demands. Mixing and matching between different categories allowed the market to increase in both value and volume terms. Fashion items that were once unknown to the male shopper are now part of his wardrobe. This transformational shift in menswear is helping boost sales in apparel overall.
