For Poles, clothing and footwear are the most frequently bought elements of the outfit. The value of this segment amounted to nearly 33 billion zloty in 2020. On average, consumers spent 50 zloty on clothing and footwear purchases in 2020. The favorite types of clothing purchased by both men and women were suits.

General consumer trends strongly influence the clothing sector. The future of the industry is linked to the continuous development of e-commerce and the emergence of new online stores. Those who decided to buy clothes and shoes online did so mainly because of the quicker process, a wide selection of products, and ease of purchase. Such online shops as eobuwie.com.pl, denley.pl, or astratex.pl are becoming serious competitors for many brick-and-mortar stores in Poland.
