Global Warming Drives Shift from Heavy Coats to Scarves and Accessories

Global warming, marked by prolonged heatwaves and milder winters, is reshaping autumn-winter fashion. Demand for thick down jackets and cold-weather coats has declined, while scarves, tippets, and other accessories have gained prominence for both warmth and style. Hand-knitted scarves using thick yarn, simple patterns, and long designs are leading the trend, with luxury brands like Stella McCartney and Prada featuring floor-length and elegant scarf looks. Plush scarves and tippets have revived, and silk scarves with classic patterns remain popular. The rise of handmade accessories highlights a broader shift toward smaller, versatile items that can transform an outfit.

Shein's IPO Valuation Falls to $40-50 Billion as US Tariffs Drive First-Quarter Loss

Shein is seeking to raise $2 billion to $3 billion in its IPO at a valuation of $40 billion to $50 billion, according to financial documents. The fast-fashion retailer reported a net loss of $99 million in the first quarter of 2026, reversing a $395 million profit a year earlier, partly due to a $328 million fair-value loss on convertible preferred shares. US tariffs imposed in May 2025 cut Shein's US revenue by 14.3% to $2.04 billion in the quarter. The company's valuation has fallen from $100 billion in 2022.
