Tyler Adamson spent $800 on new clothes over the last month or so. Laura Kaster spent at least $500 and Kelsey-Marie Mohammed spent $350.
They, like many other Americans, are starting to update their closets with new apparel as vaccines roll out across the nation and COVID-19-related restrictions ease, bolstering the apparel industry in the process.
"I am definitely spending more," Mohammed, a content creator, told USA TODAY, noting she didn't spend as much during the pandemic.
"It's time for a refresh and I really want to invest in higher-end products that will make me feel good when applying/wearing and add a bit of luxury to my life," Mohammed said.
