Women's Apparel Guide
Stores, clothes guides, factories, wholesalers, brands and fashion news for womenswear — organized in one hub.
To understand the meaning of women's apparel, it helps to first understand the meaning of the word “apparel”. Apparel is synonymous with clothing, fashion, clothes and garments, and footwear often falls under the same umbrella. Women's apparel, in short, is apparel made for and worn by women.
This hub is the starting point for the women's side of Apparel Search. From here you can reach the womenswear industry resources (factories, wholesalers, buyers and brands), the category-by-category women's clothes guide, places to shop for women's clothing in stores and online, and the latest women's fashion news. Whether you work in the fashion industry or are simply shopping for yourself, the sections below explain what each resource covers so you can go straight to the right one.
Shop for Women's Apparel
Start with the retailer directories if you want to buy. This section of Apparel Search contains links to women's apparel retailers — brick-and-mortar stores as well as online clothing stores. If you cannot find enough retail choices there, try the Apparel Retailer site and use its search engine for additional options. The shopping guide focuses on online stores, many of which also have storefronts if you prefer to try garments on for size.
Learn About Women's Clothes
Clothing is part of the apparel category, and in the Apparel Search Guide to Women's Clothes we categorize the various silhouettes of clothes — women's pants, women's shoes, women's t-shirts and many more. The guide provides news, photos, websites and more for each category, which makes it a great way to learn more about clothes for women, one garment type at a time.
Women's Apparel Industry Resources
If you are a member of the apparel industry, these directories are the working tools of this hub. Factories produce womenswear such as women's shirts, outerwear, sweaters and hats; wholesalers buy from factories and sell to clothing stores. If you manufacture or wholesale women's clothing, one of the biggest challenges is finding buyers — the industry tracks them down with buyer guides such as the saleswomen's buyer guide linked below. The brand directory lists women's apparel brands from leading clothing companies and fashion designers.
Women's Shoes
Looking for footwear to complete an outfit? You can buy women's shoes at a shoe store or online. This section provides links to various women's shoe stores, plus a few of our favorite shoe stores.
Women's Fashion News & Books
Fashion trends move very quickly. To stay up to date on women's fashion, visit the women's apparel news section — if you cannot be out in the market checking the latest activities, grab a seat and browse the news online. And reading is always a good idea: the books link searches for women's apparel titles, because the worst case scenario is that you may actually learn something.
