The fiercely competitive market conditions have made market segmentation inevitable. For the apparel industry to develop, it must make adaptive adjustments to the market segments, and make arrangements in advance to seize opportunities and break through the current bottlenecks.

Many consumers will choose to follow the advice of Internet celebrities, whose opinions may be more truthful to them than traditional company advertisements. As for the clothing industry, clothing advertising must shift from advertising to pleasing customers, and pleasing customers with heart will become the key point. Brands or terminal stores can become self-media, build their own communities, interact with customers in multiple directions, and form customer loyalty.
