Although some specialty clothing retailers such as Hollister and Quiksilver have seen recent declines in sales in teen branded clothing products, the overall picture is rosy this holiday. The month of November 2014 saw a 0.6% increase in sales over last year and the National Retail Federation predicts that when Christmas sales close out, there will be more than a 4% increase in sales over last year.
