What Louisville's weather means for clothing brands
With July averaging a high of 88°F and about 38 days a year at 90°F or more, a midweight tee covers most of the summer, and one lighter style handles the hottest weeks. January averages a high of just 43°F, so the winter drop should include a heavyweight hoodie, a beanie and a jacket, live before November. Rain totals about 48 inches a year, so wet days are part of the season: a hooded pullover or an anorak in the fall release gets more wear than a crewneck. With about 13 inches of snow a year, a cuffed beanie sells alongside most winter orders, so bundle it with the fleece drop. Frost arrives on about 80 nights a year, so local customers notice what a heavier, brushed-back fleece adds, and it can justify a higher price than a standard hoodie.
