Participation in extracurriculars like theater programs and team sports drives sales for costumes and uniforms, while academic gowns account for another significant share of costume and team uniform manufacturers. These two product segments cater to, at times, the same types of customers but in different ways. Parents' investment in children's theater and sports participation, reflected by costumes and uniform purchases, remains highly discretionary.

Monetary policy's has responded with interest rate hikes to curb price inflation and employment, eventually straining people's willingness to invest in children's extracurricular participation.
