Clothing brands more prevalent in one of the two fashion seasons

I was wondering, which clothing brands do you think are more prevalent in one of the two fashion seasons - spring/summer or fall/winter?

Here is what I think:

Spring/Summer
IZOD, Nautica, Chaps, Vineyard Vines, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Speedo, Arrow, Lacoste

Fall/Winter
Van Heusen, Gucci, Levi's, LL Bean, Lands' End, Calvin Klein, Kenneth Cole New York, The North Face, Columbia
 
Interesting… I wear a lot of the brands you mentioned, but since I’m more of an outdoor enthusiast and athletic, and generally prefer functionality over fashion, I tend to wear LL Bean, The North Face, Lands End, and Columbia all year round, along with Patagonia, Salty Crew, Field & Stream, Cabelas, Carharrt, REI, Simply Southern, and Orvis.
That basically sums up my entire wardrobe lol but I also wear a lot of athletic brands, like Adidas, Ellesse, Nike, and Under Armour. Also some store-brand clothes from Kohl’s or Primark.

I like being warm, comfortable, and sporty! Also fashionable if possible, but it isn’t necessary.

I also pretty much ONLY wear sneakers and boots. Occasionally slides in the summer (with socks! I have no shame!) and I have one pair of regular sandals. I hate flip flops.

Most of your brands seem to be fall/winter type brands, although the more athletic brands can go either way. I tend to wear more spring/summer type brands, although I do buy some of IZOD's Fall/Winter products.
 
Regardless of the season when I want to look smartly dressed I will wear Ralph Lauren as the cut and sizing fits me well. Otherwise I enjoy Rockmount ranchwear or just my collection of clothing for being outdoors.
 
The answers are likely to vary by region and climate - often there'll be fans of local companies.

I've never heard of Vineyard Vines, for example, and I'd assume that it might be a New England thing.

Where I am, the two bigger hometown names, Arc'teryx and Lululemon both hold significant market share. Nike also is quite prevalent, and when it comes to jackets, other names commonly seen include Canadian Goose, North Face, and Columbia.


While not pertaining to your question, I once spent a couple of days tallying running shoes that I saw downtown by brand. In the main central area, Nike, Adidas, and Vans were easily the three most commonly seen brands, but it was quite fascinating that in the business district, that New Balance came out on top and Vans were very scarce.
 
Comfort means a LOT more to me than style. In fact I do not know what brand most of my clothes are.
