Seasonal Rotation Tips
Buying winter jackets in January
Fix: Order in October for November delivery; prices drop after New Year
Buying summer tees in July
Fix: Factories ramp up tee production in March; best batches available April-May
Ignoring clearance sellers
Fix: End-of-season sellers often discount remaining stock 20-30%
