Why Aren’t More Department Stores Closing?
In the weeks following the spread of coronavirus, cultural destinations all over the world closed their doors to the public in an attempt to halt the virus from spreading. And today, Seattle-based department store Nordstrom became one of them. In a company-wide email, it was announced that all of Nordstrom’s store locations in the U.S. and Canada, including Nordstrom Racks, Jeffreys, and Trunk Club clubhouses will be temporarily closed, making it the first of its kind to take widespread action regarding the pandemic. As of right now, the company operates 380 stores total, 248 of which are Nordstrom Rack stores.
While closed, Nordstrom will provide pay and benefits for all of its store employees and carry on with its normal online business operations, which in 2019, made up a third of the company’s sales. According to Forbes, the retail store currently employs roughly 74,000 people.
Manhattan’s iconic Bergdorf Goodman department store will also be closed starting today, according to a store representative. And a number of other department stores have taken steps towards closing, with Saks Fifth Avenue announcing just hours before Nordstrom that it would be closing its Manhattan flagship store on 5th Avenue, as well as its Bala Cynwyd store in Philadelphia, for two weeks. JCPenney also agreed to temporarily reduce its store hours at all of its U.S. locations. Penney’s did officially close six of its stores, but only those located in Puerto Rico, where the government mandated the closing of all non-essential retailers, according to WWD.
Saks will continue to pay its associates at both the Manhattan flagship and the Bala Cynwyd store their normal wages.
Many other department stores are remaining open for now, including a majority of Kohl’s and Neiman Marcus locations, with the exception of the latter’s Hudson Yards and King of Prussia locations, as well as three of its California locations. “We are assessing other potential closures as the situation progresses,” a rep from Neiman Marcus said.
Bloomingdales and Macys, while agreeing to implement thorough sanitizing procedures, have yet to announce any plans to close down their physical locations; nor has Dillards, an Arkansas-based department store with over 250 store locations around the U.S.
Nordstrom’s move to close down the entirety of its fleet is by far the most responsible in terms of precautions taken by U.S. department stores. “We’re taking decisive actions across the business to help protect employees, customers, and others in the communities we serve,” Erik Nordstrom, chief executive officer of Nordstrom Inc. told WWD. “The health and safety of our customers and employees remain our top priority as we continue to make decisions during this rapidly evolving situation.”
With any luck, Nordstrom, as one of the biggest players in the U.S. department store sector, will act as a catalyst for its competitors, inspiring them to take similar action to fight the spread of COVID-19 in the U.S. and worldwide.

Experts Say Shopping Could Calm Your Coronavirus Anxiety
The shelves at Trader Joe’s, Target, and Whole Foods are bare; Amazon is sold out of toilet paper; hand sanitizer was selling on eBay for $500. But are panicked consumers quelling their coronavirus-induced anxieties by shopping for clothes in the same way that they are for disinfectant wipes?
Given the fact that we’ve all been advised to stay home and avoid any public spaces (for example, Disney World, and the Australian Grand Prix), it’s unlikely that malls are preparing for a spike in feel-better shopping. However, it wouldn’t be unheard of for online retailers to benefit from a wave of panic-induced retail therapy, especially now that our concerns about packages being carriers of the COVID-19 virus have been squashed.
According to a study in the Journal of Consumer Psychology, retail therapy is proven to make people happier, as well as fight sadness and stress, especially in times of uncertainty. The study goes on to suggest that when we’re sad, scared, or feeling as if we have no control over the circumstances around us, shopping is a sensible method of coping, and one that consumers use often. “When life is chaotic, we might go, ‘what’s something I can do?'” Amy Morin, LCSW, a psychotherapist and author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do, says. If perhaps, your preferred answer is shopping for clothes, “it can give you sort of a false sense of control in the moment,” which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Because, according to fashion psychologist and author of Dress Your Best Life: How To Use Fashion Psych To Take Your Look — And Your Life — To The Next Level Dawnn Karen, “It’s psychologically proven that humans like to control things.” Because of that, Karen says that in her professional opinion, there will be an increase in online shopping as a form of stress relief while the pandemic runs its course.
Even if consumers do use shopping as a coping mechanism during the coronavirus outbreak, there’s still the issue of supply. While demand might increase in the form of retail therapy, supply is still struggling to keep up given the number of factories that remain closed in China and around the world and fashion’s dependency on manufacturing in Asia. Beloved fast-fashion retailers like H&M and Zara may be especially vulnerable to the virus, given that the former’s higher quality goods are still manufactured in China and the latter, while only sourcing roughly 10% of their inventory from Asia, has a very high inventory turnaround that puts them at risk when their factories are closed, even if it’s just temporarily, according to Quartz.
Your best bet? Try to shop from small, independent designers — it’ll help them stay afloat, and you’ll get the psychological benefits of retail therapy plus something really cute.

The Long-Term Effects Of Coronavirus On Fashion
R29’s New Loungewear Collection Was Made For Dreaming AND Doing Just About Anything
"The collection started with a seed of desire from our audience, and that seed has really guided us from start to finish," says Christene Barberich, R29 global editor-in-chief, of our new planet-friendly, print-happy loungewear collection, launching today at Nordstrom and later in March at Dillards.com.
"We set out to make a tightly edited collection of chic, adaptable pieces that most women could wear — and feel amazing in — whether you were watching Netflix at home on a Friday or working in your studio. We intentionally chose fabrics that felt luxurious to the touch and fell on the body in a flattering way, so that even if you're actually 'lounging,' you can still feel pulled together and ready for anything. These are pieces to be worn in so many different ways that every woman — no matter her style or shape — can express herself in her own way."
The separates, slip dresses, and robes are all available in sizes XS to 4X, and all items are priced under $70. Ahead, see every piece from the first of our monthly drops — along with some fresh ideas for how to style them for your interior and exterior life.
