Hosiery in the United Arab Emirates

Hosiery suffered from a lack of price competition at the end of the review period. Most retailers do not regard hosiery as a key element of their ranges and thus did not use discounts or price promotions on these products in order to attract consumers into their stores. As a result, hosiery was largely ignored by many consumers, with the hot weather in the country resulting in many consumers opting to wear sandals without socks or tights.
