Aeropostale, Inc. (ARO), Fifth & Pacific Companies Inc (FNP) & More: Three Hot Retailers for the Best Spring Styles in 2013

Peek-a-boo
Finally, expect to see a whole bunch of people running around in sheer layers and dresses with cutout sections in them. This trend has already been gaining steam, and the spring is just going to see it expand. As usual, Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE:ANF) is happy to swoop in when the recipe for success includes baring more skin. A good spring would be great for the company, which is looking to keep up the momentum it gained last quarter, when it hit its highest quarterly sales ever, $1.5 billion. Of all the brands mentioned here, Abercrombie might be the best one to take a second look at.

Last quarter, comparable sales at Abercombie’s main brand stores finally leveled out. The quarter before, sales had fallen 4%. By cutting back the bleeding, Abercrombie has shown that it’s finally getting back in tune with trends that consumers are looking for.

While all of the companies I’ve covered here have plans to be fashionable this year, actually doing so might mean the most for Abercrombie. On top of its potential turnaround, Abercrombie is also priced to buy, with a P/E of 16, which is below the industry average. If I were going to take a bet on spring, I’d bet on Abercrombie. Now all we need is some warm weather.
