April was probably the worst month in retail memory. Physical stores around the world were forced to remain closed during the month. Even e-commerce faced challenges. Apparel sales fell on average of 50 percent year-on-year in most major markets. Yet some products were selling. April sales was all about basics. However while some value items were strong sellers, a few slightly more expensive items also made the 'bestsellers' list. In both Germany and the U.S., men's bestsellers saw much bigger sales (in terms of revenue) than women's did. Here is an analysis of Amazon's April sales for 'clothing' highlighting the bestsellers in the U.S. and Germany. <h3><strong>Apparel Bestsellers</strong></h3> <strong>USA - Women</strong> <strong>#1</strong> Amazon Essentials 2-Pack Classic Fit Short-Sleeve V-Neck T-Shirt Pieces sold (in April): 38,315 Price: $16 Revenue (in April): $613,040 <strong>#2</strong> Amazon Essentials 2-Pack Classic Fit Short-Sleeve Crew-Neck T-Shirt Pieces sold (in April): 25,728 Price: $16 Revenue (in April): $411,648 <strong>#3</strong> Hanes Women's Nano T-Shirt Pieces sold (in April): 34,746 Price: $11.70 Revenue (in April): $406,528 <strong>#4</strong> YunJey Round Neck Triple Color Block Stripe T-Shirt Pieces sold (in April): 19,160 Price: $16.99 Revenue (in April): $325,528 <strong>#5</strong> SAMPEEL V Neck T Shirt Rolled Sleeve Side Split Tunic Tops Pieces sold (in April): 14,560 Price: $20.99 Revenue (in April): $306,614 <strong>#6</strong> [swpm_protected] Hanes Women's Jersey Full Zip Hoodie Pieces sold (in April): 11,693 Price: $18.88 Revenue (in April): $220,764 <strong>USA - Men</strong> <strong>#1</strong> Carhartt K87 Workwear Pocket Short Sleeve T-Shirt (Regular and Big & Tall Sizes) Pieces sold (in April): 77,843 Price: $16.99 Revenue (in April): $1,322,553 <strong>#2</strong> Gildan Crew T-Shirt Multipack Pieces sold (in April): 56,315 Price: $9.00 Revenue (in April): $506,835 <strong>#3</strong> Hanes ComfortSoft Short Sleeve T-Shirt (4 Pack ) Pieces sold (in April): 24,705 Price: $19.95 Revenue (in April): $492,865 <strong>#4</strong> Gildan Ultra Cotton Adult Long Sleeve T-Shirt 2-Pack Pieces sold (in April): 24,949 Price: $18.30 Revenue (in April): $456,567 <strong>#5</strong> Carhartt Workwear Pocket Henley Shirt (Regular and Big & Tall Sizes) Pieces sold (in April): 8,453 Price: $24.99 Revenue (in April): $211,240 <strong>GERMANY - Women</strong> <strong>#1</strong> Levi's The Perfect Tee Pieces sold (in April): 3,978 Price: € 21.15 Revenue: € 84,135 <strong>#2</strong> AMORETU Tunic style t-shirt Pieces sold (in April): 3,761 Price: € 17.99 Revenue (in April): € 67,660 <strong>#3</strong> ONLY 3-pack, basic tank top for summer Pieces sold (in April): 1,998 Price: € 27.90 Revenue (in April): € 55,744 <strong>#4</strong> Tommy Hilfiger Heritage Crew Neck Graphic Tee T-Shirt Pieces sold (in April): 1,675 Price: € 29.90 Revenue (in April): € 50,083 <strong>#5</strong> Amazon Essentials 2-Pack Short-Sleeve Crewneck Patterned T-Shirt Pieces sold in April: 2,430 Price: € 18.49 Revenue (in April): € 44,931 <h3> </h3> <h3><strong>GERMANY - Men</strong></h3> <strong>#1</strong> Lower East round neck t-shirt Pieces sold (in April): 5,300 Price: € 28.95 Revenue (in April): € 153,435 <strong>#2</strong> Gildan Hoodie Pieces sold (in April): 9,180 Price: € 15.90 Revenue (in April): € 145,962 <strong>#3</strong> Charles Wilson 5-pack round-neck t-shirts Pieces sold (in April): 3,474 Price: € 31.95 Revenue (in April): € 110,994 <strong>#4</strong> BOSS 3-pack cotton t-shirts Pieces sold (in April): 2,748 Price: € 39.11 Revenue (in April): € 107,474 <strong>#5</strong> Full Time Sports multi-pack round-neck casual t-shirts Pieces sold (in April): 2,970 Price: € 32.99 Revenue (in April): € 97,980 <strong>#5</strong> s.
