Like 2022 as a whole, the last trading day of the year gave up early gains to finish in the red, proving to be the worst environment for stocks since 2008. The worst of the major U.S. stock indexes was the tech-heavy NASDAQ, down -33% for the year.
Inflation remained stickier than many expected, forcing the Federal Reserve to kick off its most aggressive interest-rate increases in decades. Russia’s war in Ukraine and the subsequent scrambling of energy markets caught investors off guard, and the specter of a global recession loomed.

Plus, on the fashion front, Christine Fellingham, former editor at Glamour and O: The Oprah Magazine, writes that the sustainability movement has created a desire for the natural, authentic, and imperfect as opposed to the starched-and-pressed look, therefore, bolstering the argument for steamers.
