AI-Powered Trendspotting for Clothing Inventory Using Python

Identify Emerging Fashion Trends with Machine Learning Models

Fashion retailers can leverage Python and machine learning to analyze historical sales data, social media trends, and market insights to identify emerging fashion trends. By implementing machine learning models, stores can predict upcoming styles and colors, enabling them to make informed inventory decisions and ensure they are always stocked with the latest trends.

Code Example:

import pandas as pd
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score

# Sample historical fashion data
data = pd.DataFrame({
    'style': ['casual', 'formal', 'sportswear', 'casual', 'formal'],
    'color': ['red', 'blue', 'green', 'red', 'green'],
    'season': ['summer', 'winter', 'summer', 'summer', 'winter'],
    'sales': [200, 300, 150, 180, 220]  # Number of items sold
})

# Prepare data for machine learning model
X = data[['style', 'color', 'season']]  # Features
y = data['sales']  # Target variable: sales volume

# Convert categorical variables into dummy/indicator variables
X = pd.get_dummies(X)

# Split the data into training and testing sets
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

# Initialize and train the model
model = RandomForestClassifier()
model.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Make predictions on the test set
y_pred = model.predict(X_test)

# Evaluate the model's accuracy
accuracy = accuracy_score(y_test, y_pred)
print(f"Trend prediction model accuracy: {accuracy * 100:.2f}%")

This machine learning model analyzes various features like style, color, and season to predict sales volumes for different types of clothing. The output will help clothing retailers identify which products are likely to trend in the future.

Automatically Adjust Stock Based on Predicted Trends

Once the machine learning model is in place, the next step is to automate stock adjustments based on predicted trends. Python can be used to automatically update inventory quantities, ensuring that stores always have the right amount of stock to meet demand, without overstocking or stockouts.

Code Example:

# Sample stock data
inventory_data = {
    'item': ['T-shirt', 'Jacket', 'Sneakers', 'Jeans', 'Sweater'],
    'predicted_sales': [120, 80, 200, 150, 90],  # Predicted sales based on trends
    'current_stock': [100, 50, 150, 130, 110]
}

inventory_df = pd.DataFrame(inventory_data)

# Adjust stock based on predicted sales
inventory_df['adjusted_stock'] = inventory_df['predicted_sales'] - inventory_df['current_stock']

# Print recommended stock adjustments
print(inventory_df[['item', 'adjusted_stock']])

This stock adjustment script helps retailers make data-driven decisions by showing the difference between predicted sales and current stock levels, allowing them to automate replenishment orders.
