Walmart's No Boundaries Relaunch: Revamped for Gen Z
Walmart rejuvenates clothing line to attract Generation Z shoppers
Walmart's biggest private label, "No Boundaries," is getting a revamp aimed squarely at the young Gen Z crowd. Set to launch both in stores and online on July 16, the retail giant's latest offering includes a revamped line of clothing, shoes, and accessories for women, men, and even accessories.
The revamped No Boundaries promises a more inclusive fit, with sizes ranging from XXS to 5X for women and XS to 3X for men. Key items like crop tees, short-shorts, shirttail dresses, and graphic tees will be priced at an accessible $5, with 80% of the assortment available for under $15.
Walmart's Designer Shift
For the first time, Walmart has employed dedicated fashion designers to create products tailored for the Gen Z market. This approach marks a significant shift in how Walmart approaches the fashion industry, aiming to cater directly to the Gen Z market.
A Trend Towards Private Labels
In a frugal world, where consumers carefully consider spending on discretionary purchases like clothing, private label brands have gained prominence. Retail giants such as Macy's, Stitch Fix, Dillard's, and of course, Target, have all aggressively pursued the private label fashion market. Last year, private label sales grew by 6%, reaching a staggering $210 billion.
Walmart's Focus: Casual and Affordable
With Jen Jackson Brown, a former Nordstrom executive, leading the charge, Walmart is hoping the No Boundaries relaunch will help bolster its apparel sales and attract younger shoppers. The latest line offers a range of casual, affordable clothing, including baggy jeans, drop-shoulder tops, cropped tees, and oversized sweat sets. The materials will include stretch fabrics, power mesh, fleece, and denim.
A first for No Boundaries will be a sleepwear line, with some bras featuring plant-based pads made from sugarcane. Walmart's emphasis this time around is on casual style and affordability.
This new No Boundaries line represents another effort by Walmart to gain a foothold in the fashion apparel world. Past attempts, like the introduction of several private labels in 2018 and subsequent acquisitions of brands like Bonobos, Eloquii, and Modcloth, have had mixed results.
By focusing on casual, affordable clothing, Walmart hopes to stand out in a crowded market and create a line that resonates with Gen Z shoppers. As the competition heats up in the fashion apparel industry, Walmart's No Boundaries relaunch could be a crucial move for the retail giant's efforts to attract younger shoppers and boost its bottom line.
