Walmart in $2 billion refresh of private fashion brand for Gen Z

Must read

Walmart is overhauling its No Boundaries private label brand.

Walmart is squarely targeting young consumers with the revamping of its No Boundaries private label assortment of fashion items.

The discount giant is undertaking what it calls a $2 billion “reimagining” of its No Boundaries young adult fashion brand with new fabrication, shapes and styles – but the same prices – timed for the back-to-school and back-to-college shopping season.

Walmart hired a design team it says has “years of experience” in creating products for Gen Z customers, marking the first time Walmart has dedicated fashion designers to the No Boundaries brand.

Launching in Walmart stores and on the discounter’s e-commerce site Tuesday, July 16, the new No Boundaries line features 130 pieces that span women’s clothing and intimates, men’s clothing, shoes and accessories. 

Style highlights include what Walmart calls “new modern shapes” like baggy fit jeans, drop shoulders, cropped tees and oversized sweat sets, as well as new fabrics like seamless stretch, power mesh, lux fleece and authentic denim fabrics. 

No Boundaries will also feature its first-ever sleepwear line and the first-ever plant-based bra pad made from over 75% sugarcane in select top-selling bra styles. Walmart will offer 80% of the assortment for retail price of less than $15, including a number of pieces for $5, including crop and graphic tees, short-shorts, and shirttail dresses.

Walmart also extended the fit of the No Boundaries line to be more inclusive, ranging from XXS to 5X in young women’s and XS to 3X in young men’s.
