Competition
Athleisurewear has replaced jeans for many. Though the trend began before COVID, it continues to prosper as evidenced by the dramatic growth of Alo, Athletica and omnipresent Lululemon, together with the household name athletic wear brands and the smaller boutique luxury labels. Spanx, on the other hand, has made great strides in the related shapewear category.
Growth & Expansion
Without limiting itself to fall within any strictly defined category, this brand can take-on the majors in each segment with its trendy styles and premium offerings. It has positioned itself to pivot in any direction that market demand dictates. A brand marketing-oriented operator can take this opportunity in any number of directions. The options range from striving for greater line depth in each of its existing categories, to volume production and distribution via not only its big-box retailer but also through the ever-popular discount channels, to private label or to even non-athleisure wear lifestyle related product extensions in complementary apparel categories and beyond.
