Case Study: How Aerie won Gen Z and Victoria's Secret's market
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
Aerie is one of the first lingerie brands to successfully challenge Victoria’s Secret’s category dominance. Victoria’s Secret’s size-0, bombshell look, which for decades drove sales of push-up bras and marketing focused on looking sexy for him, has fallen out of favor. That’s thanks to a new generation that prioritizes comfort, inclusivity and feeling sexy in their own bodies. And in 2021, Aerie is No. 2 in bra sales, just behind Victoria’s Secret and ahead of DTC brand ThirdLove, according to the NPD Group.
