Generations

Gen Z delivers the SHEIN hauls

SHEIN is mostly known for its inexpensive apparel, always offering the latest fashion trends. Considering this, our generational comparison of SHEIN’s brand KPIs may not be surprising. The younger the online fashion shoppers in the U.S., the more likely they are to be aware of, have a positive perception of, and engage with SHEIN in media and advertising. Gen Z is the most relevant consumer group for the brand, far ahead of the other generations.

Life values

Success is more important to SHEIN customers

SHEIN consumers value an honest and respectable life to an equal extent as non-users of the brand and the general population in the United States. About half of the respondents consider it one of the three most significant aspects of life. However, their drive for success and a happy relationship surpasses other priorities, securing them the top spot in our ranking. On the other hand, traditions, learning new things, and having a good time hold lesser importance in the lives of U.S. SHEIN shoppers, compared to non-users of the brand.
