Generation Z, Affordable Fashion, Trend-Consciousness, Brand PerceptionAbstract
This study explores the perception of Generation Z towards pocket-friendly, trendy apparel, with a focus on ZUDIO in Ahmedabad. The research aims to understand how various factors such as affordability, trendiness, spending habits, and brand discovery influence Gen Z's fashion choices. Using a chi-square analysis, the study examines the relationship between age and key variables, including how affordability impacts fashion purchases, where Gen Z shops, and how they perceive ZUDIO’s alignment with current fashion trends. The findings suggest that affordability is a key factor across all age groups within Gen Z, with a weak relationship between age and other factors such as shopping location and monthly spending. Trend consciousness, however, appears to vary slightly with age, indicating that older segments within Gen Z may prioritize fashion trends more. The study also highlights the importance of word-of-mouth marketing and the consistent association of ZUDIO with affordable pricing. The practical implications for retailers include the need to maintain a balance between affordability and trendiness while focusing on digital marketing and customer engagement strategies. Future research is recommended to explore sustainability concerns, cross-cultural comparisons, and the role of technology in Gen Z’s shopping experiences
