But I can genuinely say I had an incredible time. I loved being out there.

The way young shoppers find, judge and buy clothes is being rebuilt in real time. For many Gen Z shoppers, fashion discovery doesn’t start on a retailer’s search bar anymore. It starts on a phone, inside a video, next to a creator who is already wearing the thing. Shoppable livestreams sit at the center of that shift.

How Gen Z Fashion Discovery Moved Onto Social Feeds You don’t always have to type product names into a store search. You’re finding fits through creators, styling clips and reels. TikTok’s Fashion 2024 research highlights creators, styling inspiration and people actually wearing brands as central to the fashion-discovery journey. TikTok says creators build trust and awareness by showing products in real-life settings. Shoppers can see how a piece actually looks and how it c...
