Dupe culture enables luxury style access while spending smart
Trend - Retailers and brands are embracing dupe culture as consumers seek affordable alternatives to luxury across beauty and fashion; driving demand for products that mirror high-end aesthetics, formulations, and design—from makeup to apparel—at more accessible price points.
Insight — Gen Z and Millennials are redefining consumption by treating frugality as empowerment, using dupes to balance aspiration with financial caution. In uncertain economic conditions, they still seek self-expression and small luxuries without the risk of overspending. As such, dupe-driven shopping can enable experimentation and flexibility, letting consumers engage with high-end aesthetics while maintaining control over budgets.
Workshop Question — How could your brand support consumers in balancing aspiration with value-driven, intentional spending?
