The Outnet announced today the launch of its menswear shopping experience in the United States. Part of YOOX NET-A-PORTER, the luxury discount shopping site offers more than 350 designer fashion brands at up to 70% off. The U.S. launch follows a successful launch this March in the United Kingdom, as well as the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions.

The U.S. experience includes a dedicated menswear homepage, as well as focused editorial and marketing campaigns. Available categories will mirror the womenswear site, providing a full product offering. In conjunction with the launch, The Outnet’s resale service will add the option to resell menswear in exchange for store credit with an extra 10% incentive or direct bank transfer once sold.

Since its launch in 2009, The Outnet has built strong relationships with leading luxury brands, offering a strong roster of designer womenswear labels, and presenting a unique past-season assortment. Extending its buying strategy to its menswear offering, the site provides a curated edit from established brand partners complemented by new brands including Canali and Officine Generale.  (On Tuesday, the site included products from Acne Studios, Burberry, Fred Perry, Ermenegildo Zegna, and Z Zegna, among others. ) Catering to a global audience with a local approach, launching menswear in the U.S is an exciting step and a natural progression in brand strategy supporting gr.owth and new customer acquisition across its key markets worldwide.

We’re thrilled to launch menswear just in time for the summer season.”
