Client mentions of weight loss in styling requests tripled over two years and surged 75% year-over-year in latest quarter
Company targets GLP-1 users and divorced men as people in wardrobe transition moments, moving away from traditional demographic targeting

Stitch Fix is abandoning traditional fashion demographics for a bet on life transitions. The personal styling service now actively targets people using GLP-1 weight loss drugs and newly divorced men as part of a strategic shift toward moments of wardrobe change.

The company delivered strong second quarter results with net revenue of $341.3 million, an increase of 9.4% year-over-year. This marked the fourth consecutive quarter of revenue growth for the struggling retailer.

CEO Matt Baer said the company is “getting exceptionally good at targeting smaller, very specific segments of clients.” He cited GLP-1 users as a prime example, noting someone going through body transformation “needs to overhaul their wardrobe” and requires “help finding styles and fits that work at every stage.”

The GLP-1 strategy targets a growing market. Nearly 12% of Americans have used GLP-1 drugs for weight loss, according to a 2025 RAND report. Usage peaks among women aged 50-64. Client mentions of weight loss in Fix request notes tripled over the past two years.

For divorced men, Stitch Fix identified a different opportunity. About 80% of items in a man’s closet were purchased by someone else, according to the company. When that changes, “they often don’t have the capability or the history to shop for themselves,” while caring more about appearance as they enter dating.

The targeting strategy comes alongside major technology investments. Stitch Fix rebuilt much of its experience around AI over 18 months. A new feature lets users see themselves in styled outfits generated from their data. Customers who use this feature see sales jump 100% over 90 days, with 75% returning to it in subsequent months.

Net revenue per active client rose 7.4% to $577, though total active clients fell 3.5% to 2.288 million. The company raised its full-year revenue outlook to $1.33 billion to $1.35 billion.

Stitch Fix outperformed the broader U.S. apparel market, which contracted 0.5% in the same period according to Circana data. The company generated $15.9 million in adjusted EBITDA and ended the quarter with $240.5 million in cash and no debt.
