Gen Z refers to people born between 1997 and 2012, which means the generation includes both middle schoolers and people pushing 30. While younger Gen Zers may still be hiding their phones in math class and wishing their braces were off yesterday, older members are setting up lives as adults. As one of our Gen Z colleagues put it, “We’re finally realizing it’s probably time to start cooking.”
The younger sect will probably respond to special finds from trendy brands, while the middle of the generation might appreciate some fancy upgrades to their basics. And thirty-somethings will like grown-up finds that still feel cool.
