Urban Outfitters' Nuuly adds AI styling and menswear as fashion rental market heads toward $9.18B by 2035

Urban Outfitters' rental subsidiary Nuuly has expanded with an AI-powered styling tool, broader menswear range and partnerships with emerging designers offering over 50 monthly swaps. The move comes as Custom Market Insights projects the global fashion rental market could reach $9.18 billion by 2035. Nuuly recently launched an in-store returns programme at Urban Outfitters locations, linking the rental platform more closely with the core retail footprint. The expansion targets Millennial and Gen Z preferences for sustainable, flexible wardrobes. Urban Outfitters' investment narrative projects $7.5 billion revenue and $563.2 million earnings by 2029, requiring 6.8% annual revenue growth. However, analysts note that rising tariffs and higher operating costs could pressure margins, offsetting potential gains from Nuuly's recurring rental income.
