I went shopping at GU to see why it's become popular among Gen Zers.
  • GU is a fast-fashion brand targeting Gen Z with stylish, affordable clothing.
  • The brand's first store opened in New York City last fall. 
  • I visited the store and found some of the trendier pieces, like cargo pants, quite approachable.

GU is one of the latest cool-kid brands, carrying the trendy cargo pants and cropped tops beloved by Gen Z.
