Gilly Hicks is an apparel brand owned by Abercrombie & Fitch Co. It specializes in intimates, loungewear, and activewear. The core aesthetic emphasizes comfort and inclusivity. The brand represents a lifestyle focused on mental well-being and gender-neutral design within the contemporary casual wear subculture.

History

Abercrombie & Fitch Co. launched Gilly Hicks in 2008 as a lingerie brand with an Australian-inspired theme. It originally operated as a standalone retail chain before closing its physical storefronts in 2013. The brand subsequently integrated into Hollister locations. In 2021, it underwent a rebranding to focus on gender-inclusive products and activewear. This transition reflects industry-wide shifts toward diversity and the growth of the loungewear sector in contemporary fashion.
