href=\"https:\/\/direct.asda.com\/george\/clothing\/10,default,sc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">George at Asda<\/a> is strengthening its menswear offer as the supermarket fashion market continues to take share from traditional high street retailers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"229\" data-end=\"423\">It said menswear remains a major growth area for the business, with year-on-year sales uplifts running ahead of the wider market as shoppers seek more affordable and versatile fashion.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"425\" data-end=\"598\">George is responding with a sharper focus on style-led collections at competitive prices, with its latest Studio Edit menswear range designed around modern wardrobe staples.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"600\" data-end=\"753\">The collection includes casualwear and seasonal essentials, with updated silhouettes, textured fabrics, improved fits and more refined finishing details.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"755\" data-end=\"896\">The supermarket fashion brand said the range has been developed to meet rising demand for everyday pieces with a more elevated look and feel.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"898\" data-end=\"997\">George is also investing in its retail experience as it looks to build on momentum in the category.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1190\">Following the launch of standalone concept stores in Leeds and Hull, which it said are delivering consistent double-digit growth, the brand is set to transform a further 10 locations in 2026.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1192\" data-end=\"1372\">The retailer is also improving its digital shopping experience, with clearer outfit options and more editorial-style imagery designed to drive conversion and increase basket spend.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1374\" data-end=\"1510\">George said menswear is playing an increasingly important role in attracting new customers to the brand and supporting long-term growth.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1512\" data-end=\"1731\">George menswear and kidswear senior director for buying, design and quality Glenda Hansford said: \u201cMenswear is a standout category for us, delivering strong growth as more customers turn to George for style and quality.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1733\" data-end=\"1896\">\u201cOur focus is on continuing to elevate the offer, through improved fits, more considered design, and a better overall shopping experience both in-store and online.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1898\" data-end=\"2051\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">\u201cAs we invest further in the category, we see a significant opportunity to
