They quickly expanded into men's, children's, and home goods collections. NEXT designs their own clothing through an in-house team to provide stylish, high-quality, and fairly priced options with a contemporary look. They operate stores and brands focused on various goods like womenswear, menswear, childrenswear, home items, and more.
