TikTok Fashion Accessories Trends in April 2025: Sales, Strategy, and Product Insights
TikTok’s fashion accessories category is heating up in 2025—and April’s data shows a shift in how sellers are winning.
Backed by insights from the April Gloda Market Guide, this article explores GMV growth patterns, top-performing pricing zones, shop strategies, and viral product formats. Most importantly, we outline how sellers can pivot to win in May and beyond.
1. Platform Snapshot: Growth Driven by Volume, Not Price
In April, TikTok Shop’s fashion accessories vertical posted strong growth:
● Units Sold: 3.3M (+59.24%)
● GMV: $58.1M (+46.92%)
● AOV: $17.6 (-7.73%)
● Videos Published: 21.2K (+13.37%)
● LIVE Sessions: 5K (+3.70%)
The key takeaway? Sales surged, but through lower-priced, high-velocity products. The drop in AOV suggests increased promotional activity and price-sensitive demand, but creators and content strategies are scaling up to compensate.
🔍 Actionable Tip: In May, double down on content velocity and test 2–3 price points under $20 with clear visual payoff. Tie promotions to creator trends—not just discounts.
2. Price Bands: Two Extremes Are Winning
April saw strong performance in both low-end and premium segments:
● Under $5: 1.5M units sold
● Over $100: 131K units sold, $18.2M GMV
At the same time, the $10–$20 range remained the volume core with:
● 680K units sold
● $10M GMV
● 246.5K creators
● 4.2K active shops
This signals three viable strategies for sellers:
1. Micro-priced items (<$5) to drive content virality and new customer entry
2. Mid-priced bundles ($10–$20) for scalable conversion
3. Premium-tier hero products ($100+) to anchor brand credibility and AOV
🔍 For May: Choose one track and go deep—either test under-$5 impulse items with creator seeding or focus on bundling 2-for deals in the $15–$25 zone to lift cart value.
3. Shop Strategies: Brand Focus Beats SKU Spamming
Top sellers like OQ Hair Shop ($2.9M GMV) and Luvmehair ($1.1M GMV) outperformed thanks to:
● Tight SKU focus (1–3 hero products)
● Consistent creator collaborations
● Strong visual brand identity
Meanwhile, high-SKU shops struggled to convert despite volume.
🎯 Key Insight: TikTok Shop now rewards depth, not breadth. In May, sellers should identify 1–2 best-selling SKUs and rotate multiple content angles around them instead of listing wide.
4. Viral Product Traits: Visual + Function = Gold
Top-converting products in April shared three things:
● Strong visual triggers (textures, shapes, transformation moments)
● Functional appeal (wearability, problem-solving, versatility)
● High creator participation (hundreds of videos per product)
Examples include:
● Handmade bunny pouches: 639 creators, $425.2K GMV
● Shell-pattern sunglasses: <$8 item with viral lookbook potential
● Probiotic gummies (functional accessory crossover): $270.4K GMV
🔍 For May: Focus on products that can be demonstrated in 3 seconds. Think “poppable,” “transformable,” or “giftable.” Utility alone isn’t enough—the visual hook must come first.
5. Content Momentum: Creators Drive Everything
With over 21K videos and 5K live sessions, TikTok’s accessory space is now fully creator-led. But just posting isn't enough—format and intent matter.
✅ Winning formats include:
● Try-on montages with voiceover hooks
● POV / “day in my life” showcasing accessories
● Before/after comparisons (e.g., with/without the item)
● LIVE bundles with countdown urgency
🔍 For May: Don’t just push volume. Create a 3-week content calendar for each SKU featuring 2 creator collabs, 1 UGC-style edit, and 1 LIVE test. Optimize for consistency over randomness.
Final Thoughts: Build for the Long Game
April proves that TikTok accessories are no longer about discount wars or SKU inflation. The path to growth is clear:
● Go deeper on fewer SKUs
● Partner smarter with creators
● Design for virality through visuals, not just price
● Use Gloda data weekly to monitor performance shifts
As consumer attention tightens, strategy matters more than ever.
