A South African TikToker known as Snatched_by_Lwandie gave her followers a budget fashion moment on 17 August 2026. She posted a video pointing out formal pants she had picked up at PEP, with the price tag showing they had been marked down.

The clip was filmed at home using a phone on a tripod, keeping things relaxed and unfiltered. She mentioned having posted about the pants before and only later noticed the markdown, which she then shared with her audience.

PEP pants that started a conversation

The video struck a chord because formal workwear at an accessible price is something many South Africans are actively looking for. PEP is one of the country's most widely shopped clothing retailers, known for offering affordable basics, and a markdown on formal pants there is exactly the kind of find that travels fast on social media.
