Over the years, I have dipped my toe into all different kinds of fashion. Whether it is fast fashion, high-street, mid-tier and the highest of high ends. As somebody that loves fashion through and through, I thought it was only right that I get my hands on some different items and put them to the test for myself.
With that said, I have recently found a range of stores which are high street to mid-tier that align really well with my style, they have fantastic pieces, and they look truly fantastic. With that said, I want to share with you my current favourite stores and some of the reasons why I love them so much.
All Saints.
Without a doubt, I needed to mention this brand first. For as long as I can remember, All Saints has been a brand that I adore. Not only do they make amazing pieces, but they also make a line of clothing that always matches my style. If I have to round up my style, it is chic grunge. Because of that, I feel like I could completely kit my closet out with pieces that were solely from All Saints. The items always seem to hit the spot.
Â
Kos.
I don’t know if you guys are much more knowledgeable than myself, but Kos was one of those brands that just seemed to get huge out of nowhere. All of a sudden I was seeing countless people talking about this brand and there was no denying that the items that were being displayed were truly beautiful. It piqued my interest and before I knew it, I was investing and I couldn’t be happier with the quality of the items that I had purchased.
Â
Arket.
This is a brand similar to the above-mentioned Kos. I had heard certain influencers talking about the brand, but in my head, they were an astronomically priced brand. It wasn’t until I spent some time looking into the pieces that I realised that they were incredibly reasonable, as well as suiting my style. Since initially falling in love with this brand, there have been so many pieces that I have added to my collection, and I know I’m not going to slow down any time soon.
Â
And Other Stories.
Over the last few months, I have really fallen for And Other Stories. Especially when it comes to their selection of tailoring and dresses. For a long time, I wasn’t really finding the dresses that I was envisaging with the other brands that I have mentioned in this post. However, after quickly browsing the And Other Stories I saw so many stunning items that I wanted to add to my collection. Nowadays if you see me wearing a dress, the chances are that it’s going to be And Other Stories.
Â
Mango.
Over the years, I have fallen in and out of love with Mango. But then again, I think that seems to be the trend with most high-street stores. They seem to go through a wave where they have a few incredible collections, then for months there will be a lull where I’m not particularly taken with any specific item. However, I find that when Mango hits the nail on the head, they do so incredibly well. So many key items in my closet are from Mango.
Â
Zara.
For the longest time, I tried to give Zara the swerve. Even though there was no denying that some of the pieces were instant classics, I often question the ethics of the business. They are not known for their best practices, and you often have to wonder how they can mass produce so many incredibly cheap items of clothing. However, with that said, if I ever need a low price basic, it tends to be Zara that I find myself visiting.
As always, I hope you guys enjoyed this post and learning more about some of my current favourite fashion stores. I have loved the items in my closet from these places recently and I know that I will continue to invest in many new items as the years tick by. The quality, the price point and the style of the items is truly fantastic and something that I can align perfectly to.
I want to hear from you guys in the comments below. What are some of your favourite high-street stores and why do you like shopping there?
I always thought the same about Arket! I’ll have to check them out, I’ve also heard good things about them!
