13 Stores That Are So Good You'll Forget All About Your Monthly Zara Haul
It feels like there's a new store opening every day, and while it's hard to decide which ones to trust with your hard-earned dollars, there are quite a few that I know will instantly prompt you to reconsider your habitual Zara haul. Whether you've already heard of these names or they feel like hidden gems, I promise you that giving any of them a try will certainly not disappoint. I say this as a person who has given each and every one of them a spin herself.
From curated boutiques with an artisanal touch to innovative online platforms that prioritize sustainability, each of these stores has something special to offer. After one order from them, the fast-fashion giants will no longer be as amusing as finding something that's just a bit off the beaten path. Say goodbye to the predictable and immerse yourself in the world of these 13 brands.
1. Massimo Dutti
Massimo Dutti is the all-grown-up version of Zara. AtBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , we're obsessed with it. Its pieces feel and look like designer but have a contemporary price point. If you're looking to build a capsule wardrobe with award-winning pieces, this one is for you.
2. Reformation
We all know Reformation for wedding guest dresses, but for me, its wardrobe-staple pieces have been stealing the show. The brand has everything Zara offers, from cozy knits to very flattering jeans, but is sustainable AF.
3. Mango
Mango still feels like Europe's secret, but with new locations popping up all the time in the U.S., I've grown to be quite familiar with its amazing pieces. If you love trendy buys, this one is definitely for you.
4. Pixie Market
This past fashion week, threeBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing editors coincidentally ended up wearing the same Pixie Market top. Now, that's how you know that something is good. The brand has a way of tapping into the trends without giving up its love for great basics, so naturally, I'm obsessed.
5. COS
COS is an often-overlooked high-street store that really has it all. Its modern approach to fashion is a source of excitement unlike any other. Every item I buy from there ends up staying in my closet for quite some time.
6. Aritzia
Aritzia has never failed me in the quality department, and its list of new items is always extensive. If my whole closet were made out of Aritzia, I wouldn't be complaining.
7. Dissh
Dissh is the Australian brand that's captivated the fashion crowd. I can't go on my Instagram feed without noticing someone wearing its items. If you want to add a "Santa Monica cool" element to your wardrobe, start here.
8. Rue Sophie
Minimalist, refined, and quietly expensive-looking, Rue Sophie is where I go for elevated basics that feel considered, not trend-chasing.
9. Sézane
The French-girl favorite that never lets me down, Sézane nails the balance between romantic details and everyday wearability.
10. Revolve
A one-stop shop for what’s current and wearable. Revolve is where I look when I want something trend-forward that still feels polished.
11. Everlane
If your wardrobe philosophy is “fewer, better,” Everlane gets it. Clean lines, thoughtful fabrics, and staples you’ll reach for on repeat.
12. Banana Republic
The glow-up is real. Banana Republic has been delivering tailored, modern pieces that feel grown-up in the best way.
13. J.Crew
Classic but never boring, J.Crew is my go-to for timeless staples with just enough of a fashion twist to keep things interesting.
