They're just as affordable too.
Don't get us wrong; we love H&M, Zara, Mango and Topshop as much as the next girl but in there lies the problem.
These brands have become known for cult items meaning anyone who is anyone will be wearing the latest 'it' item and while we're very much into hopping on the bandwagon, there's an argument to be had for originality.
There's a certain thrill in finding lesser-known brands that are not only affordable but stylish too. It's the perfect antidote to the cookie-cutter aesthetics that come from when everyone shops at the same three stores.
