We all have different clothing brands we flock towards… what are yours and why?

I’m an alt girl, so I own most of the blouses hell bunny does. Recently my weight goes to my stomach so I’ve got really into dresses from disturbia and killstar. The quality is great, I can make them look pretty mainstream for a formal setting or alt them up for lunch with friends.

Knitwear I’ve recently discovered weird fish which has loads of great quality plain knitwear. All these brands wash well, and have frequent sales and discount days!

    Thank you for for suggestions, I love word-of-mouth where someone can actually vet for the quality.

    My only go-to is Comfrt for hoodies and sweatpants. They also have this super soft cloud blanket that my dogs stole from me.

      Yep, often you buy things and the quality is awful and/or the sizing is bizarre. Funnily enough I used to have a blanket for the sofa but the cats claimed it as theirs… if they weren’t so adorable I’d be annoyed!

        Same, if my dogs weren’t certified cutie-pattoties, I’d be mad. But they fell in love with that blanket and will basically follow me when I take it to the washer and stare at me with those “we’re getting that back, right?” eyes.

    I used to care a lot more about what I wore - I had a grunge punk thing going on. Lots of plaid flannel with torn up jeans, a wallet chain, Doc Martens, and a punk band patch battle jacket. Now I mostly live in plain black leggings and a dark gray tee, because I’m mostly at home and it’s just easier to work out, do housework, etc in that kind of clothing. I get my leggings from Rep Fitness and my t-shirts from Amazon.

    I do still wear jeans and plaid flannels a lot when I go out. Jeans are hard because my body is a weird shape due to weightlifting. I’ve always had a big butt and thighs, but now they’re swole so jeans never fit right. If they fit in the butt and thighs, they’re enormous in the waist, with a big gap in the back, and constantly sliding down. Plus I’m 5’0" with a short torso so usually low-rise fit the best, but those are hard to find (I think high-rise is more popular right now?). Currently I get jeans from American Eagle but they’re not a great fit. I’d love to find jeans that fit my body and don’t make me look dumpy!

    I took a look at the sites you linked, and they look awesome - they definitely have things that are right up my alley! Have you checked out BlackMilk? You might like some of their stuff!
