You can check out indie brands selling indie clothes that are way cheaper and way cooler than branded clothes, and the best part is, for most of the stores, you can buy them right of Instagram. For the stores where you can’t buy the clothes that you see right from your feed, they usually have a link attached in their bio, and you can take your pick from their online store.
Clothes are all about finding your voice through your appearance, and you should constantly be looking for new, innovative ways to express yourself through the way you look. Instead of going mainstream, and doing what everyone does for the sake of being “on trend”, you should explore, take time out and search for things that make you feel like YOU and not someone else. That is the whole point of independent clothing- that it makes you feel free, fierce and fabulous! Happy shopping, dearies.
