If you love Zara and are continuously refreshing their ‘new in’ section, well same… but it is always nice to have options! There are actually tonnes of other on-trend retailers that are just as stylish and affordable as Zara. Dare I say it, some may even be better. Especially when it comes to sustainability. So, if you fancy a change, or are simply sick of seeing your latest Zara find all over everyone else on Instagram, then here are 10 other brands you definitely should know about…
The Frankie Shop

If you’re a fan of Zara’s tailoring (and let’s face it, who isn’t), then it is worthwhile having The Frankie Shop on your radar. Their blazes may come at a higher price point, but the quality is second to none. They also offer stunning faux leather pieces which will make you look like you’re heading straight to the front row at fashion week.
Mango

The retailer that most closely resembles Zara; Mango, offers chic and trendy pieces for women and men. I am particularly fond of their handbags, but you’ll be able to find anything in Mango from smart blazers to floaty summer dresses.
Reformation

Reformation started out by selling vintage clothing in a small store in LA in 2009. They quickly expanded, but continue to strive to be as environmentally friendly as possible. For each item on their website, Reformation provides a calculation of the item’s sustainability impact – helping you to feel better about shopping. Reformation sells everything from dresses to jeans, sweaters to boots and all clothing is designed to be flattering and comfortable.
Sezane

If you love French style then Sezane is one for you. The Parisian label, founded in 2013, is an affordable clothing brand, that makes quality pieces that don’t look like they should be affordable. Even better, Sezane doesn’t overproduce to ensure minimal waste.

Another popular retailer offering stylish womenswear. Artizia is a go-to for everyday basics and casual wear. There’s a reason why it is loved by celebrities from Kendall Jenner to Megan Fox and that is because Aritzia focuses on creating pieces with high-quality materials with unique designs.

If you’re a minimalist dresser then listen up. Zara’s sister brand Massimo Dutti is a one-stop shop for all your chic and minimal pieces. The brand’s signature is muted tones, which ultimately is a wardrobe staple. From gorgeous silk shirts to classic blazers, Massimo Dutti pieces are guaranteed to be in your wardrobe for a long time.

Another great climate-positive brand! OMNES prioritise natural, recycled and recyclable materials in their collections, all the while proving that shopping sustainably doesn’t have to cost the earth. OMNES are particularly good at silk slip dresses in bold colours and prints. So, if that is your thing, definitely check them out.
& Other Stories

Just like Zara, & Other Stories carries lovely basics as well as more on-trend pieces. The quality is also amazing for the price point. In addition, & Other Stories’ collection of bath and body scrubs are to-die-for. Perle de Coco is a personal favourite.
