You’ll probably NEVER guess my favorite clothing brand & place to shop. You’ll never be able to guess because I only recently discovered it & claimed it as my favorite – now I’m sharing the deets.
Last time I was in Dubai, it was the Dubai Shopping Festival. Which means: SALES. EVERYWHERE. There couldn’t be more glorious news for me to hear.
The Dubai Mall has SO many amazing stores, but lucky for me I stumbled into & Other Stories. I’m telling you, everything. And I mean literally everything – was perfect. The range of styles, the customer service, the gorgeous dressing rooms, the fabrics, the pricing, the smells, the fucking lighting. SPOT ON. I grabbed a stack of clothes, as one does when they step in a new store not knowing sizing, and every single item fit like a glove. The experience was magical. Don’t tell me that wouldn’t tickle your pickle.
The only issue? I tried on way more than I was expecting to actually buy, assuming something wouldn’t fit or I wouldn’t like it. But when everything fits so perfectly… you have to buy it all! Right?
Here’s the deal, not only do the pieces fit perfectly. The fabrics & quality are incredible. A simple T-Shirt has quality & detail like no other. At a decent price.
Also, prior to my trip I was willing to spend hundreds/thousands/millions of dollars on a new pair of jeans because I could NOT find any that I loved at an affordable price & became desperate. I’m extremely picky when it comes to jeans & was searching for years you guys, YEARS! I finally decided I’d throw down a lot of money on a pair, because more money has to mean a better jean. I order several popular brands, assuming one had to be amazing, but returned all of them. I hated them. Every single one.
Fast forward to my experience in & Other Stories, I bought 2 pairs of jeans! (Big deal for me.) And this brand will be my go-to jean going forward. They’re the only ones I own right now. Again, they fit like a glove. EXACTLY what I was looking for. And a fraction of the price compared to the other popular brands. If you’re looking for a real jean, I found them for you.
I hate to say perfect so many times throughout this post but everything about this place is – perfect.
Of course I quickly made sure they had an online store, and fantastic news, they do. And free shipping to the U.S. They also have a few actual store locations throughout the, WORLD. I believe there’s one in L.A. & obviously Dubai. But I think also throughout Europe.
