French designer brands like

For Mango, a mature and elegant look is always front and center. This isn't to say that this brand is fir for a particular age, far from it! In fact, Mango can go as streetwise as those brands and
retailers in London! However, with every collection they do, they always highlight a sophisticated sense. It's the type of label that a woman of substance would sport! Girlbosses who run their own companies, women in the corporate world who prefer to look sleek and subtle, as well as confident seductresses who know that looking sexy doesn't mean bearing it all!

Stradivarius For The Cool Girl
What a cool girl looks like differ from person to person. But you have to admit: there's already a general idea of what she wears. A 'cool girl' is one that's girly but isn't afraid to go head-to-head with boys without sacrificing her love for pretty things. She has a confidence that her being a girl was, is, and will never be a hindrance in her life. This is exactly the type of girl that Stradivarius fits! She's one to wear skirts, no matter the length, as often as a pair of jeans. She's not afraid to work pastels but also has an affinity for black. And above all else, she's in touch with her femininity unlike any other!

For The Laid-Back Girl
The thing about brands like Zara, Mango, and the like is that, even though they're mass-produced, their styles often stay within tailored and tight looks. Pieces that can take a toll on your body in more ways than one. Fortunately, there's Pulll&Bear. You can probably tell from the name that comfort is the ultimate strong point of this brand. This isn't to say that they don't trot out tailored clothes every once and a while, they do! However, the most popular styles from this label are leisurewear, knitwear, cashmere pieces, and the like. Not to mention the casual looks for every day too!
