What mid-range brands are actually worth the hype?
I’ve been getting tons of sponsored ads for brands that feel a bit more elevated, and I’m tempted to start building out my wardrobe with more refined pieces, especially for dresses and skirts. But I’m still on the fence since a higher price point doesn’t always translate to a better design or fit. For anyone who’s moved in that direction (not necessarily designer, but beyond really basic pieces), what brands have you found that consistently deliver on fabric feel, construction, and flattering silhouettes? And how do those pieces actually work in your day-to-day wardrobe? Are they things you reach for often or more situational? I’m especially curious how you style these pieces season after season?
