Wait, Since When Did Zara's Little Sister Brand Become So Cool?
As many of you will know, Zara has a number of offshoot brands that are part of the Inditex family and can be even better than its household label. In particular, our editors are consistently impressed by the designs from the more grown-up, higher-quality label Uterqüe. There's one brand in the Inditex group, however, that even we tend to overlook, but it has some affordable gems that make it worth paying attention to.
We're talking about the younger sister brand, Stradivarius. Like Zara, and with T-shirts for £6 and jeans for £26, it's a great place to stock up on your everyday pieces.
As well as essentials, it's also one of the first brands to pick up on new trends, too. Stradivarius practically spearheaded our obsession with tortoiseshell buttons this summer, and it was also quick to act when beaded bags became a thing. Right now, it's serving up some of the best coats we've seen on the high street, as well as stylish winter staples.
