I’ve got huge love for Mango, but sometimes I have to remind myself that other brands do exist.
It might be chic and affordable, but it’s worth broadening your horizons to include other fashion labels other than Mango. If you don’t look you’ll never find, or so the saying goes.
As someone who adores high street fashion, I know how easy it can be to just stick to one brand. If the cuts and designs suit you, why change it up?
I do like to look around before making a purchase however, to ensure I’m getting not only the best deal, but the best buy too.
You’d think basics like denim, t-shirts and roll necks would be easy to find, but there’s a wide variety from one brand to the next and it’s probably down to the shape of your body.
I recommend trying pieces on to ensure the best possible fit. Even wear them around the house for a few hours to get a real feel for the items and ensure they work for your body.
So if you’re in the market for switching it up, here are eight brands I love just as much as Mango. Go on, give them a chance.

Ok, ok, you know this one – but if you don’t shop at Zara, you’re missing a trick.

H&M
Another high street hero for very good reason, H&M isn’t dissimilar to Mango.
Where it does differ is the price point of H&M, which is much lower than the Spanish label. Keep an eye on their sales for even for affordable prices.
