5 Local Brands for New Threads This Year | Lifestyle.INQ

OCTOBER 27, 2022

Wearing a standout or interesting piece of clothing is an instant conversation starter. Trust me, I’ve been in this situation a lot. It’s not about how flashy these clothes are, it’s just how they were made with a unique twist. Some of these are made through ethically-sourced materials or by independent designers that do away with churning out as many clothes as they can. What this creates is a healthy exchange in fashion added by the fact that you will be chruning out some info unknown to your equally fashion-savvy friends.

Here are five pieces from five local brands that will surely make heads turn and will a bit more interest to your everyday fashion know-how.
