Anthropologie was founded by Dick Hayne, who wanted to create a brand that was sophisticated but also adventurous. Anthropologie is for the women who want to stand out in the crowd and aim to have a unique style. It’s for the girls who have outgrown the street-style of Urban Outfitters but still crave a sense of adventure in their clothing. Anthropologie doesn’t only sell clothes, though. It’s a great stop for home decor, furniture, and even beauty products.
5. Aritzia

Aritzia claims to be “an innovative design house and fashion boutique.” It certainly has an individual, ever-changing style yet still manages to be sleek, simple and of good quality. They also feature many different brands, all of which have their own unique quality. While Aritzia is a bit on the pricier side, all of their pieces can be thought of as investment pieces. Their simple style and use of high-quality material pretty much guarantee you’ll have the piece to wear for years to come.
All of these brands have their own distinct style, unlike the things you see at larger companies. Check them out to spice up your closet!
