When choosing new pieces to add to your closet, it’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of turning to the same handful of stores on repeat. It can be hard to leave the familiarity of what you know, especially if you know certain store’s sizing and what works for you down to a T. But, as they say, life begins at the end of your comfort zone, which means it’s time to add a few new stores to your shopping repertoire.

If finding some new places to shop is on your style to-do list, look no further. These five places are the answer to the “Where do they find this stuff?” question you ask yourself every time a TikTok or Instagram post pops up that you end up saving for inspiration. These five editor-approved shops have given our team some of our most-worn pieces of all time, and it’s about time they do the same for you, too. Ahead are five places to turn to the next time you want to add something new to your wardrobe.

If there ever were a blueprint for what the fashion industry should be actively striving for for when it comes to sizing, Universal Standard has set it. Their size chart has a bell curve adjusted to the actual average size of women’s bodies, meaning that a medium is a size 18-20. With sizing from a 4XS (00-0) to 4XL (38-40), they offer truly inclusive sizing that puts them in a league of their own. Their seasonal collections feature timeless basics that you’ll style on repeat.

5. Thrift Stores

It’s no secret that the most sustainable way to add something new to your closet is by shopping secondhand at thrift stores and on apps like Poshmark. Not only will you score new-to-you pieces at low prices, but you’ll get the benefit of them being unique, and often, well-made too. Spending a Saturday hunting through the racks at your local thrift and consignment shops can end up being the best thing you ever did for your closet.
