29 Small-Brand Finds For Fashion Lovers Who Can't Commit To An Aesthetic

Apr 15, 2025

Do you know what’s harder than getting dressed as a fat person? Picking an AESTHETIC!

One of my many mental illnesses craves consistency and routine, which leads me to dress like the New Yorker I am by wearing all black. Meanwhile, the other seeks a burst of dopamine through my outfits, making me dress like a fruity grade-school teacher—and I do mean gay.

As I prepare my looks for spring, which includes some shopping, I've decided to share what's in my shopping cart. Even if your aesthetic isn’t one of mine, you're sure to love a thing or two. 100% guaranteed.

Today we'll focus on seven different brands and 29 items you’ll adore.

BERRIEZ

The Brooklyn-based vintage brand offers sizes ranging from XS to 6X. They often collaborate with small indie designers and have a showroom where you can schedule an appointment to shop in person.

Find them here. Here is what I’m loving from them:

Lavender Ruffle Collar Shirt by Grandpa’s Shirts ($155, Shopberriez.com)

Yello Taxi Shirt by Femlord ($165, Shopberriez.com)

Plaid Corset by Fyoocher ($190, ShopBerriez.com)

NEVER FULLY DRESSED

Never Full Dressed was established in London and is quickly making its mark globally. It has shops across the USA and Europe, offering sizes XS to 26.

Shop them here. Here is what I am loving:

BAGO STUDIOS

I recently discovered Bago Studios, and my passion for bags has been reignited. The Mexican brand offers the most fun bags that will elevate your closet all year long.

DRESSED IN LALA

You can’t scroll this page without feeling how LA it is. The brand only expands up to a 3X, but if you find something, it will definitely be Instagram-worthy.

Magic Maker Mini Dress ($128, Dressedinlala.com)

A Girl’s Best Friend Weenie Dog Cardigan ($88, Dressedinlala.com)

HERA

This brand has a hold on me. Hera is an Ecuadorian brand based in Quito that produces all of its clothing in custom sizes at no extra cost. I have already raved about them here.

These are the items making their way to my closet:

Venus Jacket ($196, Herastudios.com)

Black Cap ($29, Herastudios.com)

Shimokitazawa Jacket ($365, HeraStudios.com)

EYNA

Eyna is an Instagram shop based in Peru. Their shoe designs are unique and timeless. For an additional $20, the shoes can be customized according to heel height, calf width, and even color. Currently, purchases can only be made via DMs. Be sure to polish your high school Spanish skills.

Hesta

Project Runway alum and my friend Hester Sunshine is the designer behind Hesta, the creative mind responsible for all these fun designs. Clown-core, anyone?
