UnitedStyles: A Fashionista’s New Best Friend

As a fabulous fashionista, you’re always searching for perfect staple pieces and standout separates. Sometimes, you’ll spot a to die for skirt in InStyle or during the latest episode of Gossip Girl.  Other times, you find yourself dreaming up the perfect dress and decide to go on an endless hunt for something like it.  Who doesn’t? That’s half the fun of fashion! However, what’s a girl to do when Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, and Bloomingdales just can’t read your mind?  Give up? Not anymore, collegiettes™: now, you have UnitedStyles.

It’s time for a new fashion experience since buying clothes at the mall is so 2011. With UnitedStyles, you have the power to create and purchase your own designs. Did your heart just skip a beat? Mine definitely did!

Based in Shanghai, UnitedStyle was created by Xander Slager, Marc van der Chijs, and Joop Dorresteijn. So if it’s based in China, UnitedStyle is off limits for American collegiettes™, right? Wrong! UnitedStyles has a flat shipping rate through an international courier to any country. As if we need another reason to love UnitedStyles, it gets even better: the company offers free shipping to those who order more than one piece at once. A new addiction? I think so!

So how does it work? UnitedStyles offers lots of pre-made templates that you can alter to match your personal style. With a large array of necklines, sleeves, trims and prints, you’ll be able to create an ensemble that’s perfect for you. The best part of UnitedStyles is that you don’t need a design degree to create an awesome piece: you just need some great ideas, which I’m sure you already have. The next time someone asks where you got that amazing dress from, you can smile and say, “It’s an original.”

Does this seem a little too good to be true? Are you trying to calculate how much this will destroy your collegiette™ budget? Well fashionistas, you’ll be thrilled to learn that UnitedStyles’ pieces range from $49.95 to $129.95. Original clothes  that don’t cost a fortune?  Sounds like collegiette™-approved couture to me!

UnitedStyles couldn’t get any better, or could it?  Be sure to look out for more exciting UnitedStyles news in our HC Study Breaks newsletter! 

Design away, collegiettes™
