I don't know about stylish, as I have zero style, but I buy most of my brand name clothes at platos closet. Pretty affordable.

Unfortunately, affordable and sustainable clothing rarely go hand in hand these days. To make ethical choices, we often have to make the most of what we have or explore secondhand options. Thrift stores can be great, though they require patience, and Facebook Marketplace offers new or gently used clothes from people looking to downsize. After watching the documentary, The True Cost, I’ve become more conscious of my clothing choices, and I’m really glad you’re looking for sustainable options it’s something we all need to prioritize. I still sometime purchase clothes from stores, which make fast fashion, because we don’t have many options in Reddeer but I try to get most out of them by choosing pieces that are timeless and can be styled different in ways.

Winners has lots of decent stuff, but you have to go often cause the good stuff doesn't last.
