Sales & Deals Guide

<div><img alt="Header Image Big" src="https://www.rankandstyle.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstorage.googleapis.com%2Frns-dev%2Fmedia%2Fbf9c30e3-fa789886-how-to-measure-for-a-bra.png&amp;w=640&amp;q=75" height="500" width="500"/><div>Research suggests somewhere between <a href="https://www.calculator.net/bra-size-calculator.html" target="_self">70% and 85% of women are wearing the wrong bra size</a>. If that number seems high, consider this: it's not your fault. The bra industry has no universal sizing standards, so a 34C at one store won't fit the same as a 34C somewhere else. Add in outdated measurement methods still circulating online (like the old "+4 inches" rule), plus the fact that our bodies are constantly changing—weight, pregnancy, even monthly cycles—and it's actually surprising any of us get it right.
We're here to demystify the whole process. Learning how to measure your bra size at home takes about five minutes and requires nothing more than a measuring tape. We'll walk you through the two simple measurements you need, how to calculate your size, sister sizing (your secret weapon when your exact size is sold out), and the game-changing “scoop and swoop” technique that most women don't know about but absolutely should.
Once you know your actual size, everything gets easier—from shopping different <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/articles/knix-bras-and-underwear" target="_self">bra brands</a> to daily comfort. Professional bra fittings exist and can be helpful, but you can absolutely figure this out yourself. The most common mistake? Wearing a band that's too big paired with cups that are too small. If that sounds familiar, keep reading.
<h2>Why Your Bra Size Actually Matters</h2>
Wearing the right bra size affects way more than just comfort—it impacts your physical health, how you feel about yourself, and how your clothes fit. Understanding why proper fit matters makes the measuring process feel less like a chore and more like self-care.
<h3>The Physical Impact</h3>
This goes way beyond "uncomfortable bras are annoying." The physical stakes are real: back pain, shoulder pain, pressure headaches, poor posture, skin irritation, and even breast pain. The <a href="https://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/wp-content/uploads/Bra-Fit-Guide.pdf" target="_self">National Breast Cancer Foundation</a> notes that when your cup is too small, it can cause actual breast pain, and when your band is too big, your straps end up bearing all the weight and digging into your shoulders, which triggers those end-of-day headaches we've all experienced.
An ill-fitting bra also affects how your clothes drape and your posture, which matters for long-term physical health. When your bra isn't doing its job, your whole body compensates in ways you don't even notice until the discomfort becomes chronic.
<h3>How It Affects Your Confidence</h3>
The emotional impact is just as important, though most guides skip right over it. There's the confidence that comes from clothes fitting the way they should. Then there’s the difference between feeling put-together versus constantly tugging at your bra all day, adding the mental load of low-grade discomfort you're carrying around without even realizing it. A well-fitting bra is like finally finding jeans that actually fit your body—when it's right, everything else falls into place and you stop thinking about it.
<h3>Your Body Changes (And That's Normal)</h3>
Weight fluctuates. Hormones shift throughout your monthly cycle, during pregnancy, with birth control, through menopause. Even aging changes breast tissue composition. Sizing also varies wildly across brands due to lack of standardization in the industry—you might genuinely be a 34C at one store and 36B at another, and both can be "right" for those specific brands.
We've all been there, constantly pulling at straps or dealing with underwire that feels like it's staging an escape attempt. Even if you thought you knew your size years ago, it's worth taking time to measure your bra size again. This is self-care, not a chore.
<h2>What You'll Need to Measure Your Bra Size</h2>
No fancy equipment needed for measuring bra size—just grab a soft measuring tape (the fabric kind, not a metal one) and a mirror so you can check that the tape stays level all the way around your body.
What to wear during measuring: You'll get the most accurate results in a thin, non-padded bra or going braless. Definitely skip push-up bras, minimizers, or sports bras—they compress or enhance your natural shape and will throw off your measurements.
Timing matters more than you'd think. Measure mid-cycle, not during your period when your breasts may be swollen from hormonal changes.&nbsp;
How to stand: Keep it natural. Stand with your shoulders relaxed (not pulled back or hunched forward), arms at your sides, breathing normally. Don't hold your breath or suck in your stomach—we want accurate numbers, not aspirational ones.
That's the prep work. Five minutes of your time, and you're ready to get your actual measurements.

How to Measure Bra Size: Your Guide to the Perfect Fit

<div><img alt="Header Image Big" src="https://www.rankandstyle.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstorage.googleapis.com%2Frns-dev%2Fmedia%2F55f3270c-a698f438-exosomes-in-skincare.png&amp;w=640&amp;q=75" height="500" width="500"/><div>If you've been anywhere near the beauty side of Tik Tok lately, you've probably heard people chatting about exosomes. They're the it ingredient everyone from dermatologists to K-beauty brands can't stop mentioning, and they may just live up to the hype. But what even are they? In the simplest terms, exosomes are tiny particles that carry messages between your skin cells—kind of like passing notes in class, except these notes tell your skin to make more collagen and fix up any damage. <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/medical-professionals/otolaryngology/news/tapping-into-the-potential-of-platelet-derived-exosomes-in-aesthetics/mac-20582898" target="_blank">Research around these little guys is still pretty early</a>, but so far it adds up with the results we’re seeing. This guide breaks down what exosomes actually are, how they work, the different types you'll find in products, and whether they're worth adding to your routine (spoiler: it depends).
<h2>Exosomes, Explained</h2>
Imagine your skin cells are constantly texting each other. "Hey, there's damage over here!" "We need more moisture!" "Time to make some collagen!" Exosomes are basically those text messages—except instead of words, they're carrying actual instructions and materials your cells need to get the job done.
<h2>What Are Exosomes in Skincare?</h2>
What makes exosomes different from other skincare ingredients is what happens after they soak in. They don't just hang out on the surface doing their thing. They slip inside your skin cells to deliver the message and supplies we talked about, which essentially talks those cells into acting younger. It's like hiring a really good life coach for your skin—it helps your skin get on track with behaving the way it did ten years ago.
The big selling point is that exosomes tackle multiple problems simultaneously. Most skincare ingredients are good at one thing. Exosomes? They're working on inflammation, collagen, barrier repair, all at once. But whether that actually happens in the serum you're buying is another question entirely.
<h2>Where Do Exosomes Come From?</h2>
Your body makes exosomes naturally all the time, but the ones in your skincare products come from three main places:&nbsp;
<ol>
<li>Human stem cells or platelets (which sounds wild but is totally safe when done right)</li>
<li>Plant sources</li>
<li>Lab-made versions</li>
</ol>
Each source has its own benefits and limitations, which we'll jump into later.
<h2>How Do Exosomes in Skincare Work?</h2>
Do exosome serums actually work? Short answer: depends where you're using them and what you're expecting.
The way exosomes work is pretty straightforward—they sink into your skin, find cells that need help, and deliver their packages of helpful ingredients. Once that delivery happens, your cells start behaving differently. They make more collagen, they calm down if they're inflamed, they repair damage faster. It's a domino effect, and it all starts with those tiny messengers showing up and doing their job.
Now, there are two completely different ways to use exosomes in skincare, and which you pick makes a difference in the kind of results you’ll see.
<h3>In-Office Treatments</h3>
This is where exosomes really earn their reputation. When you go to a dermatologist for something like microneedling or laser treatments, they can apply an exosome serum right after. Those procedures create thousands of tiny holes in your skin—on purpose—which means the exosomes can go way deeper than they ever could on their own. Deeper is the game changer. Your skin heals faster, inflammation goes down quicker, and the boost in collagen is much more noticeable. You're basically giving the exosomes VIP access to the parts of your skin that need them the most.
<h3>At-Home Exosome Products</h3>
The exosome serums and creams you buy at <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/articles/ulta-vs-sephora" target="_self">Sephora or Ulta</a> usually contain plant-based or lab-made exosomes, and they're fine—they just don't have the same punch. They can't get as deep because there's no microneedling opening doors for them. You'll see some benefits: better hydration, a bit more glow, smoother texture. But if you're expecting the dramatic before-and-after results you'd get from a pro treatment, prepare for a let-down. Think of at-home exosome products as a nice addition to what you're already doing, not a miracle cure in a bottle.
<h2>Where Do Exosomes Come From? Plant vs. Human-Derived</h2>
Not all exosomes are the same. Where they come from makes a huge difference in how well they work, how much they cost, and whether they're right for your skin.
<h3>Plant-Derived Exosomes</h3>
These come from plants—usually stuff like grapes, bitter melon, or various herbs and fruits. Plant exosomes are gentle, soothing, and full of antioxidants, which makes them great for sensitive skin or anyone who's just dipping their toes into the exosome world. They're also easier to source ethically and don't cost as much.
The downside? They're not as powerful as human-derived exosomes. They'll give you hydration, calm redness, maybe a nice glow, but they're more about maintaining what you've got than turning back the clock.
<h3>Human-Derived Exosomes</h3>
These are sourced from human cells, but before you freak out, they're not taking them from actual people's bodies. The <a href="https://connect.in-cosmetics.com/ingredients/exosomes/" target="_blank">cells are grown in a lab</a>, and as they grow, they naturally release exosomes. Those exosomes are then collected, purified, and filtered until they're clean enough to put in skincare products.
Because they're from human sources, these exosomes are way better at getting your skin cells to listen. They're stronger at turning up collagen production and repair, which is why brands like Plated, Angela Caglia, and 111Skin use them in their fancy (read: more expensive) serums. These are considered medical or clinical-grade, and the price reflects that.
<h3>Lab-Synthesized Exosomes</h3>
Some products use exosomes made entirely in a lab. These usually fall somewhere between plant and human in terms of effectiveness, and they're often in products that are trying to hit a middle price point.
Now that you know where exosomes come from, let's break down the different types of products you'll actually see on shelves. These categories are organized by what they're designed to fix—because that's how most people shop. Whether you're targeting aging, dryness, sensitivity, or specific areas like your neck or scalp, there's probably an exosome product formulated for it.

Derm-Approved, TikTok-Famous—But Are Exosomes Actually Worth It?

What Are Exosomes in Skincare? The Ingredient Everyone’s Talking About

Let that sink in for a second. Eight. Thousand. That's not a curated selection—that's an entire warehouse worth of options. And if you've ever found yourself 47 pages deep at 11 p.m. wondering how you got there and what you're even looking for anymore, welcome to the club.
But here's the thing. Once you actually know what you're shopping for, that massive selection becomes way less intimidating and a lot more exciting. Whether you need a cashmere piece that'll last for years, an oversized sweater that looks intentionally cool instead of just big, or a sweater dress that solves the "what do I wear" question in about 30 seconds, it's all there. You just need to know where to look.
I recently spent way too much time (but also exactly the right amount of time?) combing through Nordstrom's entire sweater section, and I pulled my absolute favorites across every category worth shopping. From preppy cardigans to fun off-the-shoulder styles, these are the sweaters I keep coming back to. Consider this your shortcut to the good stuff.

These Fashion Trends Are Taking Over in 2026, and Nordstrom Has Them All

10 Trends to Shop at Nordstrom

<div><img alt="Image credits: quince" src="https://www.rankandstyle.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstorage.googleapis.com%2Frns-dev%2Fmedia%2F798aed08-fa09852b-large-hero-image-template-2023-02-19t173928.543.png&amp;w=640&amp;q=75" height="500" width="500"/><div>As much as we’d all like to prioritize luxury and sustainability when it comes to shopping, the reality is that doing so isn’t usually affordable. But Quince—launched in 2019 and formerly known as Last Brand—is changing that. Powered by a uniquely developed factory-direct model, Quince offers <a href="https://goto.quince.com/c/79998/1936302/21926" target="_blank">exceptionally high-quality staples for much lower prices than competitors</a>, from linen sheets to luggage and silk PJs. Curious how Quince pulls it off? We’re breaking down seven key things to know about the brand and why it’s worth a spot on your radar.
One thing to note: Quince typically doesn’t offer discount codes, and you won’t find any on their website. However, signing up for their email list is a smart move. You’ll <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/codes/95767000?pt=article" target="_blank">GET $40 OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER</a> of $300 or more when you sign up—no Quince discount code required.
<h2>What is the Quince Aesthetic?</h2>
Quince is for those who appreciate elevated simplicity. You’ll see neutral palettes, classic silhouettes, and premium fabrics that never go out of style. When it comes to the product lineup, Quince prioritizes high-quality essentials that bring enjoyment and luxury to everyday life—think leather goods, wardrobe essentials like tees, button-downs, and silk sleepwear, and home essentials like rugs, sheets, and towels. No product is overly patterned or branded, and each is made with the kind of keep-forever quality you’d usually only get for a high price.
<h2>A Brand That Believes Everyone Deserves a Touch of Luxury</h2>
Well-made products should be accessible to everyone, but this usually isn’t the case. "We started Quince to challenge the existing idea that nice things should cost a lot," said Sid Gupta, Co-Founder and CEO. "Our mission was simple—create products of equal or greater quality than the leading luxury brands at a much lower price. Because we believe quality should never be a luxury.”
Quince focuses on high-quality essentials designed for everyday luxury. They skip fleeting trends and instead prioritize timeless, wearable pieces that stand the test of time.
<h2>Sustainability is Woven Into Quince’s DNA</h2>
Sustainability goes far beyond fabric, and Quince proves that. From manufacturing and materials to packing, shipping, and even design, the brand works to reduce environmental impact in every way. This means a commitment to responsible production and safe working conditions, keeping carbon emissions low by shipping directly from manufacturers, the use of eco-friendly dyes and materials (think cashmere, alpaca wool, organic cotton, organic linen, and 100% recycled polyester), and last but not least, timeless designs that are made to last regardless of trends.
To top it all off, Quince works hard to ensure that nothing is overproduced. “The magic here is we're not producing on-demand, but we're producing near just in time, which allows us to get scale and match supply and demand really tightly,” says Gupta.
<h2>Quince Pricing: A Commitment to Affordability</h2>
Thanks to Quince’s unique Manufacturer To Consumer model (M2C), the company takes products straight from the world’s leading suppliers to your door. This means skipping the massive markups typically associated with traditional brands and retailers. That $150 cashmere sweater you’ve been eyeing? It’ll cost around $50 at Quince, shipping directly from Mongolia. Italian leather bags are just $100 coming directly from Florence, and a set of Turkish spa towels from Izmir just $50.
The brand works with more than 30 of these factories across the world, ensuring that each one reflects the same high environmental and ethical values they hold.
<h2>Even More Ways to Save and Score Quince Discount Codes</h2>
Quince's prices are already refreshingly low, but they also offer discount codes and run limited-time offers that make stocking up on their most-loved pieces even more rewarding.

The key is knowing what to look for, when items get marked down, and how to navigate the sale section like you actually know what you're doing (because after this, you will).
In this guide, I'm sharing my absolute favorite Nordstrom sale finds across clothing, shoes, accessories, beauty, and home, plus all the insider tips I've picked up along the way.

Below, we've rounded up the best cat trees, loungers, and more for people who actually care about how things look.
<h2>Best Places to Buy Stylish Cat Furniture</h2>
Finding top rated cat furniture that matches your vibe can feel overwhelming, so we did the legwork for you. We scoured specialty retailers online to find high-design cat trees and loungers that meet your exacting standards (because we know you have them).&nbsp;
Here's what we looked for:
<ul>
<li>Design and build quality</li>
<li>User reviews</li>
<li>Materials and longevity</li>
<li>Aesthetic merit</li>
</ul>
After hours of research (and maybe a little online shopping cart abandonment), we've narrowed down the retailers that consistently deliver on both style and function.&nbsp;
<h3>Here’s a list of our top ten brands:</h3>
<ol>
<li>Mau Pets</li>
<li>The Refined Feline</li>

Sleek Cat Trees & Designer Loungers That Blend In With Your Space—Without Sacrificing What Cats Actually Love

Where to Buy Modern, Stylish Cat Furniture That Looks Like Real Home Décor

<div><img alt="Header Image Big" src="https://www.rankandstyle.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstorage.googleapis.com%2Frns-dev%2Fmedia%2F83845c04-bf8686a9-hero-image-2026-01-07t105644.739.png&amp;w=640&amp;q=75" height="500" width="500"/><div>Finding the best skincare line isn’t really about chasing whatever’s trending this week. It’s about figuring out which brands actually hold up once the novelty wears off. The ones people stick with. Repurchase. Recommend quietly to friends. The ones that still show up on the bathroom counter months (or years) later.
We looked at the best skincare brands through that lens, considering long-term user reviews, consistency across products, dermatologist trust, and how well each line performs for different skin needs. Many of these brands also show up consistently on best seller lists (including our list of <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/articles/ulta-best-sellers" target="_self">best sellers at Ulta</a>) which is often a good signal of what people actually repurchase, not just what’s trending. Some of these brands are luxury investments. Others are affordable, straightforward, and surprisingly effective. All of them have earned their reputation by doing something well—and doing it repeatedly.
Whether you’re trying to build a routine from scratch, upgrade a few key steps, or finally understand why certain names keep coming up in conversations about top rated skincare brands, this list is meant to help you narrow things down without overcomplicating it.

Good Skincare Brands For Every Skin Type, Concern, And Budget

The 20 Best Skincare Lines People Actually Stick With

Sizes shift. Bodies change. What worked last year suddenly doesn’t. And somehow, the bra drawer ends up full while still missing the one you actually want to wear.
That’s why finding a few good bra brands you can rely on makes such a difference. Not just brands that look good online, but bra companies people actually come back to after months of wear. The ones that survive long days, busy weeks, and more washes than you’d like to admit.
Every brand on this list earned its spot based on a mix of editorial best lists, real customer reviews, and repeat-purchase loyalty. We looked at how bras feel over time, how consistent sizing really is, and whether shoppers genuinely trust the brand enough to buy again. From everyday staples to shaping styles and wireless favorites, these are the best bra brands worth knowing right now.

Comfortable, Well-Made Bras Worth Buying Again

The Best Bra Brands to Know Right Now

<div><img alt="Header Image Big" src="https://www.rankandstyle.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstorage.googleapis.com%2Frns-dev%2Fmedia%2Fcf0f1fad-a223d897-quiet-luxury-brands.png&amp;w=640&amp;q=75" height="500" width="500"/><div>Quiet luxury has been everywhere lately—but not in a loud way (obviously). It keeps showing up in fashion TikTok rabbit holes, in Succession rewatch marathons, in those outfits you screenshot without totally knowing why. There’s no logo screaming for attention. No trend doing the heavy lifting. And somehow, it still feels powerful.
That’s kind of the point. Quiet luxury is about impeccable tailoring, elevated basics, and fabrics that feel good the second you put them on. The kind of pieces that don’t need an explanation. They just look right. Polished. Intentional. A little intimidating, in the best way.
<h2>The Best Quiet Luxury Brands, Ranked</h2>
These are the brands fashion insiders reach for when they want their clothes to say something—without actually saying anything at all. Timeless silhouettes. Neutral palettes. Craftsmanship that holds up season after season. Some of these labels are true investment territory. Others are more attainable. All of them understand restraint. And that’s what sets them apart.

Timeless Fashion Labels Known for Craftsmanship, Restraint, and Lasting Style

The Best Quiet Luxury Brands That Define Effortless Wealth

<div><img alt="Header Image Big" src="https://www.rankandstyle.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstorage.googleapis.com%2Frns-dev%2Fmedia%2F61b0bfc6-cd098052-apres-ski-outfit.png&amp;w=640&amp;q=75" height="500" width="500"/><div>When you’re taking a ski trip, hitting the slopes is just part of the fun. After an exciting day spent racing downhill, you’ll want to cozy up with friends, so why not bring a little alpine glamour to the party? Come direct from the slopes in your puffer, slip on your most luxurious casual wear, or channel a movie star vibe (à la Charade) to celebrate life in the snow. Whether you’re sharing fondue at a Swiss chalet or sipping champagne in Aspen, you can dress to match the mood in bold statement jackets, soft sweaters, and comfy boots. The secret to the perfect après ski outfit is mixing practical yet stylish wardrobe essentials that will keep you warm and chic, wherever you’re headed this season.

<h2>What Is Après Ski?</h2>
Après ski is shorthand for socializing after a day on the slopes. It started in Norway but got its name when small villages in the French Alps started hosting “après ski” at snowcapped resorts. Modern après ski culture blossomed in the 1950s when gathering by the fire with hot drinks became a ritual, and rustic fashion became a mark of relaxed elegance. Soon, the good times spread around the world to Austrian and Swiss lodges, Italian rifugi, American ski clubs, Japanese ryokans, and Chilean hotels.
Today’s après ski scenes take on the character of their location whether it's the designer after-ski clothing and dancing at Val d’Isère, bright puffers at a St. Anton am Arlberg beer hall fête, or sweaters for poutine at Mont-Tremblant.
When it comes to après ski outfits, there are no true rules or dress codes; some people just swap their helmets for beanies and skis for moon boots and head to the bar, even in upscale settings. The music, eating, drinking, and dancing usually get going when the lifts shut down with a toast to Ullr, the Norse god of snow, and continue into the night.
<h2>The Après Ski Outfit Formula</h2>
Creating smart-looking ski trip outfits is all about coordinating eye-catching layers. Whether you’re coming in straight from the mountain or taking time to freshen up, you can build your look with après ski essentials that balance warmth, comfort, and style. Leave your skis outside, swap out your shoes, and get ready to socialize.
<h3>These key pieces will work across all styles and price points:</h3>
<ol>
<li>Base Layer: Start with a warm and sleek pair of thermal leggings or slim ski pants and a fitted turtleneck in a technical fabric or merino wool.</li>
<li>Mid-Layer: Make your look your own with an oversized cashmere sweater, an updated Fair Isle knit, or a fleece pullover that evokes the '90s.</li>
<li>Statement Outer Layer: Define your look with a standout puffer jacket, fluffy faux fur coat, or shearling-trimmed parka.</li>
<li>The Bottom Half: Pull on sleek, lined leggings or transitional ski pants for outdoor revelry, or change into wide-leg knit pants or easygoing jeans for relaxing inside.</li>
<li>Footwear: Banish your damp socks, and step into some grip-sole shoes or iconic Moon Boots. Get bonus points for shearling-lined options; get an easy-on pair and wear them all winter.</li>
<li>Finishing Touches: No outfit is complete without the beanies, scarves, mittens, sunglasses, and crossbody bags that pull your look together.</li>
</ol>
In the sections ahead, we’ll share our favorite outfit ideas, with tips on how to wear them.

Every brand promises flawless skin, perfect brows, and makeup that somehow lasts through everything. But which ones actually live up to the hype?
The beauty landscape has shifted fast in the past few years.

<div><img alt="Image credits: reformation" src="https://www.rankandstyle.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstorage.googleapis.com%2Frns-dev%2Fmedia%2Fc98a30d8-455c4a6f-reformation-clothing.png&amp;w=640&amp;q=75" height="500" width="500"/><div>Close your eyes and picture that girl—you know, the one in a perfectly effortless dress that hugs in all the right places. Chances are, she’s wearing Reformation. Since launching in 2009, the Los Angeles–based brand has become a favorite among celebrities, influencers, and fashion editors alike, thanks to its slinky silhouettes, feminine details, and unmistakable cool-girl energy.
Reformation blends upscale, eco-conscious design with vintage-inspired aesthetics, making it one of the most sought-after brands for weddings, vacations, and everyday moments worth dressing up for. Whether you're eyeing the viral linen dress Taylor Swift wore or building a capsule wardrobe filled with timeless staples, we're here to help you discover Reformation’s best styles—and save while you’re at it.
<h2>What Is Reformation and What Do They Sell?</h2>
Reformation is a Los Angeles–based fashion brand known for its chic, feminine designs and commitment to sustainability. True to its name, the brand set out in 2009 to reform the fashion industry by encouraging mindful shopping and offering stylish investment pieces made to last.
Reformation primarily focuses on womenswear, blending vintage-inspired silhouettes with modern tailoring. The result? Clothing that feels timeless yet trend-forward. From flowy dresses perfect for a summer wedding to elevated basics you'll wear on repeat, the brand offers styles designed to flatter and empower—think dresses, tops, jeans, footwear, outerwear, loungewear, and accessories that work for any occasion.
With inclusive sizing, natural fabrics, and impeccable fits, Reformation designs pieces that help you look and feel your best, whether you're dressing up or keeping it casual.
<h2>The Reformation Sale Is Finally Here With Up to 70% Off</h2>
The <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/codes/95859210?pt=article" target="_blank">Reformation Sale</a> is officially here, and it's everything we've been waiting for. Select items are up to 70% off—think fun dresses and tops perfect for winter events, cold-weather staples like sweaters and boots, and elevated workwear essentials including totes and trousers to refresh your 9-to-5 wardrobe. Basically, your winter-to-spring wardrobe is sorted.
It's worth signing up for emails or texts to stay in the loop and get a heads-up if Reformation drops steeper markdowns as the sale continues (they’ve been known to do so). Those few extra hours can make all the difference when the good stuff goes fast. Plus, new subscribers get a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/codes/95806278?pt=article" target="_blank">Reformation coupon for 10%</a> off their first order, which is just the cherry on top.
<h2>The Reformation Story</h2>
Reformation has been reshaping the fashion industry since 2009. It all started when founder Yael Aflalo began selling custom-tailored vintage pieces from her Los Angeles boutique. Demand quickly outpaced supply, prompting Aflalo to rethink her approach. By 2013, she opened Reformation’s first factory to produce vintage-inspired designs using modern, sustainable methods.
From there, the brand took off. In 2014, Reformation launched its first bridal collection. Just a year later, it became 100% carbon neutral—solidifying its status as a leader in eco-conscious fashion. In 2017, it introduced Ref Jeans, made from organic and recycled cotton using water-saving techniques. Today, Reformation operates over 40 stores globally, all while staying true to its mission: making effortless style with a smaller environmental footprint.
Looking ahead, Reformation has set ambitious goals. It aims to become climate-positive by the end of 2025, meaning it will remove more carbon from the atmosphere than it emits. By 2030, the brand plans to go fully circular—designing clothes made entirely from recycled fibers and launching a large-scale recycling program to help close the loop on fashion waste.
<h2>Best-Selling Pieces and Popular Collections</h2>
Reformation keeps its collections fresh year-round, offering limited drops and seasonal staples that fashion fans wait for. In the summer, you’ll often find a dreamy linen collection—perfect for breezy days and sun-soaked vacations. Come winter, the brand leans into luxurious fabrics like velvet and satin, ideal for holiday parties and festive nights out. And for those walking down the aisle (or standing beside someone who is), Reformation’s bridal collections deliver chic, modern options for brides and bridesmaids alike.
Alongside its seasonal releases, Reformation brings back fan-favorite styles that shoppers can’t stop adding to cart.&nbsp;
Here are some of the brand’s most iconic and best-selling pieces:
<ul>
<li>The Juliette Dress: This romantic dress features a sweetheart neckline and fitted bodice with a flowy skirt. Fans love its versatility and its many colors and patterns.</li>
<li>The Sigmund Dress: This long-sleeved midi dress is a favorite during the cooler months. Its square neckline, lightly puffed sleeves, and dramatically slit skirt have made it a favorite of celebrities like Kaia Gerber.</li>
<li>The Balia Dress: This linen dress is a newer option, and shoppers can't get enough of its trendy silhouette. It features a gently scooped neckline, a low, pointed bodice, and a full skirt.</li>
<li>The Cynthia Jeans: These high-rise, straight-legged jeans are a go-to basic for Reformation shoppers. People praise their fit, quality, and neutral silhouette.</li>
<li>Reformation Cashmere: The brand has a lot of devoted followers of its cashmere sweaters. Available in cardigan and pullover styles, this material is popular due to its softness and warmth.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Reformation Aesthetic</h2>
A Reformation piece is instantly recognizable—thanks to its clean lines, vintage-inspired silhouettes, and subtly sultry vibes. Think: body-skimming fits, romantic details, and just the right amount of drama. Drawing influence from decades past (the ‘30s through the ‘90s), Reformation blends retro glamour with modern edge to create pieces that feel timeless and trend-forward all at once.
The brand is best known for its dresses, often featuring sleek bodices, flowing skirts, and head-turning elements like deep necklines, thigh-high slits, or puffed sleeves. Accents like ruching, corset seams, and square necklines keep things visually interesting, while a mostly neutral and pastel palette—think dusty rose, emerald, ivory, and black—makes everything effortlessly wearable. You’ll also find delicate prints like micro florals and understated polka dots that enhance rather than overpower.
Reformation’s aesthetic is designed for confident, style-conscious women who want to look polished with minimal fuss. Whether you're dressing for a garden party, a casual date, or a night out, these pieces strike the perfect balance between elevated and easy. And when the moment calls for something extra—like a wedding, prom, or holiday gathering—Reformation’s signature look brings just the right amount of wow.
<h2>Collaborations, Celebrities, and Pop Culture Moments</h2>
From Olivia Rodrigo posting on Instagram in a polka dot Reformation Jessi Dress to Taylor Swift announcing her TikTok debut in her yellow Reformation Joyce Dress, social media is filled with exciting Reformation moments. We've seen the brand on everyone from Meghan Markle to Kendall Jenner, and it's common for these pieces to sell out almost as soon as they go viral.
If you love celebrity-approved fashion but can't fight thousands of fans to get the same dress Rhianna just wore, Reformation has some collaborations for you to check out.&nbsp;
Some standout collabs from the brand include:
<ul>
<li>Reformation x Kacey Musgraves</li>
<li>Reformation x Devon Lee Carlson</li>
<li>Reformation x Camille Rowe</li>
<li>Reformation x New Balance</li>
<li>Reformation x New York City Ballet</li>
</ul>
<h2>How Much Does Reformation Cost?</h2>
Reformation may be known for its dreamy dresses and fashion-forward designs, but it's also considered an investment brand. Most everyday pieces fall between $50 and $300, though prices can go higher depending on the item or fabric.&nbsp;
Here's a general breakdown of what you can expect to pay:
<ul>
<li>Dresses: $150 to $300</li>
<li>Special Occasion Dresses: $300 to $800</li>
<li>Jeans: $100 to $150</li>
<li>Tops: $50 to $350</li>
<li>Outerwear: $100 to $400</li>
<li>Shoes: $150 to $500</li>
</ul>
Reformation’s higher price points reflect its commitment to sustainable materials, ethical production practices, and long-lasting quality. While it might cost more upfront than your average fast fashion find, many shoppers say it’s worth the splurge for pieces they can wear again and again.
Want the Reformation look for less? You're in luck. The brand runs seasonal sales and promotions throughout the year, and signing up for its newsletter or loyalty program can score you early access and exclusive offers. You can even get a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/codes/95806278?pt=article" target="_blank">Reformation coupon for 10% off</a> when you sign up for emails and texts.
<h2>Brands Like Reformation</h2>
Love Reformation but in the mood for something a little different?
 Here are some other fashion brands you might enjoy:
<ul>
<li>Madewell: Like Reformation, Madewell has a similar "fashion as an investment" attitude, and it also prioritizes quality materials and construction. Its aesthetic leans a little more casual and preppy, and most of its clothes aren't that form-fitting though.</li>
<li>Everlane: As is Reformation, Everlane is an eco-conscious brand that prioritizes things like recycled materials, reduced waste, and sustainable production. Just keep in mind that it mostly produces basics like t-shirts and jeans.</li>
<li>Aritzia: Aritzia designs have the same seductive, glamorous look as Reformation, and its inventory contains a similar blend of special-occasion dresses and elevated classics. The brand has some sustainable initiatives, but it's not as eco-conscious as Reformation.</li>
<li>Sezane: Sezane's designs often include bolder prints and colors than Reformation, but it has the same updated yet vintage style. It also has a similar focus on natural materials, and a lot of its garments have a sustainable and eco-friendly background.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Why We Love Reformation: Our Take</h2>
There are plenty of brands that dabble in sustainable fashion or vintage-inspired silhouettes—but few do it quite like Reformation. We keep coming back to it for one simple reason: it nails the balance between style and substance.
Reformation’s pieces are eco-conscious and effortlessly cool. Its seasonal It-dresses often set the tone for trends we see everywhere else just a few months later. But even as it stays ahead of the curve, the brand’s looks manage to feel timeless. Think: modern tailoring meets old-school charm, with silhouettes that flatter and fabrics that feel amazing on the skin.
You’ll spot Reformation products in a lot of our Rank &amp; Style lists—and for good reason. The brand’s pieces are endlessly versatile, whether you’re styling them for weddings, brunch, date nights, or just a quick coffee run. When we’re searching for a closet staple like a beautifully cut cardigan or the perfect LBD, Reformation is always top of mind.

Digital gifts aren't a cop-out—they're actually one of the smartest ways to show someone you care.

Today's options range from streaming subscriptions that fuel their binge-watching habits to gift cards for women who love beauty and fashion, to experience-based options that create actual memories. Whether you're shopping for your sister who's impossible to please, gift cards for dad who insists he doesn't need anything, or that coworker you barely know, there's a digital option that'll make you look thoughtful without requiring a crystal ball.
