Welcome to The Great Try-On. With autumn well and truly in the air, we seized the opportunity to try on some of the best new-in pieces from some of your favourite brands, documenting the process along the way. We believe that the best way to shop online is to see an item IRL and to read candid reviews, so we hope that this leads you to your most successful purchases on the year.
While I’m often adding Mango pieces to my wardrobe and I always have its items on my wish list at any given time, I can only recall ever stepping foot in a Mango store once in my life, believe it or not. (Truth be told, I can count on one hand the number of fitting rooms I’ve stepped foot in over the past year, period.) That’s the beauty of online shopping, folks. I don’t even live in a city that’s anywhere near a Mango store anymore, so my fitting room is my house.
Something I hear from people time and time again is that they prefer to shop in stores because they “have to see it”—referring to an item they’re interested in before buying it. I get it, but it’s not always possible or convenient, and I choose not to limit myself to only the brands that are available at brick-and-mortar stores in my city. I’m here to offer you the next best thing to “seeing it”. I chose a slew of new fall items (of which there were a lot to choose from) to try on from Mango and documented it all along the way.
Scroll to see what my favorite items actually look like on (for reference, I’m 5’4″) and read my honest reviews. And of course, I’ve linked them below so you can order them too if I’ve done a good job of convincing you.
