Over the years, Brandy Melville has taken over every girl’s wardrobe. This viral clothing brand was first opened in the early 1980s in Italy by Silvio Marsan and his son, Stephan Marsan. The first store in America was opened in 2009 in Los Angeles.
Brandy Melville’s clothing style is mainly cute basics and a handful of trendy pieces. The store’s aesthetic could be described as “California cool” and “laid-back” with their target audience females from late teens to early twenties. From t-shirts, jeans, skirts, sweaters, hoodies and even adorable accessories and bags, if you are looking for comfortable, pretty, and affordable clothing, look no further. “I love the simple but cute designs that Brandy clothes have.” junior Carsyn Opyt said. “I also like that they are made from 100% cotton and the clothes always fit really well.”
Although there is a lot to love about this brand, they have faced some backlash in recent years. Because Brandy has a “one size fits all” sizing, many customers have complained stating that this policy promotes unhealthy beauty standards and fatphobia. On the other hand, there are also other customers that claim that Brandy is one of the only brands that have clothing in their size.
Despite these setbacks, Brandy Melville has stayed a popular brand and has many locations around the world. There is even a two-story Brandy store in Los Angeles, California! So, the next time a shopping spree is well overdue, stop at Brandy and take a look at their wide variety of stylish and adorable clothes.
