As a style shopping writer, even I find it tough to keep up with the endless number of women’s clothing brands out there. It feels like a new one pops up on my radar every single day. But when I took a step back to look at the industry as a whole and narrow down my all-time favorite brands, the process turned out to be easier than I expected. After years of trying countless labels, my top picks are the ones that bring versatility to my closet, are budget-friendly, stand the test of time, offer a wide range of products—from loafers to strapless bras to the comfortable jeans—and help women live their best, most active lives.

Over the past four years, I’ve tried more than 100 women’s clothing brands, ranging from high-end, dressy options to affordable, laid-back finds. Meanwhile, our resident fashion guru, WH executive fashion director Kristen Saladino, brings 20 years of experience testing fashion brands to the table. Together, we teamed up to curate a list of our 15 all-time favorite brands—ones that deliver on style, quality, and durability and are truly worth every dollar.
