One of the many disadvantages of living in Egypt is that we’re always one of the last countries clothing brands decide to branch to. On one hand, we like that when we travel abroad, we come back with a lot of one-of-a-kind clothing items. On the other hand, it sucks to wait until you travel so you would be able to buy clothes you wouldn’t be able to buy otherwise. And of course, the problem with online shopping is the excessive amount of money we waste on shipment. So we need these 4 brands to open in Egypt already! 

1- Forever 21

Forever 21 is the more trendy and up-to-date H&M. It’s a single store that fits everyone’s needs. It’s also affordable and won’t make you feel guilty for shopping in it. The clothing styles found in Forever 21 are extremely versatile. One dress can be worn for a night out with the girls. Yet, when matched with sneakers, could totally work for a breakfast date. We need it to open here, because as much as we love H&M and can always rely on it to buy all the basics and necessary clothing items, we’re all starting to look a lot like each other. We need more options! Forever 21’s cheap and ephemeral fashion will give us more options to choose from.

2- Urban Outfitters

It’s about time we all urbanized our wardrobes, rooms, kitchens and entire houses. Urban Outfitters is without a doubt on the pricey side, but the brand makes it easy for us to channel our inner hipsters and turn this inner mantra into a lifestyle. It’s a cool American clothing corporation with funky store displays that sells just about everything. From clothes, beauty products to bedding, lighting, decor, and kitchen items to vinyls, record players and vintage cameras. It operates in over 400 retail locations worldwide and we just think it’s only fair Egypt adds to the list.

3- UNIF 

Clothing Brands UNIF

UNIF Clothing Brand

UNIF is all about the 90’s, grunge culture, underground techno influences and rainbow brights. The brand is saying goodbye to mainstream fashion and is creating a totally badass line that is shaking up the fashion community. UNIF is the absolutely perfect blend between grunge aesthetics and quirky girly pinks and cutesy prints. It’s a brand for everyone and the best part is that it is so far off the grid; it’s the antonym of clichè. Now, come on UNIF. We want some of those perfectly shredded tops and to have our pick from your array of cat tees!

And the best part? It’s affordable and fits all modern women.
