Ok, so remember when Hollister was all the rage in middle school? Like you weren’t anybody unless you were living, breathing, and smelling like the signature perfume at every moment? I admit, I was one of those girls. And, surprisingly, still one of those girls today. Read more about my new Hollister summer outfit below!
A Rekindled Brand Loyalty
Hollister has done a great job adjusting their sizing and continuing to create fashionable ‘beach babe’ wear over the years. Not having their logo splashed across the front of every top, dress, and jacket has also helped to minimize the ‘middle school’ nostalgia and focus on the prints and silhouettes themselves. I recently took a chance and went on a Hollister shopping spree online.
My Hollister Outfit for Summer
Mid-Rise Denim Shorts
Hollister sizes are now similar to women’s sizing you would find at Express. This is my best comparison as I shop at Express a lot! I found their Advanced Stretch Mid-Rise Denim Shorts to be really cute, so I ordered two – Dark Destroy and Ripped White – in size 7. I am usually a size 6 in denim, so I figured a size 7 rather than a size 5 would be my best fit. I was right! The shorts fit PERFECT and have a really flattering shape. They are also currently on sale for under $30!!
Floral V-Neck Top
Staying true to their floral, boho chic style, I found the perfect v-neck top to pair with both denim shorts. The Woven V-Neck Top in ‘White Floral’ is airy, carefree and just the right amount of feminine. I purchased it in size Medium for a loose, not-too-tight fit to pair with a lace bralette underneath. It was just the summer top I was looking for!
My Thoughts on Hollister
It’s official. Hollister has made a grand comeback in my book and I can’t wait to see what else they come out with in the upcoming seasons. Since the shorts and floral v-neck top I have already purchased their twist-front t-shirt in two colors! What are your thoughts on the brand?
