Indie Labels Are My Jam, so I Tried 6 Pieces From This On-the-Rise Brand
Welcome to The Great Try-On. With spring officially in full swing, it's time to ready your wardrobe, and we're here to provide a little shopping inspiration. We got to try on some of the best spring pieces from some of your favorite brands and documented it all from our at-home dressing rooms so that you can see how they actually look IRL. We hope that our photos and candid reviews will help you shop for spring wardrobe builders that you'll wear over and over this season and beyond.
You know how much I love my trendy retail stores and luxury shopping sites. I could spend hours scrolling them and definitely have on more than one occasion. However, every once in a while, I have that awkward moment of running into someone wearing the same exact look that I am. That's why I love to find statement pieces from indie labels that feel special and unique to my closet.
I've been an admirer of Lisa Says Gah for quite some time now from afar but never got a chance to try it out. When the opportunity to try on a few of the brand's pieces came knocking, I immediately said, "Pick me!" The store is basically the It-girl destination for new arrivals that are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. My closet now revolves around these six pieces, so have a look at what I found.
Lisa Says Gah Henri Jacket and Dylan Jean
My Review: This set is exactly what I want to be wearing for spring, summer, and fall. Basically, I just never want to take it off. It has a lot of the trendy elements that I'm looking for right now—low-rise, utility, and a relaxed fit. If you're one of those people who think Y2K is not for them, think again. This set will convince you otherwise.
Shop the look:
Tired of blue jeans? The color of the year is the best new way to wear yours.
Lisa Says Gah Charlie Henley and Lucy Overall
My Review: My obsession with that fabric is so strong that I immediately went for the overall version next, and I was in love. I don't think I've ever worn overalls before. Now, I know that I have been totally missing out. They give off such a relaxed vibe. The sweatshirt I paired them with was so soft I think I'd live in it.
Shop the look:
Lisa Says Gah Rosie Zip Up
My Review: Who doesn't love a good hoodie? This one had my heart soaring, especially with its fun details. It's the perfect level of cropped, and the slouchiness is unmatched. My favorite part is the flower zipper. What a great way to add a feminine touch to a sweatshirt.
Shop the look:
Lisa Says Gah Grace Dress
My Review: I love a good midi dress, and this one is next-level. I've shied away from the checkerboard-print trend since I've always thought it was a bit too Gen Z for me, but this dress ended up being the perfect way to wear it. The micro-check print is exquisite, and I love the contrasting colors. The bust is, of course, so flattering.
Shop the look:
Topping mine off with a cropped moto jacket was the best decision.

Growing up with no choice but to wear a rotation of school uniforms and activewear, her love for fashion really blossomed when she moved away for college and was able to finally define her very own personal style. Shortly thereafter, she interned at Elle magazine and instantly knew that editorial was for her. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame, she worked for ShopBazaar, contributing regularly to Bazaar.com, and finally made her way to Who What Wear, where she is an associate editor. When she’s not working, you can catch her always trying to catch a flight, trying the latest fitness craze in New York City, or exploring luxury vintage boutiques.
