Wait, These 3 Mall Brands Had a Major Glow-Up—30 Things in My Cart
While taking a scroll through TikTok (for work purposes—I promise!), I happened to come across a few fashionable users posting about their fall finds at Abercrombie. I'm not sure if this ages me by a lot, but when I hear Abercrombie, I have flashbacks to trips to the mall after school and begging my mom to let me go into the dark-lit Abercrombie store for just a few minutes. I'm not sure if you've stepped into an Abercrombie lately, but gone are the days of logo sweatshirts. Instead, you'll find a variety of polished wardrobe staples like leather separates and cozy knits. While many mall brands do not exist anymore (RIP Limited Too and Delia's), I decided to take a look at how some of my other favorite mall brands were doing, and I was not disappointed with their current selections.
if you're like me and can't be bothered to make your way to the local mall and face the weekend rush, I've rounded up some of my favorite picks for you to shop straight from home. Below, you'll find my editor-approved picks from PacSun, Abercrombie, and Aerie. Keep scrolling to shop.
