The Good: the clothing is absolutely unique and inspiring. It's no surprise that many U.S. Clothing lines have their merchandise manufactured over seas but the difference here is that the pieces on YesStyle are designed primarily for an Asian culture. They have a hip, cool, layered, baggy yet tailored look to them that is, fit and style-wise, unlike anything I've seen in American stores.
Asia and Asian street style has set many trends that's eventually go mainstream (I.e. Gwen Stefani circa 2005) so even if you decide not to buy, it's a great site just to browse. You'll find inspiration that rivals the likes of fashion magazine sites, lookbook or chictopia. You can shop a variety of looks and vibes from super funky to office appropriate and find accessories with the simplest, yet much appreciated, details. Other pros include that the site is super easy to navigate, prices are in U.S. dollars, they provide tons of views on the item you're viewing and they frequently have sales and promos - awesome right!
The bad: (because nothing is ever perfect) Clothing isn't the cheapest. The items are exports and super unique to the U.S. so don't expect a Forever 21 shopping spree. With that being said, it's not super expensive either, in fact, it's considerably reasonable (starting from $20 - $100+). Sizes are confusing sometimes and do take awhile to decipher due to the fact each country is different. Many pieces come in "one size" which can also be tricky sometimes. Bottom line, know your measurements and have a tape measure handy.
Overall, I find this gem to be a diamond in the e-tailer rough. As someone who admires the 'Asian rockstar' style and is sick of asking the Japanese foreign exchange student "where did you get that" - only to be bummed that it's definitely not local, I was extremely pleased to find this site. Visit here and let me know what you think!
