Nykaa Global Store Brands To Bookmark For A Shopping Haul From Pink Friday Sale
Cider
Fun, cool, funky, and feminine—these are some of the adjectives that carry the spirit of the brand Cider. The brand was launched in 2020 by four friends and offers some versatile and trendy clothes of great quality. The collection is a mix of Parisian and Tokyo street style, the fashion capitals themselves. Their styles will fit into an array of aesthetics – soft-feminine, minimal, street, and more, and we highly recommend them for stocking up on your staple dresses and slightly dressier tops and shirts. Their LBDs should be on everyone's radar, and they really know how to create the most beautiful necklines, so make sure you also bag something whimsical for yourself.

Free People
If there is one brand that we have learned from western influencers that is a 10/10 across the board, it is Free People. They have a lovely collection of basic tops and t-shirts and an even lovelier collection of not-so-basic t-shirts and tops. You can find sheer tops, halter necks, dresses, bralettes, corsets, bodysuits, and more with great quality and structure. If you like your wardrobe to be unique and extra chic, shop from here. One thing we would like to see more of is an expanded size range as these are only available up till XL.
Lipsy
Lipsy is a dream brand for anyone with an affinity towards a soft-girl aesthetic. They are perfect for grabbing something fancy, you can find the most gorgeous-looking dresses that will work for festive occasions and formal events and exude sophisticated luxury which ups the glamour quotient in the most chic and subtle ways. The patterns, styles, silhouettes, and quality channels opulence and we would definitely be spending our buck on some jackets and trenches they have that will be a classic in any wardrobe in the long run.
NA-KD
If your spending budget is too tight or you only want to invest in a few pieces only, we’d say bet it all on NA-KD. Their collection is absolutely perfect for the winter season, will make you look like someone fashionable passing on the streets of London, and has your basics as well as your elegant occasion wear. Get some colourful sweaters and jeans, or cute dresses perfect for parties or your vacation, and channel your old money individuality sans the money (obviously, sigh) with a great size range as well.
alo
If you’re looking to bulk up on neutrals and basics along with some athleisure you cannot miss out on alo. We have seen them on celebrities like Barbara Pavlin and Saweetie and they have everything from leggings, sports bras, and tennis skirts, to co-ord sets, and cycling shorts and will get you ready in time for your yearly gym resolution, with some very high quality exercise gear.
Threadbare
Threadbare is a go-to brand for finding some sturdy, everyday essentials that are comfortable, stylish, and last you for a good amount of years. Their holiday collection is just going to go live, and if someone is looking for pajamas to gift, here's where you can find the most cosy ones. We also love their knitwear collection, with basic jumpers and sweaters, and would be eyeing some oversized plaids that are perfect for the kind of weather north India gets.
Koton
LC WAIKIKI
LC WAIKIKI is for all who like to keep it basic with their everyday styling but with really elevated and high-quality pieces. They have a variety of styles, that will suit a wide array of occasions, and you can really build up your basics with this one. The brand was already on the affordable end and will be a total steal with upcoming sales. We recommend buying their linen pants, and they are not only high quality, but a great styling staple for any wardrobe, and just great for work wear as well.
