It’s My First Time Shopping at Reformation—Here’s My Review

Welcome to The Great Try-On. With spring well and truly in the air, we seized the opportunity to try on the best new-in pieces from some of our favourite brands, documenting the process along the way. We believe that the best way to shop online is to see an item IRL first and read candid reviews about fit, style and quality, so we hope our try-ons will lead you to your most successful purchases of the year.

I tend to think that the changing room is where all style hopes and dreams go to die. Under harsh downlights and amongst the cacophony of loud pop hits, it’s not usually the most welcoming environment to fall in love with a new item. Despite this, I’ve always been a firm believer in the power of trying before buying. This is, in part, due to some questionable Depop purchases and the fact that there’s no universal size marker. Still, withstanding the stuffy temperatures and awkwardness of undressing in public, I’ll always opt for testing a piece in person when I can.
