How these guides are made

Chosen for the clothes, not the follower count

A brand earns a place in a style or place guide when its clothes define the look: cut, fabric, and a point of view that holds across seasons. Product guides pick specific pieces we'd buy at each price. Store guides list shops we've visited or vetted through their buy. Counts update as the directory grows, and any date shown is a real review or roster change.
