Brand Highlight: Retrobeat

Today's brand is Retrobeat! Retrobeat was introduced in Trendsetters under the name 'Popquiz', though there were similar brands in the first game called Capsule and Dazies. The brand's style is 'psychedelic' and it specializes in retro-styled clothes with bright colors and quirky patterns.

This, predictably, was the hardest one to do. Prepare for some...interesting looks.

Brand Highlight: Soy

Today's brand is Soy. It's been featured in every game so far, though it was called 'Terra' in the first game and 'Soy Milk' in the second. Soy's style is 'boho-chic' and the brand specializes in earthy colors and relaxed, loose-fitting clothing.

Soy is possibly my least favorite brand and it has a pretty small stock in comparison to a lot of the others, so this one was...interesting.
                                       

Let's get started!

Brand Highlight: Marzipan Sky

Time for another Brand Highlight!

Today's brand is Marzipan Sky. This brand debuted in Trendsetters (though there was a somewhat similar brand in the first game called Epoque) and has kept the same name in every appearance. Marzipan Sky's style is 'girly' and the brand specializes in clothes that are feminine and cute. If you wanna look sweet and adorable, but not quite like a princess, then Marzipan Sky is the brand for you.

So let's get started!
                             

A classic pink girly look.

Brand Highlight: Streetflow

Time for another one of these.

Today's brand is Streetflow. Streetflow's style is 'sporty' and it specializes in practical and athletic clothes. The brand was called GXS in the first game before becoming Zip Line in the second, and then switching again to Streetflow in the third. Unfortunately, in the fourth game Streetflow and the sporty style were taken out. Thankfully, all (or at least most) of the clothes are still around, they've just been moved to different brands.

The sporty style has never exactly been my favorite, but I do miss it, and putting together the outfits for this post has given me a new appreciation for the style. So without further ado, let's get started!
                               

A classic sporty outfit of mine.

Brand Highlight: Marble Lily

I'm trying to make up for lost time with these, so here's another brand highlight!

Today's brand is Marble Lily. Marble Lily is a brand that's been around since the beginning and has retained its name through each game. Marble Lily's style is 'babydoll' ('princess' in Trendsetters) and it focuses on clothes that are frilly and sweet, with the intention of making you look and feel like a real life princess. Marble Lily is a sister brand of sorts to Raven Candle, and much like Raven Candle, it's clothes are based on the lolita style, particularly sweet lolita.

Since it's one of my favorite brands, I went kind of overboard with this one, so let's just get started!

Brand Highlight: Basic U

It's finally back! I haven't done one of these in forever, and I've been meaning to get back to it. And now I finally have!

So, today's brand is Basic U. As one of the cornerstones of fashion, Basic U is a brand that has featured in every game so far, though it was called Pure Cloth in the first game and Uber Cloth in the second. The brand's image is 'basic' and it specializes in clothes that are simple and clean versatile. Perhaps not the most interesting brand on its own, but it mixes really well with all of the others. 

Of course, it's not like you can't put together nice looks with just Basic U, as I'm about to show you. So let's get started!

                                                                

Some basic pastels to open the post with.

Brand Highlight: AZ-USA

Alright, time to get this up finally. Here are the previous brand highlights, for anyone who hasn't seen them, but would like to.

So, AZ-USA. AZ-USA (pronounced ah-zoo-sah, apparently) is a brand that's been in every game so far, and has retained its name throughout. The brand's style is 'bold' and it focuses on cool and sassy fashion for the confident leading lady.
                                                         

Let's get this party started♪

Brand Highlight: Chorale & Chorale Prelude

Today we're going to take a look at Chorale and its sister brand, Chorale Prelude.

Chorale's style is 'feminine' and the brand is like Marzipan Sky's big sister, flaunting feminine charm, but in a more mature and elegant way. This brand has been in every game so far, but was called Sonata in the first game and Cantata Modo in the second. Chorale Prelude focuses on the feminine style as well, but sells exclusively bags, and made its debut in Trendsetters under the name Cantata Tasca. Let's get started, shall we?
                                               

Chorale is the brand for true ladies.

Brand Highlight: Raven Candle

Today's brand is Raven Candle. Just like April BonBon, Raven Candle has been in every game so far and has kept the same name through each incarnation. Raven Candle's style is 'gothic' and is heavily (but not entirely) based on gothic lolita. The brand focuses on clothes that are dark, elegant, and mysterious, and it can be considered a sister brand of sorts to Marble Lily. Raven Candle is one of my favorites, so let's get started!

                               

Quintessential Raven Candle.

Brand Highlight: April Bonbon

I planned to get this up earlier today, but I was busy, and then my mom invited me out for a late dinner...and then I procrastinated some more...

Anyway, I did a post like this on Purple Moon in October, and I said I would do more, but then completely forgot. Well, I finally remembered the other day, so here's the second one.

Today's brand is April Bonbon! April Bonbon is a brand that's been in every game so far, and unlike some of the other brands, its name has remained the same throughout...except for Trendsetters, where they briefly changed the name to Mint Sprinkles. Additionally, there was also a very similar brand in the first game named Dazies, which was presumably removed for being too similar. At any rate, April Bonbon's style is 'lively' ('pop' in Trendsetters) and the brand focuses on clothes that are bright, colorful, and fun. So let's get started!
                                                 

Of course I have to include the Halloween stuff.

Brand Highlight: Purple Moon

It's October and Halloween is on the horizon, so of course I have to do a post dedicated to my favorite brand. After all, Purple Moon (called Masquerade in the first game and Teatro Amare in the second) is essentially the world's most expensive costume shop.

On top of being a costume brand in general, they even have Halloween-specific stuff!
