I got my first piece of clothing from Universal Standard back in 2017 (the iconic Geneva dress) and since then have been a big fan of this size-inclusive fashion brand.
For almost a decade I have been showcasing my petite 14/16 body wearing Universal Standard, reviewed denim hauls focusing on styles for petite frames, and share special events, sales, and promotions offered by Universal Standard.
I hope these archives help you navigate the unique Universal Standard sizing and make smart choices from a pretty revolutionary clothing brand.
Since I was in 8th grade I have been on the hunt for the perfect leather moto jacket. Soft buttery leather, something that works with not against my shape, not too cropped but not too long, a style that can zip up when it’s cold but also looks great as a topper over lightweight dresses. …
Universal Standard reached out in the Summer of 2021 and asked if I would like to try out their Sunny Swim Shorts. This was for an Instagram campaign (seen here). I know many like a bit more coverage with their swimwear and said yes so I could provide a thorough and honest review. What I…
If you follow me on Instagram you know I am lowkey obsessed with highlighter yellow this summer. Actually, this love of neon yellow began last summer and has just grown in intensity.

I have been slow in sharing my outfits here on Wardrobe Oxygen; here are some of the looks I’ve worn in the past month. Holiday looks, office looks, and some casual outfits mixed in and lots of repeats showing you don’t need a big wardrobe for big style. And you can have a very specific…

Y’all know I am a fan of Universal Standard; I’ve been showcasing this brand since 2017. I love the brand’s size inclusivity (sizes 00-40 with the occasional petite and tall offerings), the elevated basics that are hard to find in such a size range, the choice of models (hello seeing clothing on a body similar…
The weather has been brutal – extremely hot, extremely humid, and lots of thunderstorms or days that look as though a storm will happen any minute. To be honest, I have spent a lot of time indoors wearing loungewear and not getting gussied up. But the few times I have been out and about I’ve…
