Have you ever added items to your Cider cart and then paused — unsure if the clothes would look as cute in person or if the quality would hold up? Same here.
I finally took the leap and placed my first order with Cider Clothing, and in this post I’m giving you the full scoop. I’ll walk you through what I ordered, how each item fits, what I genuinely loved, and a few things to watch out for — including tips on sizing, fabrics, and styling.
Let’s dive in!
Velvet Cherry Blossom Top
This was the first piece I tried on — and wow. The emerald green velvet is rich and luxurious, and the cherry blossom print gives it a modern Asian-inspired feel without being costume-y. I also love the high-cowl neck collar for an elegant touch.
- Fit: Slim fit, unlined, no padding
- Notes: Collar is relaxed and soft
- Styling Tip: Great with jeans or a sleek midi skirt
Black Convertible Shoulder Bag and Backpack
This versatile bag can be worn as a shoulder bag or a backpack — major points for functionality! It’s made from polyurethane with a polyester lining and adjustable straps.
- Also comes in white
- Big enough to carry everyday essentials
- Ideal for travel, errands, or casual outfits
White Asymmetrical Long Sleeve Top
One of my favorite neckline styles ever — the asymmetrical, off-shoulder detail makes this a romantic yet modern staple. The fabric is a soft mix of viscose and elastane, and the ruched side adds a flattering touch.
- Fit: Unlined, slim, stretchy
- Styling Tip: Pair with a strapless bra or nipple covers (white can be sheer!)
- Love this with denim, shorts or wide-leg trousers
Denim Shoulder Bag with Eyelet and Chain Details
Denim is iconic in American style, and this denim bag makes a bold, trendy statement without sacrificing practicality. It’s huge, structured, and perfect for running errands in style.
- Zip-top fastening
- Eyelet + chain accents
- Great mix of street style + classic fabric
One-Shoulder Black & White Maxi Dress
This knit maxi dress gave me everything: elegance, movement, and edge. It’s a viscose-nylon blend with a soft feel and an asymmetrical neckline. I love a one-shoulder cut and the abstract black and white print is timeless.
- Fit: Flattering, feels amazing
- Styling Tip: Just add statement earrings and you’re dinner-ready!
Boho Bikini
This boho-printed bikini is made with polyester and spandex, giving it good stretch and a soft, jersey-like texture. It features adjustable straps and removable padding, making it customizable to your comfort.
- Fit: The bikini top is flattering. However, the bottom had excess fabric in the back and didn’t lay well on my butt. It looks like I am wearing a diaper!
- Perfect for: If it were to fit nicely, it would be great for pool days, beach trips, or vacation snaps!
My Honest Thoughts on Cider Clothing
Let’s talk fit, quality, and ethics.
✔ What I Liked:
- The styles are very current — if you love Zara and Aritzia, Cider offers a similar aesthetic for less.
- Sizing charts are crucial — be sure to check individual size guides for each item.
- Comfortable fabrics, though some pieces (especially whites) can be sheer — plan your undergarments accordingly.
✘ Things to Consider:
- Many pieces are unlined, which may affect how they wear in real life.
- Fast fashion considerations: Cider falls under the fast fashion category. It’s up to you to decide if that aligns with your values around sustainability and ethical production. I believe in mindful shopping — even when the price tag is appealing.
Final Verdict
If you’re looking to refresh your closet with trendy, affordable finds, Cider is worth checking out. Just shop intentionally, read the reviews, and know your measurements before you check out.
