Unpopular opinion: I’m not a huge fan of the brand Farm Rio!

Often I review brands I tend to shop and wear a lot in blog posts called: “Style Blogger’s Review,” like Self Portrait and Staud – both of which have become favorites of mine over the years!

So I thought I would review a brand that has become extremely popular and I did shop and try on some of their pieces but unfortunately I don’t really care for: Farm Rio.

This brand is often pushed by bloggers and influencers as a great dress brand and perfect for summer (and the prices don’t necessarily break the bank).

However, once I finally tried a few of Farm Rio’s dresses and other pieces, I can definitively say I don’t like the way the styles fit.

It’s really a shame because I do love the colorful prints and the pieces often look good on the models but I haven’t been able to get them to translate into wearable pieces for me.

I have often found them boxy and ill fitting – something is always a little bit off. For instance, in the case of this white and green tropical printed Farm Rio romper: I loved the way it looked on the Saks website but when I tried it on: the style fell short (as in: not flattering).

Granted the mirror selfie below isn’t the best photo but the straps kept falling – they were too long and the fit gave no definition for my body at all.

Farm Rio items aren’t super expensive but they arn’t exactly cheap either: so I thought I would share my opinion of them so you, as the consumer, could make your own decision on buying a piece.

It’s always nice to know how something fits before purchasing it and just to have some intel in general.

My advice: make sure you can return where ever you buy from!

If you are hell bent on getting a Farm Rio item and trying the brand yourself: I’d start with the Farm Rio sale via the Nordstrom Anniversary sale: they have a few dresses that are included in the sale and you can always return to Nordstrom!

Farm Rio is mostly known for it’s colorful summer dress that are perfect for a resort or Hawaiian vacation but the brand now has some gorgeous dresses for fall!

Dresses with rich floral patterns, long sleeves and belted at the waist: these are the perfect dresses to wear for your fall wardrobe!

Go from summer to fall in auburn, red, and tan tones!

This blouse comes in black and white and is so classic and perfect for any spring or summer event!

Shop dresses for fall now!
