This store is all about mixing and matching. You have to add your own personal style with a few signature pieces in order to make American Apparel work. PLEASE, do not wear it head to toe.. be original. Its definitely a store that took me awhile to get into because I always thought you had to be 6'4 long and lean to wear these clothes.. but really it can be great if you are trying to hide alittle tummy. I recommend their baggy t-shirts with deep V's paired with your own jeans, boots and a long necklace (think kensington market, Courage of my Love). Ok, and here is a helpful hint if you love those spandax leather tights.... FIRSTLY, please pair it with a classy dress and high heels to balance out the rocker/prep look which I love. SECONDLY, beware, it is sooo hot and sticky in those spandax that its not for a dancing night on the town.... choose wisely!

The clothes are of average price, but for what they are and what they are meant to be used as (athletics) I find it overpriced. Not a big fan of the return to the 80s that they have embraced.

Plain and simple clothes. A good place to go if you need basics. It was totally more expensive than I thought it would be. But very good quality. It was easy to mix and match pieces. The staff was super helpful.
