Women's Clothing Stores
A list of the coolest women's clothing shops around.
A.P.C. Surplus
Williamsburg - Brooklyn, NY United StatesReader Suggested: Ultimate city guy/girl's bargain shopping. A.P.C. is already the city dweller's classic; this outlet store is just an extension of the wardrobe staple.
Assembly
Lower East Side - New York, NY United StatesWhile still having an eye for up and coming fashion talents, Assembly honors the past as much as the future. This is reflected in the ambiance, in the prominently display selection of vintage clothing, accessories and objects, but also in the...
August
Rockridge - Oakland, CA United StatesIn August you'll find a shop where the hip, zen surroundings are perfectly in tune with the clothing and accessories. Laid out in an impossibly long shelf one side is denim from some of the finest manufacturers. On the other side are...
Augustina
Yorkville - Toronto, ON CanadaWhile other clothing stores race to get the hottest jeans and the trendiest separates (assymetrical tops, camou., ruffled skirts anyone?) Augustina takes the road less traveled. They choose elegant, sophisticated pieces, items that may cost you a...
Azita
Bahnhofsviertel - Frankfurt, GermanyReader Suggested: Favorite boutique in Frankfurt, Germany with a strong street/skate background and living-room appeal, modern classics and stylish basics next to some edgy designs.
Backspace
Hayes Valley - San Francisco, CA United StatesHaving spent its early year in the back of neighborhood furniture shop Find, Backspace was quite literally that. These days the shop has grown into its own pretty little storefront, but its underground sensibilities are firmly intact. Shop for...
Base
South Beach - Miami Beach, FL United StatesReader Suggested: The store carries lines by Vivienne Westwood Anglomania and other cult labels. They also carry accessory lines by Martin Margiela and other less known labels (Erika Pena, Louis Moralis, King Baby) I find their taste quite stunning. The best part of their store is their taste in music. I find...

Because I Love
La Veille Ville - Geneva, SwitzerlandReader Suggested: Very nice little store with designers from the UK, Japan and local designers.
Behind the Post Office
Haight - San Francisco, CA United StatesBehind the Post Office, a small store that's somewhat lost in the craziness of Haight-Ashbury, offers the fundamentals of fashionable living. Among its super-funky neighbors, the store is a bastion of clean lines, elegant cuts and neutral...
Bespoke Boutique
Downtown - Norwich, United KingdomReader Suggested: The collections are amazing, sourced from around the world. The two co-owners have bought fresh labels to the UK, they have a massive Scandinavian influence, with focus on cut and material. All the collections are designed to flatter! Very friendly and full of knowledge, the small but...
Bettina
Presidio Heights - San Francisco, CA United StatesBettina carries the brands carried by most other chic boutiques in San Francisco. But, what sets Bettina apart is their ability to introduce new brands to San Francisco. Among the usual suspects you are likely to find a small designer that makes...
Betty Lin
Pioneer Square - Seattle, WA United StatesYou don't want Marc by Marc, you just want Marc. You wish Yohji would have the decency to write his full name on a piece of your clothing. For those tired of diffusion brands but not quite ready for flagship brand prices, Betty Lin provides a...
Beyond The Valley
Carnaby - London, United StatesBeyond the designers sending their creations down the London Fashion Week runways and getting tons of press are any number of talented designers that have yet to be widely recognized. Consider it Beyond The Valley's mission to foster and...

Blackmail
South Congress - Austin, TX United StatesScarred by cheeseball all-black/all-white concepts we'd seen in suburban malls, it was with trepidation that we entered Blackmail. The funny skeleton playing a piano in the window, that put us right at ease. The concept comes together...
Blu
Pacific Heights - San Francisco, CA United StatesThe hipper, younger sister of Cielo, Blu is less expensive and less serious. Inside the simple, sanitary interior, Blu lets their clothes do the talking--and boy do they have a lot to say. They come from all over the world, particularly Europe,...
