There is no shortage of stores selling merchandise aimed at young women, but as with anything, some stores are better than others are. If you’re looking for new shopping ideas and want to find some different stores to browse and buy from, this list of the top 7 best stores for young women should provide you with a little inspiration.
Miss KL
A spinoff from the Karmaloop streetwear enterprise, Miss KL is an online-only fashion retailer for young women. With lots of sales and coupon deals, Miss KL brings you the best trendiest pieces at affordable prices. The Miss KL range includes outerwear, shorts, lingerie, jeans, dresses, accessories, and cosmetics. The site is a pleasure to shop at with all the different clothing types clearly and conveniently categorized. So if you like to shop for your fashion and accessories online, Miss KL is definitely a high-quality store worth your browsing time.
Forever 21
For budget fashion, high street and online retailer “Forever 21” is hard to beat. They hold a great range of apparel for young women at very low prices. You do need to be a little choosy when you shop at Forever 21; some of their pieces are not especially durable. As always, it’s a case of “you get what you pay for.” Perhaps Forever 21’s biggest strength is in its huge range of affordable accessories, earrings in particular. Be a little wary of the footwear in the high street stores. The shoes do look nice, but the quality is questionable. If you want to buy shoes from Forever 21, the website has a better range. For cheap and trendy denim apparel, though, Forever 21 has to be one of the best outlets in the US.
Urban Outfitters
Every season, Urban Outfitters rolls out new, trendy, and sometimes controversial streetwear for young women. If you like vintage clothing, ironic T-shirts, and broken-in jeans, you’ll love Urban Outfitters. This retailer is also great for 70s-inspired home décor to kit out your dorm room or apartment, from throw pillows to fondue sets. You can shop at Urban Outfitters high street stores or online. They also have jewelry, handbags, and a nice collection of cheeky lingerie. Urban Outfitters is a casual fun place to shop with mid-range prices and something to suit most young fashion tastes.
H&M
Fantastically low prices, European style and lots of trendy denim; each season sees H&M releasing fresh, hip styles and clothing designs. Never a retailer to stand still, H&M displays change by the week and there are always sales and discounts to be had. You can also enjoy browsing a wide range of cosmetics. Formerly existing only as a high-street retailer in the United States, H&M finally launched online to US customers in August 2013. So now, you have a choice of visiting one of the many stores or taking advantage of their budget prices and discounts online.
Charlotte Russe
Since the first Charlotte Russe store opened in Carlsbad, California in 1975, this retailer, named after a French dessert, has shone its spotlight on young women in their teens and early twenties. There are now over 500 stores across the United States and Charlotte Russe has an impressive website at which you can shop. Prices are good and there are always plenty of discount offers, especially online. If you want to get even better prices on fashion and accessories at Charlotte Russe, you’ll find coupons for deep discounts on sites such as Valpak.
Express
Express is a trendy, young women’s and men’s fashion store, supplying its own brand of sophisticated apparel for going out, working or just enjoying the weekends. With over 600 stores and an online shopping site, Express provides everything in young women’s clothing from little black dresses to performance sportswear. You can also buy accessories, watches, shoes, handbags, jewelry, and fragrances at this popular and trendy retail emporium. Sales are regularly held with up to 40% off normal prices and orders over $125 made online are shipped for free.
Banana Republic
If you’re looking for somewhere to buy new clothes for the office, Banana Republic might be a good place to try, especially if you want to save some money. Go shopping for your work blazers, tops and pants or skirts on a Monday. Banana Republic marks many items down in price after the rush of weekend shopping is over. Look carefully at the price tags, too. If a price tag ends in a 9, for example,e $8.99, there’s a good chance that item will be marked down even further if you hold on for a day or so. On the other hand, a price ending with 7, e.g. $5.57, it has hit rock bottom, so you better buy the item right away if you want it.
If you do like to shop at Banana Republic, be sure to get on their mailing list. They regularly send out coupons for up to 50% savings on their normal purchase prices. While not the trendiest or one of the best stores for young women, Banana Republic is still a great store at which to shop for more conventional fashion.
Other Notable Stores
If none of the seven stores in this list really do it for you, other recommended stores catering for young women are Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle, Inherit Clothing, Hollister, Aeropostale, Gap and J. Crew. Wherever you decide to enjoy your shopping expeditions, remember to keep an eye out for those deep discount coupons and codes that are available online.
