New York Shopping Guide

Big Chains and Single Labels

1

H&M

This particular outpost is our favorite of the famed Swedish chain: The lines are shorter, and the lofty layout is the least claustrophobic.

Products: Denim, Lingerie/Loungewear, Swimwear, Women's Clothing, Bags, Jewelry

2

Forever 21

It's unbelievable how inexpensive—and on-trend—the clothing is here (the majority of the merchandise is under $30). The huge SoHo location is its newest in the city.
568 Broadway (at Prince St.), 212-941-5949, forever21.com for store information

Products: Denim, Lingerie/Loungewear, Swimwear, Women's Clothing, Shoes, Bags, Jewelry

3

Zara

Its downtown locations seem to get more attention, and that's fine by us: It means the Lexington Avenue shop has less-picked-over merchandise and fewer weekend and after-work shoppers to contend with.

Products: Denim, Women's Clothing, Shoes, Bags, Jewelry

Anthropologie

With its two levels, stunning Fez-meets-Florence interior, and seemingly endless amounts of antique-influenced clothing, accessories, and housewares, this is Anthro's most ambitious New York City store yet. It even has the chain's first and only in-store art gallery.
50 Rockefeller Plaza (between Fifth and Sixth Aves.), 212-246-0386, anthropologie.com
