    Abercrombie, American eagle and aeropostale are three of the biggies that you wont get over here unless over the net so look out for those. Personally i think abercrombie is the best quality make of clothes you can buy, and no im not one of those d4 heads. Trust me.
    Its tough enough to find these shops, i kno abercrombie hav a store on 5th avenue, NY (coolest shop ever), you hav to look in the malls outside the city or in smaller cities tho. Stamford, conneticut is by far the best.

    You should've probably included your price ranges, but the ones mentioned so far are pretty good. It might also be worth your while tracking down a Ruehl No. 925 as they're going to be huge in 2-3 years time.

    abercrombie & fitch are good quality but kinda come with the whole "D4" label(i wear abercrombie though, and i am NOT a d4) and american eagle is really nice and not as expensive as abercrombie. yeh also aeropostale and my personal favourite, old navy, which is pretty cheap and good for, well, everything. and if youre into the whole "goth" thing (well even if youre not, they have pretty cool stuff) go to hot topic for all that weird stuff... if you find yourself anywhere near new jersey or even new york definetely go to the outlet mall called "jersey gardens". best. place. EVA.

    Who wants to be on the next big thing? It's all about the never-will-be-big-thing (Fjall Raven at the moment). :cool:

    If I or someone I knew were going to the States, I'd buy a rake of RL polo shirts. Long lasting, timeless, and the new fitted model is even better.

    Personally I'd go for GUESS by Marciano which is half the price than it is here, Ralph Lauren and Ruehl.

    If you do buy Abercrombie & Fitch/ áeropostale/ hollister/ american eagle etc. don't buy with big logos blazened across them as that'll [imho anyway] look really tacky [tackier than now I mean] in a few years time.


    Oh and OP whatever brand/s you choose to buy, make sure you don't buy trend led pieces that will date quickly ...stick to classic pieces that won't let you down;)

    Have fun!
