hey.. anyone can give me cool places to go shopping for cheap in the san fran, LA area?

[tangerine]

In SF, don't know if these are "cool" but there is a chance of finding discounted cool clothes there:

Rolo Outlet (SOMA)

Loehmanns (Downtown/Union Square}

Nordstrom Rack

Buffalo Exchange (Haight) (used)

American Rag has some decent prices in their "vintage" section (used)

awesome.. what kinda stuff can i find at these places?

[tangerine]

Nordstrom Rack and Loehmanns liquidate stock from Nordstrom's and other department stores, so anything those stores sell.

The others are mainly clothing and accessories, pants, shirts, jackets, sweaters, hoodies, belts, hats... stuff like that.

Popular current brands and styles, if that's what you're asking. Maybe you should say what you are looking for?

SF: try

- Rolo: expensive jeans, hoodies, and highend street clothes

- Try the stores on Hayes Valley: there's a couple alright stores like Azalea and the mens clothing store next to the sake shop and HUF if you like Nikes.

- In the last resort, you can try the stores on Haight Street- don't write it off just yet, there's a few vintage stores and TRUE and Stussy.

- Lastly there's a few stores, Upper Playground and Primtive Sound down Haight on "upper Haight which is 20 blocks from the other stores on Haight street.

LA:

- There's a few stores on Los Feliz Blvd, including a few alright clothing stores with small brands and XLarge store.

- There's a cool store on Sawtelle and Olympic in West L.A. called Black Market that I like, with Giant RObot just up the street.

- Then of course, there's the shopping on Robertson ave, including American Rag (i hate), then there's Undefeated too for all your hip hop sneakers.

- There's also the VICE store somewhere I think on Melrose but it's slightly out of the way.

Vice store in LA is closed. It's now another sneaker shop

Quote:

Black Market has a Long Beach branch. It's not that great, mostly Penguin/Modern Amusement/RVCA/Ambiguous. More "brand-namey" than stylish.

Long Beach has 4th st, which is oversold if you ask me, but I've found some nice stuff there. Actually, the best thing I ever got there was a chair that matched the rest of my parents' kitchen furniture.

There's Proper shoe store in Long Beach, probably next to everything else you listed.
