At its massive garment works in downtown Los Angeles, American Apparel designs, knits, cuts, dyes, and sews an eclectic lineup of stylish, well-fitting fashion basics. Shoppers can feed hungry closets with a chic cornucopia of comfortable classics, such as tri-blend short-sleeved track shirts in eight eye-sating flavors ($22) or ankle-accentuating striped calf-high socks ($8). Meshwear reintroduces fashionable femmes to familiar pieces recast in new fabrics and colors, such as an ’80s-style nylon Gloria-V bodysuit inset with a deep, v-shaped micromesh panel ($44). Eminently versatile, a basic leather belt ($34) tames the nebulous nature and flowy chiffon of an oversize button-up ($58). For the winter months or warm-weather staring contests with obstinate air conditioners, American Apparel also packs outerwear, such as the men’s flex fleece zip hoodie ($46) and the chunky-knit striped fisherman’s pullover ($78).

A socially responsible vertically integrated production model and a systematic aversion to waste allow American Apparel to staff its sweatshop-free facility in downtown Los Angeles with thousands of smile-wearing workers and keep its prices low and its environmental impact to a minimum.
