Marc by Marc Jacobs
With five small shops sprinkled around the West Village, Marc Jacobs has established a real presence in this well-heeled neighborhood. Large front windows allow easy peeking – assuming there’s not a sale, during which you’ll only see hordes of fawning shoppers. Here’s the layout: on Bleecker St, you’ll find the women’s line at No 403-405, women’s accessories (fun wallets, rubber boots and T-shirts) at No 385 and the children’s line (Little Marc) at No 382. Men should head one block over, where they’ll find the men’s collection at 301 W 4th St and men’s accessories at 298 W 4th.

Patricia Field
The move from its SoHo digs to the new Bowery location brings much-needed space (4000 sq ft to be exact) to this fun, whimsical design shop. The fashion-forward stylist for Sex and the City, Patricia Field isn’t afraid of flash, with feather boas, pink jackets, disco dresses, graphic and color-block T-shirts and leopard-print heels, plus colored frizzy wigs, silver spandex and some wacky gift ideas for good measure.

Scoop
Scoop is a great one-stop destination for unearthing top contemporary fashion by Theory, Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs, James Perse and many others. While there’s nothing particularly edgy about the selections, there’s a lot on offer (over 100 designers covering men’s, women’s and children’s), and you can often score deals at season-end sales. Scoop has several stores in the city.

Stella McCartney
More showroom than full-fledged store, McCartney's Meatpacking outpost has a minimal selection on hand, but, oh, what a selection it is. Drapy, gauzy, muted in color yet high on femininity, the delicate, ethereal clothes shine in this pared-down setting. Of course, McCartney's clothes are animal-product free, in keeping with her vegan philosophy.

Topshop
The genius of Topshop is that the clothes always find that sweet spot between trendy and wearable. Everything's up-to-the-minute but still flattering and practical for the average person. Three floors for women, one for men, and all at fairly reasonable prices. Sales can get hectic: be prepared to dig for bargains.

Opening Ceremony
Just off the beaten SoHo path, Opening Ceremony is a favorite among fashion insiders for its unique collection of indie labels. Owners Carol Lim and Humberto Leon showcase a changing roster of labels from across the globe – though the look is always avant-garde, even if the prices are decidedly uptown.

Century 21
If you're a fashionista with more style than cents, this cut-price department store is your promised land. Raid the racks for designer duds at up to 70% off. Not everything is a knockout or a bargain, but persistence pays off. It gets crowded and competitive, so if you see something you like, get hold of it fast.

Uniqlo
Uniqlo is Japan's answer to H&M and this is its showstopping 89,000-sq-ft flagship megastore. Grab a mesh bag at the entrance and let the elevators woosh you up to the 3rd floor to begin your retail odyssey. The forte here is affordable, fashionable, quality basics, from tees and undergarments, to Japanese denim, cashmere sweaters and high-tech parkas. Prepare to queue.
