A
Daffy's
Two floors of designer duds and accessories for men, women and children (as well as a random handful of homewares), with prices that can be blissfully low. And the tags – like those at most discount shops – show you the item's suggested retail price on top of Daffy’s price, which, at an average of 50% off, just gives you more incentive to buy.

Adam
Oscar de la Renta protégé Adam Lippes' Meatpacking store is full of the smart, modern clothes that have made him a rising star. There's something for men and women (on the left and right sides of the store, respectively) amid the casually hung chic separates, polos, T-shirts and sweaters. Emphasis is on unusual and sensuous materials, like buttery suede and plump quilting.

Barneys Co-op
The edgier, younger, less expensive version of Barneys has (relatively) affordable deals. At this expansive, loftlike space, with a spare, very selective inventory of clothing for men and women, plus shoes and cosmetics, the biannual warehouse sale (February and August) packs the place, with both endless merchandise and mobs of customers.

Prada
Don't come just for the shoes: check out the space. Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas has transformed the old Guggenheim into a fantasy land full of elegant hardwood floors and small dressing spaces. Don't be afraid to try something on – those translucent changing-room doors do fog up when you step inside.

Balenciaga
Come and gaze at this cool, gray, Zen-like space. It's the gallery district's showcase, appropriately enough, for the artistic, post-apocalypse, avant-garde styles of this French fashion house. Expect strange lines, goth patterns and pants for very skinny (and deep-pocketed) gals.

Odin
Named after the mighty Norse god, Odin offers a bit of magic for men seeking a new look. The large boutique carries stylish downtown labels like Phillip Lim, Band of Outsiders and Edward, and is a great place to browse for up-and-coming designers. Other eye candy at the minimalist store includes Comme des Garçons wallets, sleek sunglasses, Sharps grooming products and Taschen coffee-table books. Other branches are in the East Village and the West Village.

Buckler
Producing cult menswear that blends 'roguish American icons with British edge,' Buckler is famous for its selection of brash and boyish denim designs. If you like the way Lenny Kravitz and Iggy Pop dress, you've found the perfect store.

Alife Rivington Club
Concealed behind an unmarked entrance (ring the buzzer), ARC feels more like the VIP lounge of a nightclub than a shoe store. You’ll find royal-hued carpeting, a long leather couch and a handsome display case of rare, limited-edition sneakers.
Stocks of those coveted Nikes and Adidas change often and sell out fast, so don’t dawdle if you see something you like. For more upscale streetwear, check out Alife’s spinoff, ARC Sports across the road.

Nepenthes New York
Occupying an old sewing shop in the Garment District, this cult Japanese collective stocks in-the-know labels like Engineered Garments and Needles, famed for their quirky detailing and artisanal production value (think tweed lace-up hem pants). While there's a small, well-curated selection of women's pieces, the focus is on menswear. Accessories include bags and satchels, hard-to-find fragrances and obscure magazines.
