Brandy Melville (CLOSED)

The 17-year-old Italian cotton-clothing brand adored by laid-back L.A. trendsetters has finally come to loosen up NYC, with its first East Coast store. The shop boasts an antique, rustic vibe with exposed-brick walls, blond-hardwood flooring, and wooden cabinets and tables showcasing layer-friendly, flowing tanks ($11–$20), curve-hugging minidresses ($27–$35), off-the shoulder sweaters ($40–$50) and fitted, high-waisted stretchy skirts ($15–$22). Opt for nonchalant-chic styles such as solid wide-neck, draped knitted sweaters ($53), rough-edged, razorback tanks with silk-screened feathers ($24) and billowing, summery tunics ($39).
