In Short
Known almost as much for its raunchy ads as for its clothes, this LA-based company makes comfortable, youth-oriented basics, such as T-shirts, tanks, shorts, jackets, hoodies, swimsuits and underwear in solid colors and cheeky retro designs. Racy posters and clothes organized by color are standard in most stores, with all clothing made sweatshop-free in Los Angeles. The store also sells cotton jersey dresses and skirts at fairly low prices, as well as children's clothes.
