Fresh, Sweatshop-Free Deals At American Apparel

American Apparel is the kind of brand that offers a distinct sense of reliability, and yet also manages to surprise you when you’re least ready for it. The made-in-the-USA brand has looks that work season after season, but you can also count on new styles dropping that will add some pep to the closet when you need it most.

For solid-color junkies, American Apparel has pieces galore in every color under the sun. You will find jewel-toned, stretchy knits shaped into wardrobe essentials, for example, and the accessories to match. We took a look at just how much selection there really was, and the colors and silhouettes are more varied than we thought. Between the rich purple, lovely, clear greens, and lipstick reds, you’re sure to find an item that strikes a chord with you.

There’s much to be said for sweatshop-free casual wear, and we’ll just give you a taste now. American Apparel has always supported sweatshop-free, ethical manufacturing, and it even has a section on its website dedicated to “Sweatshop Free Stories.” And doesn’t everyone want a boost when they are shopping? This is a brand you can feel good about.

American Apparel has been around long enough to walk the walk and talk the talk, too. The brand started in North Carolina in 1989 as a wholesale company and moved to Los Angeles in the ‘90s -- where it has stayed ever since. Its quality basics are one of its most notable features, but its sustainable background has secured it a place in fashion’s Hall of Fame.
