If you’re looking for discounts on the basics, then you’ll want to check out American Apparel’s Warehouse Sale in Toronto’s Chinatown. American Apparel has embraced the opportunity to run a pop-up store during the holiday season, when wish lists tend to be long, while budgets are tight.
Before you head over to their temporary outlet, visit your nearest American Apparel store to try on t-shirts, pants and sweaters so you’ll know your size. There are no fitting rooms available and I don’t think you want to be that person awkwardly changing clothes in the basement.
The main level has some trendier pieces that you’ll want to wear immediately, as well as backpacks, warm gloves and scarves. Downstairs, you’ll find the kids’ section, coloured jeans and lots of dance wear.
All purchases are final sale, so you make sure you thoroughly inspect each item you like before taking out your wallet. Some clothes have stains and loose threads, but most damaged items are marked with a red sticker.
The Warehouse Sale is a good place to go with friends, especially those you plan to celebrate Halloween with next year. Why rely on the racks of Value Village next fall when you can start planning and buying your costumes now?
