American Apparel pretty much sells one thing: cotton solids. Yes, there is a variety of colors and styles (long-sleeve shirts, tank dresses, polo dresses, miniskirts, underwear, PJs) - but it is still just solid-print cottons! BORING! Yes I know they have cool ads and don't use sweatshop labor, but this place is still overpriced. And they always have a few really weird items that totally don't belong, like gold lame unitards or silver thong bikinis. To top it off, the selection almost never changes, because how can you really change up a solid T-shirt? If you're looking for basics it's fine, but other than that, it's the dullest shopping experience ever.
